7.5 months old

Matisse is really moving around alot (still inchworming - not yet coordinated crawling), and can easily go back and forth between crawling and sitting up.  When she has woken up to eat in the middle of the night recently, I have found her crawling around her crib!  Her new thing the last few days has been to growl (see the video below).

I can inchworm with the best of them!

Matisse turned 7 months old over the weekend!  We have lots of good news to report - she is scooting around really well and has finally taken an interest in eating solid foods over the last few days.  But best of all, as of today, we found out that Matisse's hips look good and she can finally stop wearing her harness!  She has been wearing it since she was about 2.5 months old (most recently only at night), and we are so happy to finally be done with the harness.

6.5 months old!

Matisse is getting bigger all the time - she is almost 20 lbs now!  She is babbling a bit now, and can crawl (sort of).  We still have never seen her roll over - she just skipped that and has moved on to trying to crawl.
