7 months

evi brie is now 7 months. and what, you ask yourself, is my gifted child doing now?...just kidding, by no means do i think my child is gifted, but i do think she's pretty damn cute - yes, i'm biased. anyway, she's still not crawling. while most of me is glad and in no hurry, a small part of me is anxiously awaiting this milestone. she does get up on her hands and knees and rock, although she does this mostly in her bed while waiting to be rescued. if we're in the room she see no reason to work so hard when we can just return her to butt, or exer-saucer for her. she did pull herself to a standing position in her crib yesterday using the rails (only to immediately let go and fall over).
she loves the cat and dog and is very entertained by them. the cat, chloe will not get near her when she's awake, and i have suffeciently scared the dog from getting anywhere near evi or anything that belongs to evi.
no sign of teeth yet, so we're still sleeping through the night, 11 to 12 hours! momma's loving it. (by the way, i turn 30 next weekend!! 30!!!!!)
she did have her first french fry the other day - by accident. we were eating lunch at a restaurant, and she had a fry off the plate and in her mouth before the plate hit the table. it was pretty cute. so here's some pix of evi.
love mi
