In her 7th month, Gabi has mastered the art of sitting up, tried fruits and vegetables for the first time, met lots and lots of new baby friends, and started to give some amazing kisses!
When on her stomach, she has started some "pre-crawling" strategies as she twists herself using her arms. I am making a prediction that she'll be closer to crawling this time next month. (I just want her to let me get semi-settled into the new house before she decides to start moving on me. We'll be in our new home next week! Shanah Tovah! It's amazing to realize this is THE house that Gabi really will grow up in.)

 Now that we're sitting up and SO big, we've started facing forward in a big girl stroller! Gabi loves being able to look around and see all the sights! |  Mommy and Gabi at one of our meetups |
This month, in addition to trying the fantastic store-bought pureed baby foods, we have given her a couple of real fruits for her to hold, munch on, and check out. She was really interested in sucking on the watermelon. The banana was slippery.

 All that watermelon really got this baby tuckered out. |

And the monthly photo shoot that you've come to know, (hopefully) love, and (probably) expect. They're getting more difficult to take now that she wants everything in her mouth, but I got it! I also captured some shots to show all of Gabi's fans her new favorite face to make with her tongue out (...not as challenging).

 The destruction of the sign... |
 When the sign is gone, the blanket is the only thing left to play with. Happy 7 months to me! |
And as always - the pitiful kittens:
