Someone advised me yesterday to write everything down that I could about Kellyn because I will forget. Time seems to be flying by and my memory gets worse and worse. So, before I forget, I wanted to write yet another bulleted list of things about Kellyn at 7 1/2 months. Probably boring if you're not her parents or grandparents. Maybe boring even then, but it's for journaling purposes and second child reference.

• She has been sitting up by herself since she was about five months old.
• She started solids when she was six months old. We think her favorite food so far is avacado. We think that because she made the least disgusted face when she tried it the first time. She eats some everyday, usually with some brown rice. Other foods she's tried are banana, sweet potato, acorn squash, applesauce, mangoes, and oatmeal.
• She has started the "cheeser" smile and does it more and more everyday. We hope her face doesn't get stuck like that.
• She loves to take baths and insists on trying to grab the faucet, the drain, and the cup I'm using to rinse her off, rather than playing with any toys.
• Speaking of toys, she generally prefers whatever she is not supposed to be playing with.
• Her favorite toys are socks: her own, mine, Jared's, or anybody's socks really.
• Her favorite song is "Five Little Monkeys Jumpin' on the Bed." Whenever she is sad, as soon as I sing that song, she quits crying and gets really happy. I sing it everday after bath time. She always gets sad when bath time is over and it's time for clothes again. (Don't we all...)
• She thinks her Daddy is the funniest guy in the world.
• She is now using her thumb and index finger for EVERYTHING. Even when she's playing with a ball, she just touches it with those two fingers.
• She sticks her tongue out when she is concentrating--which is quite often.
• She goes to bed at 7 and gets up at 7. But she also gets up once or twice in between still. We are working on that.
• She is on the verge of crawling but just hasn't quite figured it out yet.
• She is adorable and we love her! But that probably goes with saying.
