And just like that, Papillon turns 7 months!
Is it just me or does 7 months sound much older than 6 months?
Anyway, here she is with Snoopy, and wearing her "I heart my Auntie" shirt specially for her Auntie who just went across the ocean again to finish school.

I think she looks bigger than last month; but who knows.
I don't have any official weight update, so for now we will just pretend that maybe she has hit 15 lbs. A mother can hope. Haha.
At 7 months Papillon...
...sleeps from 7:30 or 8pm until 7:00 or 8:00am. Its glorious.
...generally takes 3, 1-hour naps a day. Generally in her crib, but she will also nap in the (new!) Mei Tai (which she loves) and in the car.
...is a "solid" food eating champion. It took her a while to figure it out, but in the less than 3 weeks that she has been really eating, her appetite has taken off. 3 weeks ago I was happy that she downed 1T of rice cereal. She now eats 3-4T rice cereal, 2-3 T veggies and 2-3T fruit in one sitting. And she does that twice a day - lunch and dinner.
....drinks out of a regular cup (that I hold, and yes, she still spills some).
...eats rice cereal, avacados, bananas, sweet potatoes, peas, and we are working on yogurt. And still nurses give or take 5 times a day.
...thus far has succeeded in not being constipated despite the fact that she eats mostly rice cereal and bananas. Yay for champion pooping!
...is mostly in 6-9 month clothes.
...loves to say "dadadadada". All. day. long. Its the cutest thing.
...is a serious, serious baby. She smiles a lot for me at home, but when we are out and about, she likes to give people a blank stare. At the grocery store, people will ooh and aaah over her as she rides in the sling, and in return, Papillon will stare blankly, or, if they are lucky, give them a quizzical eyebrow raise. Side note: Baby-talking to a baby who doesn't smile in return tends to make people feel really awkward. Haha.
....is becoming mildly mommy attached. Not terribly, but she has her moments.
...officially goes to the nursery at church. And other than the fact that she wants to be held the whole time, she loves it. No crying or anything. At least not for now. :-)
...doesn't roll over. Nope. Pretty much never. She also does not get up on her knees to crawl. She loves to sit. And sit and sit and sit. She has managed to push her self backwards around the room, but that is a rare-ish occasion. While I feel like she should be rolling over and possibly even getting up on her knees, I am not complaining. A stationary baby is an easy baby, and I will enjoy every minute of it. Especially since many people have told me its the ones who don't roll over or crawl that will just stand up run one day. That will be an exciting adventure; for now we will just hope that she figures some movement out before April cause I am not sure our the pediatrician will react to a completely stationary 9 month old....
....gnaws on everything! Maybe, maybe, maybe there are teeth on the way...

She also loves reading books with her Nannie. (and who wouldn't love Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type. It's a must read. For sure)
I love you, Papillon!
UPDATE: I almost forgot something that is definitely not to be forgotten. It has been 1 full month since Papillon has had any tear duct issues. The couple days before her 6 month appointment her eye was terribly goopy. But it was literally the day after her 6 month check up that was the first clear-eye day. Its been completely clear since then. Yay for not having to have that surgically fixed!!!
