Piper – 7 months

Piper turned 7 months on July 4th. Still smiley and happy, she continues to grow and develop. She’s giving us such joy.

She still doesn’t take a bottle so Henry and I are spending a lot of quality time with her on our dates!

And here she is with me at the dentist.

She’s tagged along to plenty of swim team practices and meets.

She even visited Niagara Falls and Chicago!

Probably the biggest development this month is that Piper is sitting up. I was starting to feel bad that she wasn’t sitting up yet and even mentioned it to a few people (whisper – Piper isn’t sitting up yet and she’s almost 7 months – gasp!)  I resolved to work on it…. the first time I plopped her down she was a little wobbly but just sat and looked at me. After 3 days she was a pro…. I guess I waited a little long to have her start trying!  Or better yet – I waited just long enough that I didn’t have to prop her up on pillows and set her back up every 5 minutes!  Anywho – – she’s sitting up now. This is her about the first time she sat up. Not kidding.
