seven whole months

Our little cutie completed seven months of life this month. She is crawling everywhere and now has octopus arms as my sister, Jennifer, so accurately describes them. I love the way she explores and wants to reach new ends of the world (read: house). Along with this she has figured out how to open the DVD cabinet and pull out all of its contents. The first time, I sat there and let her without any interference, the entire time wondering where my baby had gone. She is not one any longer. Babies don't stand up and move around and pull things out of cabinets. I know I am probably sounding very sentimental right now,but I am really just floored how quickly time passes. Nonetheless she gets more and more fun with each passing day and I am loving every moment of it.

Ada said her first "word" the day of Jimmy's Ironman. "Dadada" comes from her mouth quite frequently, but how appropriate to begin this bit of conversation the day of her dada's race.

Here she is with her first teething biscuit. We keep thinking she is getting teeth, but none have surfaced yet. Either way she still enjoys the teething biscuits.

Showing off her toothless grin and her five three inch hairs. She is beautiful with or without. Lastly, yesterday morning at 5am Ada started crying. Unlike her to wake at this hour and unable to see her on the monitor I went to check on her. She had pulled up for the first time, freaked herself out by her new ability and could not figure out how to sit back down (She had a similar reaction the first time she sat up in her crib in the middle of the night). I first thought it was a fluke, but then yesterday in our office, she did it again.

She may be bald and she may be toothless, but she is on the move!

***update: I started this post yesterday and then while at Stonecup for lunch I felt Ada's first tooth***

***update: Sept 26th-Another tooth discovered***
