Evelyn at 7 months

This little sweetie is 7 months old! 
She shrieks like a pterodactyl, loves to pull hair, and eats three meals a day of solid food.
The remote is her favorite toy.
She's a pretty steady sitter now and can push to sit. I think that's one of my favorite baby milestones! So much freedom to decide to change your view! 
Evelyn got tooth one and two on October 28th and 29th. Hooray! Look at those pearly whites!

Evelyn can do the army crawl, she likes being on her tummy. She wears her pj's most of the day, most every day. I believe in babies being comfy and warm! Plus, we don't go too many places. And then I never have to search for the shoes and socks she pulls off. 
Evelyn gets angry about getting in the car sometimes. She does a pretty strong arch-up to protest being buckled into her car seat. It can be quite the wrestling match! 
At her 6 month appointment, I told the doctor Evelyn was still sleeping in our room. She said it's time to get her out! I have been procrastinating that, I am just too lazy to climb stairs to feed her in the middle of the night. But Dr. Esham said it's time for her to sleep through the night too! I have been lax about this with all my kids, but Dr. Esham said it's much easier to do it now than when they are older. So, we did it, about a week ago. She only cried for 20 minutes the first time! And it only took a few days for her to be settled with it! And it is lovely to come out of the sleep-deprived fog! (And it really does deserve all those exclamation points!) It's a relief to not have to jump up and get her or fret about how much she is crying or spend hours rocking her to sleep. And I think it has been great for her too, she is not nearly as nervous around other people, I thinks she was sleep deprived too. 
She has the best baby giggles!
What a cutie! We love her so much!
