Charlotte 7 months

 Seven months was a big milestone month for Miss Charlotte Grace!!  
Her first two teeth popped through this month and she looks as cute as can be with those bottom teeth!  They didn't seem to bother her too bad although one night she seemed to be up a little bit more than normal but they didn't affect her mood during the day at all.  The other major milestone is that she begun army crawling this month!!!! April 1st to be exact so right before she hit the 7 month mark.  She was a rolling machine up to that point and could very easily get to one side of the room to the other quickly and efficiently but is now even faster that she has mastered the low crawl.  We were all so proud of her!  She has also really found her voice this month.  She is a babbling queen with lots of "ma ma mad, ga ga gas and da da das" and is LOUD!!!  She definitely wants to be heard and already seems to undestand that she needs to compete with her older 3 siblings for attention and to do so she must be heard!!
Rolling around on March 12th
Practicing the army crawl!
 Loving those piggy toes!  March 14th
 So serious while waiting for her meal!  
 She is everywhere now!!!  She loves to hang out in this spot where the carpet meets the tile and pick at the carpet and put it in her mouth!!!  Yes, EVERYTHING goes in her mouth!
March 24th
 
  She can get anywhere these days!!  (As a sidenote, I cringe looking at this picture since this was prior to the installing our shoe racks a few weeks ago!  I'm not sure how we've lived in this house for over a year with the shoes being in such a disarray, but am so thankful we have some order to them now!)

 Happy girl hanging out on March 25th
 I'm pretty sure this was one of the last times that I wore her in the k'tan.  She is much more comfortable in the ergo these days...those cheeks, themselves, must be at least 10 pounds! 
 One night after baths we were all hanging out in our bedroom and then one by one we all walked out to the kitchen.  Once I realized that we were all in the kitchen I walked back to our room to check on Charlotte and she had rolled out of the bedroom and was hanging out in the hallway with this look on her face that appeared for her to be saying, "Hey guys, you left me in there!!"  She was too cute and the kids loved the idea that she was looking for everyone!!  
 Too cute and too cool on March 29th.  
 She continues to really enjoy her meals!!  So far we haven't found a food that she won't eat!
March 30th
 She does such a good job being carted around everywhere and just going with the flow!  
Having too much fun at soccer practice  on the afternoon of March 31st. 
 Here is her sweet photo shoot from April 3rd, on her 7 month birthday!  She continues to be such a happy, extremely social baby.  Most nights she sleeps from 7:30ish until 4ish and then goes back down until 6:30ish.  Her naps still vary based on our daily schedule but she is pretty consistent about getting 2 naps in a day, just location and length vary! She grabs, grabs, grabs everything from hair to food to anything that is within arm's reach of her.  We just love her so much and she is such a joy to our days!
