What a fast 7 months this has been. Zoe turned 7 months yesterday and it is amazing. She is absolutely trucking down the hallways and from room to room crawling! She also gets some serious air in her little jumper that hangs in the doorway. Kyle cranked up the height in it so just her toes touch the floor when she is stationary. This causes her to do some wicked jumping. I laugh out loud watching her do it. Last night, I put her down on the floor in her room and walked to the kitchen to make up some bottles for her ( I curse and bless Nutramigen at the same time), I turned to get something from another cabinet and bumped into her on the floor, in the kitchen. Couldnâ??t have been more than 2 minutes fro her to get from her room to my location. Amazing. Childproofing to commence immediately! When I picked her up from the tile floor, her outfit looked like a used up Swiffer, complete with macaroni, dog hair, and some cereal flakes. Soon I will figure out how to get her to cut the grass while she crawls! Her visible inquisitiveness is really, realty neat. When she picks things up, she analyzes them, turning them over and checking them out from all sides. All with a really neat look of wonderment in her eyes.

Letâ??s talk about the word NO. Momma and I have started to use this word with her when she gets into things like her wastepaper basket and her nightlight and especially when she tries to roll over when we are trying to change her. Zoeâ??s reactions are quite amusing and frustrating at the same time. After you utter the word, she looks at as if you just told her the formula to calculate wattage, then goes about doing exactly what she was doing before you bothered her with your non-sense.
