Turn your volume up

Because somebody has something important to say. Somebody that is only 7.5 months old and has had a very busy last week.



You heard it too right?!! MOMMA!!! I don't even care that she isn't saying it to me. The fact that she is saying it at all, AHH! She skipped all the other things that they say babies say first like "Gaga" or "Baba" or "Dada" and moved straight on to Momma!! And now she says it all day long. My kid rocks! I guess it doesn't really count as her first word, but I'd say that that is a huge step leap towards it. It is still going down in her baby book, for sure.

Not only has she become a talking girl but she has become more mobil by rolling to wherever she wants to go too. Of course, she multitasks by talking and moving at the same time. My smart girl :). She started the crawling stance last week and we're now working on moving arms and legs at the same time. For now, sometimes she gets in the position then rolls to wherever she wants and other times she just rolls.



There is still a lot of *flopping* into the down position, very graceful my little one. She fusses out of frustration until she gets herself back up into a good position. She has scooted backwards a few times but no forward motions yet. For a girl that HATED tummy time just a few short weeks ago, she sure is putting herself on her belly a lot these days. I think crawling is right around the corner. Oh Lordy, what am I in for?! I don't know if I'm quite ready for this one yet. Hopefully just in time to see Daddy (if he gets a short visit to come home *FINGERS CROSSED!) Wouldn't that be a fantastic welcome home present?



On that note, I am constantly in this mental debate of whether to share things like this, not because I don't want you to see. I TOTALLY do! I am more concerned with Hubs and how he feels seeing this. Its a fine line between excitedly sharing making someone happy and unintentionally making someone sad to miss out. I never completely know what to do. He loves seeing her and her accomplishments. But, I know its hard to see her growing up on a screen without actually being here to see it as it happens. However, I think missing out completely would be the worst, so until he tells me its too hard or I feel like its better to show him later, I will continue to post the milestones. Obviously, I can't just ignore the fact that my baby girl is growing up so fast and everything she does is new and exciting. Right?
