Brenna at 7-months

Brenna turned 7-months old while we were gone on vacay, but Grandma was more than willing to take our Pooh picture to keep up with tradition.

 Isn't she adorable!
At 7 months of age Brenna is finally sleeping through the night on a pretty consistent basis (now watch that she'll wake up tonight just to spite me for saying this!).  She goes to bed around 8:00 and wakes up around 7:00.  She typically takes a nap in the mornings and then another one late afternoon to evening-ish time.  She has quite the appetite.  She's eating all kinds of Stage 2 foods, including mixed vegetables.  She even gobbles up the peas.  She usually eats a least one 3.5-4 oz. container of food at each meal and sometimes will eat more.  She follows that with a bottle after each meal and then a bottle for mid-morning, mid-afternoon and before bed snacks.  She's also able to somewhat feed herself small pieces of cereal, though we just give her the Gerber Puffs since that chewing motion isn't mastered yet.
She is so, so close to crawling.  She can roll around all over the place and is very mobile just in doing that.  She loves to play with Brady's toys and that's starting to cause problems already.  Big brother doesn't always like to share. 
She babbles a lot and boy, does she stick out her tongue quite a bit.  She's starting to hit a very, very fun stage where she is more interactive and I love that.  She remains fascinated by Brady and watches him all the time.  She also likes to sing and bounce around and she loves it when I throw her up in the air (just a small distance, of course).
