seven.

{thanks for the fancy dress, grandma!!}

at seven months, serena:

has decided to only eat pears, applesauce, and cereal. she refuses all vegetables and most fruits. {any suggestions would be appreciated! we have tried mixing 1 tsp of veggies with 1/4 cup cereal and she refuses that too!}

sits up by herself. hooray! she will play on the floor for quite a long time.... until she gets herself in some random position that she doesn't like.

loves playing with boxes, bags, ribbon, cell phones, shoes, tupperware, measuring cups & spoons, etc. basically anything that isn't a toy.

goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up around 7am.

has the cutest giggle ever. too bad she doesn't do it very often! mostly she does her panting thing when she's happy or excited.

HATES it when you put her arms through her sleeves, or when you take her shirt off, or when you have to move her arms to put her in the carseat.

claps when we say "yaaaaay!" or when she sees someone else clapping.

makes all kinds of noises. smacks her lips. if she has a toy, she'll hold it in her mouth and shake her head to do the "ba ba ba ba ba ba" noises. she tries to sing when i do. she just makes a long "ahhhhh" sound until i stop. i love it!

still shows no signs of crawling or even interest in being on her tummy EVER. i think she'll be a scooter.

kicks her socks and shoes off the instant we put them on her.

seriously LOVES mickey mouse. she gets so so excited when mickey mouse clubhouse starts. and she's beginning to love charlie and lola {woohoo!}. she mostly loves the song at the beginning and the way lola giggles.

loves playing with her cousins {or letting them entertain her!}.

likes to grab your face, ears, nose or hair and pull your face right up next to hers and attempt to eat it. she's bitten my nose a couple of times. it hurts!

makes us laugh and smile all the time. we love her like crazy.
