Month 7
September 17 - October 16


What an exciting month!  She eats solid foods daily.  She now has 4 upper teeth and 2 lower.  She's able to communicate more.  She baby talks a lot.  She sleeps for longer periods during the day.  She's able to stand up while holding on to something.  She crawls about a step or two and sits back down.  She prefers to stand though.  She tries to crack me up by blowing bubbles in my stomach and looks up to see if I'm laughing.  If I am, she opens her mouth big and dives right into my belly again.   She jumps up and down whenever she sees mommy or daddy come home.  She tries to grab absolutely everything!  We have to be more watchful. Instead of relaxing in her swing, she's more interested in climbing it now.  She's becoming very active.  As excited as we are to see her walking, there's a little bit of fear :-)

 

 

"Hello ... how y'all doooooooo-in?"

Tia playing with Grandpa (and Grandma) ...

Our little Buddha making goofy faces at daddy ...

She had this phase where she squirms a lot whenever I put something over her head so I tell her that she'll just have to wear her shirt as a hat.  She doesn't seem to mind ...

Tia's favorite are carrots or sweet peas ...

"I'm a big girl now.  I get to have a cup of my own!"

It's great having a girl!  She loves to chat!

Whenever we walk to the living room and I slow down, she starts to smile because she knows daddy is around the corner.  So we play peek-a-boo and she smiles big at daddy.

Sometimes she tries to stand on her own.  She's successful for a few seconds but eventually falls on her bottom.  It's so cute watching her balance (she stretches both arms)

Here's Tia attempting to stand on her own again.  In this playpen, she usually catches herself before falling down.  She's able to walk from one fence to another now.

Uncle Steve, daddy's cousin, came from Chicago to visit the family.  Here we are at the Huntington Beach pier.

More pictures with Uncle Steve.

Tia started crawling this month but would only take a step or two then sits back down or rolls to her back.  Here she is at Alyssa's 2nd Birthday party held at MyGym at Huntington Beach.
