Each month seems to be flying by with this little gal! She is growing so much and I wish I could slow time down a bit. Viv has this sitting up thing down solid, she loves to sit up and play with her toys now. She is really discovering her toys and now that she knows how to use her hands to get the toys to her mouth we are in business. She love to put everything and anything in her mouth. I know this is "normal" for babies to do, but it wasn't something Berkeley ever did so I'm having to be extra aware of this new development.
Vivi got to go swimming for the first time and she loved it! No tears, just lots of splashing around, she had this face on the entire time she was in the pool but with lot of water splashes.
This month she traveled to upstate New York and enjoyed a trip to Plymouth and had fun on the beach there. She is so fair skinned that we have to keep her covered up but she loves the beach!
She is slowly but surely growing some more hair, and it is coming in VERY red. It is really beautiful just like her. She continues to be the happiest and smiliest baby I know. She just loves attention and if you give it to her she is HAPPY.
She is a pretty quiet baby, not cooing and babbling as much as I wish she were, but I think Berke does enough talking for the both of them so she doesn't feel the need to talk much.
Her brother is still the person who makes her laugh the most. She loves watching him and is entertained by him endlessly. He still refers to Viv as "Baby Sister" which is kinda cute; maybe one day he will call her by her name....
She weighed in at 17.2 lbs at her check up with is in the 50th percentile, but is in the 97th percentile for her height. So they say she is tall and skinny, but if you look at her thighs I'm not sure I would call it that. She is wearing a lot of 9 month clothes already because she is so tall; she is growing so much faster than Berkeley ever did!
These are some of her buddies Magnus and Leo, they got to hang out a bit this month. Turns out most of Viv's friends are going to be boys because girls are not popular among our friends or family as of late. No big deal, we love boys!
Viv started eating solids this month, it took her a bit to adjust but she is eating well now. She is still breastfeeding and drinking lots of milk, so we will attribute her chunkiness to all that yumminess.
On her 7 month birthday she decided to cut her two bottom teeth, which has not made her super happy but they are through and hopefully we are done for a bit with those darn teeth!
We love this little lady! I love that she smiles at me constantly. That she is always happy to see me (probably because of my boobs, but I'll take it!) I love how easy going she is and what a great sleeper she is. We are lucky to have such a beautiful and happy girl in our family!
Love you Vivienne!
