7 Months Old!

Kirsten is 7 months old now!

Her favorite things this month:
I think it's a tie between being down on the floor trying to crawl and eating solid foods. She still can't crawl (so the Christmas tree is completely safe from her), but she constantly wants to be on the floor, rolling around, moving and squirming, and trying to get her legs up under her so she can crawl. She'll get across a room, but by rolling. She's definitely a roller! She also gets very excited in the high chair, because she knows she gets solid food. Other things she loves this month:
the kitties, anything that lights up, staring at strangers until they smile at her, Christmas songs, Sesame Street, being tickled, baths, kicking her legs, and being in her stroller at the mall.

Things she can't quite do yet:
Sit up completely on her own (for a minute or two she will, but we have to be real close to catch her because she falls over. I think she can do it, but doesn't like to.), crawl, stand up, pull herself up on things, fall asleep on her own in the crib.

Comments I hear all the time:

"She has such pretty blue eyes!"
"Look at all that hair!"
"She has more hair than I do!" (usually from balding men)
"She looks like a little doll."

The Santa dress was a little small for her, but I couldn't resist dressing her in it anyway. It was hard to get her to sit up for the pictures on her own, because she kept wanting to fall over to the side. She laughed when she fell over and her hat fell off, as you can see in the picture.
