Seven and A Half Months

Amy Brown

Cordelia is seven and a half months, and she is...

Sleeping in her own bed all night.
Eating vegetables, fruit, cereals, milk products, and some meat.
Chewing! So I can give her little pieces of toast and stuff and she doesn't gag. Hooray! Table food!
Pulling herself up to standing (and then falling over)...
...but not crawling properly.
Although she does get around pretty well doing the worm.
Still really charming and smiley, but...
...showing some separation anxiety. Whenever a stranger stops to talk to her she gets this slightly worried (but friendly) expression and looks at me to make sure everything is okay.
19 pounds -- still large for her age, but well-proportioned.
Muscular and strong.
