What have you been up to?
Seven months was a difficult one for you. You continue to not like anything or anyone and your attachment to mom has become even stronger (which I didn't even think was possible). You don't allow me to walk out of the room and if anyone even speaks to you, you begin crying and hold on to me for dear life. I find myself apologizing to everyone that says hello and using the phrase "it's not you, it's her" several times a day. If I walk out of the your sight, you scream, but as soon as I am back in the room you turn it off. Your dad is both impressed and frustrated with how quickly your attitude can change.
Thankfully, you are still in love with your brother. You laugh at everything he does, but he is the only one who can earn your laughter. You really make him feel special and he tells every store cashier how you like him the best.
You have absolutely no motivation to crawl. If something is out of reach, you just let it go and play with something closer by. You eat really well and we have started you on some table/finger foods. Even when your screaming, you will still stuff your face with food.
You are still struggling with sleep. We have been letting you cry it out, but you scream for a really long time. You wake up crying a few times a night when you realize that I am not by your side.
As long as you are attached to my hip, you are perfectly content with life.
Here's to hoping for an easier 8 months :)
