Naomi, here we are, closer to being a one year old, than being born. You are 7 months old today! You are such a joyful, sweet, lovely baby! Here's what you've been doing:
- You are eating like a champ! It was like a switch was flipped! You like sweet potatoes, white potatoes, bananas, applesauce, scrambled eggs, and the little bits of other things we give you like pancakes and ice cream :)

| Meeting great-Grandpa in IA |
- You met your great-grandparents in Cedar Rapids, IA! It was your first long-ish car ride and it wasn't too bad. You also got to meet a little more of Daddy's side of the family and see Grandma and Marty again! It was a nice little trip.

| Bubba loves helping with you so very much! |
- You sleep great in your pack-n-play, although you're about grown out of the bassinet! So we have a sheet down on the mattress so you can start sleeping down below. You only wake up a couple times a night, typically at 4 am and 6 am right now. You take a few good naps each day and still enjoy sleeping in the wrap, especially on Sunday morning.
- You've started copying us -- rolling your head to the side, especially in the high chair, to watch us do the same. You also stick out your tongue when we do it as well. You think it's funny to show your tongue and sometimes blow raspberries.
- You like to chew on your toes! And your spoons. And the fingers of people who are holding you.

| Mother's Day 2018 |
- We got out the jumper this month and you played in the one (below) at Mimi's house. Your legs are very strong and you hold your head up for long periods of time now! You're not quite sitting on your own, but I'm sure you will be soon. You love to be held and watch what's happening around you. You like to pat the people who hold you and rub our faces. You are rolling everywhere these days! You've fallen off the bed once, so I consider you mobile now. It has to happen to everyone right?! You enjoy watching Marshall (he loves licking your feet!) and Dora as they walk around us.
- You laugh so hard when I tickle you on the chest. And under your chin is still a good spot!

| Your 6 month picture turned out so sweet! |
- At your 6 month check-up, you had doubled your birth weight! The doctor and I were very happy! I've never had a baby with chunky legs, and it makes me very happy to have you healthy and thriving.
Naomi Irene, your smile is beautiful and your eyes seem to sparkle when you smile. You are very interested in the world around you -- your family, toys, leaves, animals, etc. You seem to be adjusting to the very hot and humid summer here in MO. I think it's time to put away all the 3 month clothes I keep trying to squeeze you into. You're wearing mostly 6 month clothes now, so I just need to get them put away so they're no longer an option. We love having you as part of our family and look forward to watching you grow and change and be you! Love, Mommy
