the Latest and Greatest

Time for an update of the latest and greatest about Betty. She is 7 months old and still changing every day. Since my last post, Betty's six month check-up came and went. At her appt. she weighed 15 lbs. and 11.5 oz. She was 26 inches long. Since then she has definitely grown some more. She sits up really well. She isn't crawling yet but she rolls over lots and lots. She just recently started "army crawling." She can get all the way across the room by rolling and scooting.

Photo time, I will say that the spot I pick in the house to take her monthly photos maybe isn't the best. She does best if I take her photo in the morning but then the sun comes in the blind and shows in the pictures. I've tried raising the blind and then the window frame creates the shadow, so in the end I just decided to ignore it. Consider it part of the charm of my non-professional photo taking. :)


Six month photos 

Betty tried rice cereal first, as suggested by the doctor, and she didn't like it much.
It even gave her a rash/breakout on her face so we moved on to baby food.


 
This outfit and the kitty were two of the first things I bought before Betty was born.
I just thought the kitty went with the pajamas so well even though I got them from two different stores. I couldn't wait to see her wear them and now she does.

 
 
Betty had peas for her first food. She seemed to like them. I think sweet potatoes are her favorite so far.

 
In case you were wondering, yes those are Green Bay jammies and her bib says, "I live for football and the Green Bay Packers." This was, of course, a Sunday! :)



We went to a fall festival event at Earl May Garden Center. They had fun things for kids to do and plenty of cute places to take a photo, best of all it was free.

Aunt Carrie and Stella were there with us. Is Stella photobombing little Betty?


I love this one; it seems like Betty is looking at Stella and laughing with her.

 
Seven month photos.


 
Somebody wanted in on the photo shoot.

 
She did really well and I could have taken even more photos this time because she was really having fun. Of course, my memory stick chose that time to become full...
 
 
I hope to make my next post sooner. Betty and I plan to go to Night Eyes at Blank Park Zoo with Auntie and Stella next week. I can't wait to put Betty in her Halloween costume!
