7 months

It's a couple weeks in to Audrey's 7th month and it's amazing how much she has grown!  Not sure how accurate the scale is when you weigh yourself and then hold the baby and subtract the difference, but if it's close then she weighs 15lb 6oz as of this past weekend.  We put a yard stick next to her and this is what we found:

  I believe that she got blessed with the fabulous Lynch genetics because she eats like a horse and still stays skinny!  Trust me Audrey...it will pay off later!  This "fat girl in a skinny girl's body" downs an ENTIRE banana with 4 scoops of oatmeal each morning and eats 4oz of food for lunch and dinner.  She now gets a veggie and a fruit at each sitting.  She can down 8oz of boobie juice and we have now just discovered the bottom of one of our deep freezers.  It still has the side panel to go and another deep freezer stocked to the brim with boobie juice!  I think she'll be set beyond her 1st birthday (go mommy!!!) Audrey is now wanting to be Ms. Independent and it is a task to even change her diaper.  She wants to roll over and see the world.  Fun for her...not for mom and dad.  She still loves to walk with assistance and is doing better at holding onto the couch and standing for .2 seconds without tipping.  She is attempting a crawling maneuver where she shoves her butt in the air and tries to push, but her arms and legs don't work at the same time.  But hey, it's progress, right?  She now sits up to play and we just removed her "butt bump" in her bathtub so she had her first official big girl bath in her little girl tub!  She can say things like ga, ba, ma, various raspberries and fart noises, squealing and screeching and today we got 1 da from her.  We still don't see any signs of teeth, but she is drooling like crazy and has had a runny nose and cough (which may be from teething or her continued bout with sickness/allergies).  We are so proud of all her milestones and it's wild to think that in just a few short months we will be celebrating her 1st birthday!  We love you Ms. Rayne!
