Ella is SEVEN months!

Look below to see my teeth! I never show these to people in person- haha

Yikes- This is quite a closeup!

It has been 7 months since we met Baby Ella. Impossible! Just when we think she can't get any sweeter.....well, all you parents can relate to this!! She officially has 5 teeth that have come through her gums! She now has 3 on top and has had her two on the bottom for some time. Ella is now drinking (water) out of a regular cup- with help of course. Now when she sees us drink something she thinks she needs a sip! Her favorite food is her oatmeal. I just introduced her to fruits this week. I was afraid she would have a sweet tooth (like me) and not go back to veggies, but so far so good.
She has really taken an interest towards mechanical objects...light switches, thermostats, wires. It's funny when she goes past the thermostat. She reaches out for it and makes noise. Same thing with light switches sometimes. Oh and the wires (her favorite)....she started grabbing for the USB cords on the computer desk when we were sitting here and now she is obsessed with them when she sits on my lap at the computer.
The only thing she likes more than the wire is her youtube music videos. She has a few favorite groups and songs already. She LOVES the Velvet Underground (Pale Blue Eyes), anything AC/DC (I was on an AC DC kick when she was in my womb-no pun intended), Elvis (Suspicious Minds in particular), anything Greenday, Yummy Yummy by Ohio Express, Norah Jones (the cute video clip where Norah sings with Elmo), Janis Joplin's Bobby McGee (believe it or not), a little Neil Diamond and of course, Wilco. I took video of her shaking her pink maraca this week. It is quite funny because she giggles when she shakes it. Mike and I swear she has rhythm- her little foot goes crazy sometimes when she listens to music. haha! We are definitely take Aunt Dolly's advice and introduce her to an instrument early. :)

There is so much to look forward to this week. We are excited. This Wednesday is the arrival of our beloved friend, Bardot (from California)!!! She is coming for a short visit. We all can't wait to see her again. Stay tuned!
