I heart 7 months

Can it be true? Anya is 7 months today! When I look at the birthday counter on the left I just can't believe it. We are closer to 1 year old than 1 day old now. I am in love with 7 months. She sits up and plays and doesn't get into everything around the house. I trust her to sit there independently surrounded by toys (with pillows behind her just in case) while I get things done around the house. She is silly and gives us laughs and says dadadadadada. We can sit her up in highchairs in restaurants and the front of the grocery cart. She loves to look around and I love knowing she isn't in her car seat as long. She can play with more toys now and hits buttons to make things play. She will rock back on the couch to music or jump in her jumper to music. She is pretty good at standing up now if you are holding on to her. This morning I sat her in front of the computer on my lap and we went to the Sesame Street website. She smiled and watched Elmo sing a Christmas song. She tried to touch the keys like I do. She tells us what she wants a lot more now. She will make noises if something she wants is out of reach. She shows anger by making a face and noises if you take something away that she wants. She loves cups, shopping lists, sunglasses and the remote control. She is wearing some 9 month clothing already. She fits into 6-12 months, and still fits in most 6 month clothing. I am putting away her 3-6 month clothes. She is becoming more of a picky eater. She would eat almost any pureed food I gave her but now she makes faces and wont eat much of it if it is too tart or if she doesn't like the taste. I am hoping this is a stage and I am going to continue to keep giving a large variety of foods. She is still either sleeping through the night (12 hours) or waking up after 9-11 hours for 2 oz and then going back down for the rest of the night.
I sat her up in her crib to play with her rain forest toy and her mirror. She loved it.
