In the space between Adelaide's 6th and 7th month birthdays Adelaide lost a lot of her "baby" and really started developing into a little girl.
She finally mastered the fine art of sitting on her own. While she'd been working on it for a while, she became quite proficient at it this month, learning to reach out and turn around. She started reaching and grabbing and moving back and forth.
She found her voice and babbles away. We explored lots of new food, and found little (if anything) that she didn't like. Her favorite foods are definitely sweet potato and applesauce, but she's happy with anything by spinach so far.
Christmas was hilarious fun. She was a rock star with all the attention she was receiving, and at all of the events we had to attend. She was ready for a break by December 27th, but she enjoyed the season and I think that she'll love it as much as I do. It was a very special Christmas for us, and we can't wait for many more. There's something different about Christmas with babies and it's going to be so great.
We spent a lot of this month just hanging out and preparing for my return to work. We laid together for naps almost every afternoon, and snuggled to sleep every night. It was just a matter of soaking up my last few weeks at home with her, and we just enjoyed quiet time together.
