virtual scrapbook entry

so, she is now 7.25 months old and if i had a scrapbook, i would likely have a page that talks about what she does now that she didn't used to do (right Pam?).

So, let's consider this a scrapbook page:

• she stands up whenever given the opportunity- she will use the couch, the table, your leg, your face, a strand of your hair- basically anything as a climbing tool. She has serious leg strength. As we speak she is ROF -rolling on the floor (but not laughing).
• she walks with help from your hands. When my friend Jody babysat last week she told me the day afterwards her back was killing her and couldn't figure out why? Although Autumn weighs about 16.5 lbs. now- it was the leaning over and walking with Autumn that resulted in back pain.
  
• she loves lampshades. if she gets a chance she will reach out and try to touch it and will giggle the whole time.
• eating is getting interesting these days- rice cereal and oatmeal, mixed fruits and vegetables, the occasional corner of bread with cream cheese, cantelope... we are slowly moving into solids- i am nervous about her choking- she just keeps eyeing my dinner with lust in her eyes. I will try harder
  
• she loves apple juice - white grape is next on the agenda .
• she is moments away from crawling. She gets into the hands and knees position- and by the looks of things she might skip crawling completely and move right into walking.
• if mom is wearing a necklace- there is no need for other toys. she loves mom's necklaces.
  
• she doesn't like her feet to be covered when she is falling asleep (neither do i for the record)
• lucy is still her favorite friend to roll around on the floor with. romeo is a close second, although her love for him thus far is unrequited.
• favorite toys are things like- plastic spoons, mirrors, balls, chewable blocks, the alphabet letters and numbers used in the tub, remote control, anything left on the floor (scary moment this morning- she had a pig ear in her hand when i walked into the living room- note to self: don't leave doggy treats on the floor-- E-YUCK!!!)
• she looks super cute in denim
• her hair is coming in and seems to be coming in at all different angles- it sticks up on the top of her head and somewhat out near her ears. She looks adorable - but i can see some people telling me she might need a haircut soon... i will ignore them, i think.
• she has a personality and she seems to be pretty mellow, easy to amuse, full of laughter, energetic, fun to be with and social. So far- so good.

As of Saturday morning, February 10th- all is well and the girl is perfect. She is currently reaching for my toes - so back to business :)
