7 1/2 month update

Naomi passed the 7 month mark almost two weeks ago and has all kinds of fun new things she is doing. Almost everytime I go into pick her up from a nap, she is on her hands and knees. That means she's about to start crawling everywhere, and it also means we dropped her crib mattress down a level so she can't get some momentum and take a plunge over the side.

Today Naomi tried some baby banana food. In celebration of adding bananas to the menu, I sang the Tarzan of the Apes song (I like bananas, coconut, and grapes, etc.). She giggled all the way through the meal and especially liked the verses where it gets really quiet and then ends loudly.


Here are a couple fun pictures. In the first, Naomi is munching on Cookie Monster's eyeballs (his arms and legs all have magents in them, and Naomi enjoys pulling him off the fridge).





And here's one of Naomi having fun on a rocking horse our neighbors loaned to us.














Giggles before bedtime: following the tradition of Chilton/Jones women, Naomi turns into a nutcase in the evening and giggles at things that really aren't that funny. (Oops, just kidding, Matt - you are funny!)
