I am Seven Months Old and if you

put something on my head, I have figured out how to pull it off instead of just kicking and flailing!

Angela is so so very close to crawling. She is surprisingly quite mobile even without crawling, through a combination of getting into a crawl position and then efficiently plopping her bum back into a seated position without toppling over, she makes her way around the floor.                                                                                             I don't know quite what it is, but her sleep habits have actually gotten worse. A six hour stretch of sleep used to be normal, and then we were getting closer to 7-8 hours of sleep. Now it seems 4 hours is the longest she will go. And then on top of it, sometimes it's hard to get her to sleep in her crib, the second we try to lie her down, she wakes up and starts crying. So lately, I've been putting her back in the bed with us because she'll sleep lying next to me. Forget her falling asleep on her own, that has not happened for a long time.

She's been rather cranky this past week and I haven't pushed the solid foods too much because I didn't think she was in the right mood for it, and on top of it I was tired from her crankiness and just didn't have the energy to try. However, the past couple of days she's been happier and is doing a good job with the rice cereal and even accepted some mixed with banana,which initially she gave an "BLECHK" face but then was eager for it.
