Bananas. She loves them. She also can't get enough of pears and sweet potatoes. She isn't too averse to "garden vegetables" (which, coincidentally, includes PEAS!! without her knowledge). So she's doing well with the solid foods. This evening, I plan to chop up a banana into tiny squishable pieces and letting her work on her fine motor skills for a while. I anticipate a sticky, banana-flavored face, so it will inevitably be bath night.
She sits up quite well these days, with only the occasional backwards fall. She's doing well at not overreacting and we always hesitate for a few seconds before rushing to comfort her, so that she doesn't decide to flip out immediately. She's not hurt, and I want her to learn to bounce right back :)
She's getting to the "mad" point when on her stomach and not able to reach her toys, so I think she'll start working out the mechanics of getting her knees under her to crawl, or pulling herself forward with her arms. Right now, she has learned that if she's on a blanket, she can pull the blanket toward her and the toys will come along too.
She is still sleeping fairly well, only waking up once to eat, and sometimes sleeping till about 5:30 am. Can't complain about that!! She is getting better about taking a long afternoon nap in her crib if we put her there and leave the room.
I can't believe she is nearly 7 months old! Her first plane right will be in June and she will be a burly 9 month old. Crazy.
