7 Months

Paisley is 7 Months already and getting to be such a big girl. She weighs 16 lbs 8 ounces and is 26 3/4 inches tall. As of now, she is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height, perfect numbers for a movie star :-) She loves to laugh and is very entertained by little kids. She loves playing with her big cousin Alex and she loves touching her baby cousin Ashton. She is not officially crawling yet, but she gets where she needs to go, she gets up on all four and pivots around until she can make a lunge for whatever it is that she wants. She also pulls up and stands on her toys. No teeth yet but she is definately teething, and you can see her two top teeth through her gums now, I wonder if she will get those first :-) She says "Baaa Baa Baa Baa" and "Ti-Ti-Ti". Sometimes if you start making one her noises than she will start up too, it is really sweet. I think she might be an early talker ... I guess we will see. We started feeding her some food now that she is 7 months old. The only "baby" food that she likes so far is rice cereal mixed with about 5 parts breast milk :-) She gags if you try to feed her bananas, peaches, applesauce, squash or anything else. She does however like regular food. We went out to eat the other night and she tried a little bit of sour cream, refried beans and tomato. She loved every minute of it!! So.. we may be skipping baby food.

Paisleys First Trip to the Park

The weather has been so beautiful the last few days, so we decided to take Paisley for a walk. We walked down to the park that is just down from our house. Paisley loved it. She went down the slide with us and played on the swings. She was smiling and laughing the whole time and even cried when we left.

Paisley's 6 Month Photos

Here are Paisley's 6 Months Photos. She wasn't as smiley as she normally is, which was due in part to the fact that it was her nap time and that the lady doing her photos was not all that interactive. Her little half smile is really cute though and I love how precious she looks in her little kitty outfit!

Paisley's 1st Boo-Boo

Paisley officially got her very first boo-boo yesterday and we ended up taking her to the emergency room. She was playing on the floor with my 13 year old cousin when she went to reach for her Elmo doll and fell face first onto a guitar. Tim was sitting beside them and immediately picked her up. One of the sharp screws on the guitar hit her forehead when she fell and ended up cutting her forehead. Since she fell forward onto it, it made a little hole in her head instead of slicing it. It didn't bleed very much but because it was metal that cut her we felt better taking her into the emergency room to get it checked out. They couldn't really do much for her except put on some antibiotic ointment and a bandaid. She was in a great mood the whole time, laughing at the nurse and at that point we felt silly for taking her in, but you can never be too cautious right?

Everyone always tell you that your kids are going to get hurt but you can't prepare yourself for how bad you feel when they are in pain and scared. We are so thankful that her boo-boo turned out to not be very bad.

Here are some pictures of her last night with her band-aid.
