7 months old!

My baby is 7 months old now.  I love my little Livvy!  It has been so fun to watch the other kids with her.  They all want to hold her and love her and entertain her. 
She seems so much smaller than my other babies.  Sometimes it feels like I should know what I am doing because she is my fourth, but I don't!  Once again I am realizing how different they, we, all are! 
She likes me to hold her at all times if possible and doesn't like to eat baby food!  She has no interest in rice cereal, bottles, or anything mashed up that a baby would like!  She does however like to nurse.  Well, sometimes!  Nate did feed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich one day and she liked that.  He forgot the no peanut butter rule!  She sometimes likes a few bites of my cereal- my sandwich, or whatever else I am eating. 
She loves to laugh at her sister and brothers and hates when Chewy gets near her.  He likes to take whatever she is playing with. 
She still has an infected belly button.  The Dr.'s don't know why or what it is, but recommend we 'just watch it!'  We have been watching it since she was born! 
She has learned to reach for me and it I have to admit I love that she loves me so much.  It is as if she can't get enough of me at times!  If Nate is holder her, she watches my every move. 
She loves bath time!  She starts smiling and giggling when I set her near the bath to get it all ready. 
She makes the cutest baby sounds when she wakes up from her naps and is waiting for me to rescue her.  She does have a cry just like Natalie!  Maybe even worse!  It is like a growl almost. 

I am grateful to have my baby girl and look forward to watching her learn and grow!

She is just a doll! My youngest just liked to nurse for a long time.

She is such a pretty girl!
I didn't know about her belly button. My little Addie had that when she was little too. It took FOREVER for her cord to fall off and then after that it was always leaking stuff. When it stopped leaking it would just get stuck closed all the time. I took her to a specialist to see if it was a problem but he just said she had a really deep belly button. Why does weird stuff like that happen! Anyway, it finally went normal.
