As Berry Grows

Getting prettier everyday

Arden is 7 months now. She is just so sweet. She weighs 15 lbs, 12 oz. and is almost 26 inches long. Shes still petite for her age but is growing at a good rate. She is starting to move around even more. Although she isnt quite crawling yet, she definitely gets around. Auntie C tries to force her to crawl!! It's kind of funny. She's almost there though. She still has NO TEETH! I think they may be on their way though because she has not had a good appetite lately and has been more cranky than usual.

Arden has become quite the giggle bunny. She laughs at everything! Sometimes just someone entering the room is enough to send her into hysterical laughter! She is still talking a lot. She is actually finally saying actual word like sounds rather than just screeches. She now says "ba ba ba". I think "ba" means a lot of things since it is the only word in her vocabulary! LOL
Here are a few recent pictures of her.

I know... I've left you hanging!

Well Arden just turned 7 months old on the 11th!!! I can't believe how quickly time has flown. She is doing so much now. She is sitting up and eataing solid foods. She is finally trying to crawl. She loves standing and stretching her legs. I speak to her in Spanish occasionally (I really should do it more). She gives me kisses when I ask in both English and Spanish (if she is in the mood). Arden really is a great baby. She is so happy all the time and a joy to be around. Her name truly fits her. Arden meaning "burning with enthusiasm" is really fitting. She is so excited about life just as I hoped she would be!

She laughs and smiles all te time. And she is so curious about everything. Auntie C always tries to make her crawl and be mobile, but Arden and I have to remind her that she is a thinking baby more than she is a mover!! We recently went to Toronto on a looooong road trip. Arden did really well in the car considering it was a 12 hour ride (including the stops for the baby and gas). Arden got a little spoiled on that trip because I had her in the carrier the whole weekend, so now she wants to be held all the time! She is also in that phase where all she wants is mommy. She cries for me when I leave the room and even if I sit to far away from her. I can't complain. I love that she loves me!

Here are some pictures of her at 6 months. Enjoy them!
