My Baby at 7 months

At almost 7 months I notice that my baby

·         Perfects roll-over.

·         Laughing and giggling a lot.

·         Loves colors more and moving objects.

·         Already knows her name.

·         Shows face familiarity.

·         Picks up objects.

·         Sit with minimum assistance.

·         Love to babble.

·         Likes playtime.

·         Appreciates food.

·         Bottle feeding less.

·         Start to crawl.

·         Throwing objects.

·         Bouncing every time I train her to stand.

·         Likes musics.

·         Perfect holding her bottle.

·         Can gesture “no”.

·         Like sounds of paper and plastics.

·         Love to be cuddled and tickled.

·         Enjoys bath time.

Wow! That’s a lot! Good Job, Erin!
