Jazzy Stones IX

At 7 months and 8 days, Jasmine Olivia is evidently not willing to stay a baby for much longer. Babygirl is crawling, cruising, pulling up, holding her own bottle, and starting to vocalize word-like sounds. The only thing left is walking... and we've got bets going as to if she'll be doing that by Christmas, New Year's Eve, or neither. She has also sustained her first major bruise, and it's a doosey: A shiny black-eye that makes her look like an extra from the movie Gangs of New York.

She's still breast-fed, but has also moved up to big-people status in that (when things are not too hectic around here) she gets 3 solid meals a day: oatmeal, and homemade sweet potatoes & pumpkin. And yes... we've still got pumpkin left. Hey, it was a big pumpkin.

In the "miscellaneous" category, every kid has got their quirks, and at this stage hers is this facial expression she does about 4 times every 7 minutes. I call it "smell your face", but whatever you call it, it's really funny. Click here to see for yourself. Otherwise, things are going well. Still no teeth. But sleeping through the night with no feedings (finally!!!!!!!). She's on a 9 pm to 7 am sleep schedule with a 50/50 shot at going back to sleep after eating at 7. Two naps a day if we're lucky. And a mohawk that would make Mr. T proud.
