Though I still have not even posted pictures from Larkyn's 7th month, I thought I would start with the most recent adventures she is taking on and work backward:)
Larkyn is changing more and more each day. She is currently crawling on all 4's--she's graduated from the "army crawl/scoot". She loves to get into anything and everything! Once she started scooting and crawling she began pulling herself up on anything sturdy enough to hold her, including the rocking ottoman! She enjoys pulling up to stand at her learning table to learn her letters, colors and numbers.
Larkyn also had her first ear infection on the 8th. She wasn't sleeping or going to sleep very well, which was not very typical for her. Monday morning we were up from midnight until 5:30 AM off and on. Every time I put her down to sleep she would scream, but she was fine sleeping in my arms. We ended up sleeping from 5:30 until 6:30 AM in the recliner together. We took her into the doctor that morning and sure enough, her ears were infected! That afternoon we spent more time in the recliner napping and that night she slept all through the night in her own bed after antibiotics kicked in! Whether it was just the ear infection, the time change with DST, or cutting another tooth...we will never know!
Speaking of teeth, Larkyn now has six! Within the last ten days she has cut three more. When she smiles you can see her bottom two teeth and one and a half:) top teeth. The two top I-teeth (next to the "big bucks") have cut through and are making their way down!
Some of Larkyn's favorites include:
Foods--Peaches, peach/apple sauce, oatmeal
Books--Colors, Who Do You Love?, Animals Touch and Feel (anything with things to touch and feel!)
Toys--red bouncy ball (loves to play catch with Daddy!), white beach ball (loves to chase it all over the house!), blankie elephant, and V-Tech walker (not walking with it, but likes all of the noises) Basically anything she can hold and that makes noise!
Places in the house--the fireplace, under the end table, under stools and kitchen table/chairs
Some of Larkyn's newest developments include:
*Crawling
*Pushing herself up to sitting position--she does this a lot! She is also doing it in her bed after waking up in the morning and will position herself toward the video monitor and wave to us! It is the cutest and funniest thing!
*Downward Dog Yoga position (Larkyn will push herself up in the middle of the carpet with her feet and hands on the ground and her butt up in the air—kind of like an upside down V!)
*Waving buh-bye
*Pulling herself up to stand
*Walking with adult hands (not cruising yet!)

*Says "hey" and "hi"...still working on Dada and Mama!
Larkyn LOVES playing catch with her red ball...
Favorite spot--crawling underneath the end table from the living room to kitchen...
Afternoon nap with an ear infection...
"I'm 8 months old today and proud of it!"
"I'm pretty happy today! I'm also getting use to Mama taking photos of me...I now pose!"
"Cheese!"
"Can you see my pearly whites?"
Larkyn measured in at a rough estimate of 28 inches!
