Finally here

That is Alice's first tooth.  Just a couple days past 7 months, her bottom right tooth has made it appearance this morning.  It is still hard to get a picture of it, but this is the best we could do.  I am hoping this will ease her fussiness, but I have a feeling the bottom left one is shortly behind. 

Snow?

I have heard that this is supposed to be a cold cold winter.  We have had a few cold winters in the past, but last year we did not see a single snowflake at our house. 

Today, before Thanksgiving, on November 21st, we are seeing the snow fall outside.  It has been snowing for a couple hours.  It is sticking to the roofs, grass, trees, and it is pretty.  I missed seeing snow last year.  I love it when it snows a lot, and the whole city seems to shut down as we are so ill prepared for snow.  Things tend to get quiet, and the pace of life seems to slow when the flakes fall. 

7 Months

Current stats - 16 lbs, 24.5 inches tall, and 16.5 in 42cm head circumference. 

New developments include

• sitting well on her own
• rolled over last week for the first time from back to tummy.  She hasn't done it since, and also appears to not roll over either way.  Perhaps sitting made her forget.
• Her naps have started to improve, and this last week, most days she has taken a decent nap, and she is even in her crib today.  YEAH!
• She has been fairly fussy due to the first tooth that I think is almost here.  
• She likes to eat solids, and is a big fan of carrots and sweet potatoes, she also really likes bananas.  She also has fun playing with cheerios.  She can pick them up, but it is hard to get them out of her hand into her mouth.  Bella loves it though because most end up on the floor.

We are very busy most days with Christmas projects, visiting friends and family, and fun activities like library storytime and football games.  I will now move onto some other specific posts that I have been way behind on.
