7 Months!

Miss Lily Renee is 7 months old already. She is growing up so fast. She's going to be a year old before we know it. She's advancing in leaps and bounds and is so interactive and playful and just an all-around happy baby. She adores playing with other kids. She was playing with a 3rd or 4th cousin at Thanksgiving and she just thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. There were several other kids there but Blake was her clear favorite. He made her crack up laughing for at least a half hour.

She's starting to imitate us more. If we show her how to comb daddy's hair with her little brush, she'll do it on her own. She loves books. She likes to look at them herself. Her favorite books are the ones with animals that have fake fur on them so you can feel what the animals feel like. She also loves to look at herself in the mirror. We're pretty sure she still thinks it's another baby and she'll even give herself kisses.

She's getting to be a big girl too:

Weight: 18.5 lbs
Length: 28.5"
