Baby Kate

Baby Kate is 7 months old :) I can not believe how fast time has flown. I know everyone says that, but holy cow!!!! 

There isn't too much to report on her milestones,,, 

~She has no teeth yet,, however I am sure they are coming VERY soon with how drooly and cranky she has been over the last week. And she chomps on EVERYTHING!

~She is not crawling yet... but this is more my fault then her lack of trying :) Everytime I see she is close I quietly swipe her knees out and engage her in something else hehe. Don't tell her daddy :)

~She is finding other ways to get around,, she rolls and scoots, just not on her knees yet.

~She still refuses for the most part to eat any baby food or take a bottle. She does not want to eat baby food if I am trying to feed her, but she does eat well for her daddy and grandma when they try to feed her.

~She absolutely LOVES when her brother and sisters engage her! She has only laughed (real laugh) a few times and they were all in response to her siblings playing with her.

~Kate knows who 'her people' are vs 'strangers' and lets us know when she has had enough of strangers interactions :)  None of our other kids cared much, but Kate wants to be with her mom or dad at all times.

~She still refuses a pacifier. I am very sad about this. In fact none of our kids ever 'took binki's'. The twins would suck on them, but they never used them to pacify themselves.  Alexis NEVER took one, and Kate is the same way. She will play with it as a toy, and chomp the heck out of it, but will NOT suck on it.  She is wanting to nurse all the time (I think teething) but gets mad when she gets milk because she's not hungry. horrible cycle. IF she would only take a binki, it would help GREATLY!!!!  :(

But in all she is a really good baby, and I am sad to see her getting so big so fast.
