Our Zellie At 7 {and a half} Months

Can anyone even believe Azalea is 7 months old now? She's actually approaching 7 1/2 months but I've been out of town for the last 2 weeks and am just now getting around to an update. 

She's a sitter!

She's also a ham...as soon as the camera comes out she gets the biggest smile and chuckles.

She is so in love with her big brother. He cracks her up.

This is her favorite "okay, I'll amuse  you with a little smile" smirk. It kills me.

But then I just say "ZELLIE!!" in a high-pitched voice and she looks like this :)

She has the most expressive eyes and eyebrows around. You can read her mind by looking at her eyebrows. It's so cute and hilarious all at once.

{in this picture, she's keeping a close eye on Maxson, who was wielding a tow truck...}

Zellie is:

Crawling

Sitting

Eating 3 solid meals a day, plus one snack of Cheerios and/ or Graham crackers...We have a serious foodie on our hands!

Still nursing like a champ. Done with both sides in 5 minutes flat.

Waving "hi" and "bye bye". She especially loves to employ this skill while I change her diaper...she squeals "hiiiiiii" while waving her little fingers. I LOVE IT. 

Happy all. the. time. I don't know how she does it.

Still waking up once or twice in the night to nurse, but it only takes her a couple minutes to eat and she's out again, so it's not so bad.

Growing a serious head of hair. The hair in the back goes down past her neck and almost in between her shoulder blades. It also goes way passed her eyes so I have to put it up everyday. To cut or not to cut?

21 lbs. Yep, you read that right. She's a chunk and it's the best.

About grown out of her Chicco infant seat {their weight limit is 22 lbs}. Her new Britax Marathon arrives tomorrow...coincidentally, Britax has a Marathon model named "Azalea". How could I not choose that one? {plus, we love Maxson's Britax.}

A serious head-turner. Everywhere we go, people stop and tell us how gorgeous she is. I know I'm biased, so of course I think that, but every time we go out she's a mini celebrity. Matt is already planning on getting a shotgun for when she gets to be a teenager...

Oh Zellie-Belly we love you so much! You add such a sweet spirit to our home and remind me every day why being a mommy is the best thing I could be doing with my time. You are so beautiful and we can't believe we made you. I'm so thankful Heavenly Father trusts me enough to be the mommy to such a perfect little princess. You bring so much joy to my life, baby girl! xoxoxoxoxo
