First Lost Tooth

William lost his first tooth a few weeks ago.

"Mom, get a picture of me sticking my tongue through my lost tooth."

It's hard to tell that that's what he's doing, but it's still a cute picture. Luckily dad is willing to be the tooth fairy now days. When I do it, the tooth fairy forgets to do her job. :)

7 Months Old

And finally starting to self-soothe. She doesn't constantly suck her thumb - just every other day or so. I bought some binkies from Target, and she likes those just as much as she likes her thumb, so I try to give her a binky when I see her suck her thumb.

She also sits up very well. She only falls back or forward when she is tired of sitting and wants some attention. Her siblings like to bring her all kinds of toys when she is sitting.

She still only rolls from her belly to her back. I've seen her roll from her back to her belly once.

She's not looking as much like Rebecca as a baby the older she gets.

She's taking a bottle once a day since I really don't enjoy nursing in public and we are at Wet n Wild all the time. I know that is pretty selfish, but I honestly get anxiety when it's time for her to eat and I'm not at home. Kevin and I are going on a trip without her in October, so I was going to have to ween her soon anyway.

She's very mild-tempered.  Most people who meet her comment about how good she is.

Her siblings adore her.  In the morning, Rebecca likes to play "daycare" with her, which is nice for me because she'll watch her while I go back to sleep for a little bit.

And that's my sweet Lia at 7 months.

Selfies

Lia hates tummy time, so to get her to stay on her belly, I put my phone in front of her with the camera on so she can look at herself on the screen. This morning when I was doing that with her, Braden came and asked if he could push the picture button. He ended up taking a bunch of pictures of himself. As I went in to delete them off my phone, the kids and I got a good laugh, and I decided to keep them.

I love this kid.
