A day in the life of a 7 month old

As I have mentioned before, this blog is helping me to record Ada's first year of life because I am not so good as keeping up with her baby book. I plan to eventually sit down and transfer info. from here into her baby book, but until then, I will continue to keep a record on here, for all the world to see.

On that note, I thought today was a day worth noting. Ada is going through a stage where she easily becomes bored. She had already had two semi-succesful naps, we had been on a run/walk (in a continued attempt to train for the half-marathon), and I desperately needed to clean up my bedroom (it has not really been straight since we moved in). Afternoons are our longest stretch because there isn't much for Ada to do, so I decided that she would practice sitting up while I cleaned the room. And she did so well!!! This is the first time that I have been able to just let her sit in the room and play, so I feel like this is a sort of milestone. And of course I documented the milestone with pictures. Enjoy.

Okay, so the first picture was actually taken last night, and I realize the quality of the pic. is not so good, but I had to post it anyway. Please note the fact that the entire front of Ada's onesie is soaking wet. This was caused by drool. Drool only. If she doesn't cut a tooth soon, I think she may drown in her own spit. Right after the picture was taken, I gave her a much needed bath. What the picture doesn't show is the squash baby food that is all down the front of her shirt and under her chin. She didn't seem to be bothered by the mess. She was as happy as ever despite her filth. (The picture is blurry because Ada can't stop moving. She won't stand still these days.)

And today...

There she sits, with her pile of toys that I thought would keep her busy for a while. And she is playing...playing...playing...and she topples over...and she continues to play. I let her play on her stomach for a while, hoping it would encourage her to crawl, and then I sat her back up, and we started the routine all over again.

Finally, because her shirt was once again soaking wet, I changed her into her precious pink auburn onesie that Laura Leary gave to Ada. Laura said she wanted to make sure that everyone knew that Ada was both an Auburn fan and a girl--thanks, Laura!! The Auburn logo is in the bottom left corner of the onesie, and I had to get a picture of the football on the back. So cute.
