7 Months

Our sweet little MaeMae is now on the downward slide to turning 1. :(  7 months old, and she's getting so cute & so fun.  We're loving every second of this sweet little girl.  She is such a breath of fresh air.  Full of smiles and now a toothy smile!  Malin's first tooth cut when Mommy & Daddy were gone on our anniversary weekend and she was at Nanie & Opie's for her first nights away.  (of course!)  Nana thought it was a cold but when I picked her up, I noticed the sharp corner poking out.  2 days later she cut the 2nd bottom tooth.  I love her little grin now, and we sure can get some amazing laughs out of her.

Malin is a fantastic eater, in fact, she's been eating some of Avery's meals that she refuses to eat!  The only time she ever gets upset is if she's hungry of you've just pulled something out of her mouth.  She adores her big sister, and even though Avery plays full on tackle with her (pushing her over and tackling her) she loves it and thinks big sis is the coolest thing ever. 

Big sis has taught her some naughty tricks too, like screaming at the top of her lungs, just for fun.  (Just recently Malin did this in a dressing room.  So loud.  Avery says "holy sh!t."  Ooops, potty mouth.)  She loves to stand up, her favorite spot is on the couch, looking out the window.  She's made moves toward crawling but for now just skoots herself around in a circle.  She has completely mastered sitting up... well, until Avery comes charging at her.

We have fallen madly in love with this amazing baby. 

 My little thumb sucker.
