Ella's 7th month

Ella your 7 month has been challenging for mommy but you have had 2 big milestones! You finally can sit up on your own and you figured out how to get anywhere you want by scooting. it's very funny because you use both arms but only your right leg. You have also begun getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth but we are still waiting to see you officially crawl. Still no words, but some mumblings of gaga bababh. I thought i heard momma once at a last night feeding but nothing officially counts until i can tell it's for real. the last few days of month 7 you came down with your first real illness. you woke up with a fever, puked on mommy and cried non stop. we went to the dr and turns out you got a virus that was going around - sore throat, fever of 102.5 and lots of crying. 4 days last you broke out in a blotchy rash which the dr warned about - (you didn't have rosiola).
so far you are not sleeping through the night and continue to be a crazy eater. i dont' know why you can't sit still and drink your bottle. i literlly have to strap you down in the carseat to eat during the day. you don't like your highchair either, you open your mouth to eat your food but just whine and want to get down. personally mommy doesn't get it. you want to be held and / or have mommy in sight at all times, it's pretty crazy. mommy is really hoping you grow out of this stage ASAP b/c it's exhausting! :( I love you and want you to be happy. one thing you love more than milk is your mesh ice thing that holds ice cubes, you love that!
I am welcoming month 8 with open arms!
