In her 7th month, Kian has grown by leaps and bounds developmentally. She has learned to pull herself up from a sitting position to a standing position using whatever is nearby...her toys, her parents, etc. Kian can even stand on her own for a few seconds at a time. She is overcoming her dislike of rolling over and will now roll over both ways and Mommy and her play the rolling over game every night before bed. Kian has learned how to wave 'hi' and loves to wave at the kitties, but not so much to strangers. She will occasionally wave 'hi' to Mom and Dad also. She is very talkative...she goes to sleep talking, wakes up talking and even talks in her sleep sometimes. However, despite all the talking, we have not learned any words yet. She is close and has said 'Mama' and 'Dada' a few times, but nothing consistently. And the best news yet...Kian has started sleeping through the night. As of the writing of this blog, we are on night #6 (hear the sounds of knocking on wood in your head).
No updates on the doctor front, we should have more news on that after she has her 9 month check-up.
Hope everyone is having a good summer and had a great 4th of July. Enjoy the pictures and make sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for a video surprise of Kian taking part in one of summer's culinary delights.
