7 months old

Audrey really needs to slow down. :) She's 7 months old, weighs 15 pounds, and is 26 inches tall. She has decided that her swing and bouncy chair are pretty boring. Audrey enjoys being on the floor playing with her toys. She still loves being outdoors. She gets so excited when I wheel the stroller to the front hall and open the door. Her first tooth has finally broken through, but it still has a way to go. It's her bottom, right tooth. Audrey loves cheerios, rice cereal, water, and tolerates baby food. She does this excited little laugh when I pull out the boppy or my nursing cover-up, so she still loves to nurse. She's doing 4-hour stretches between nursing during the day - wahoo! So, I have a bit more freedom. :) Audrey is doing better in the sleep department. She usually goes to sleep somewhere between 8:30-9:00, then usually wakes up for a feeding around 5-5:30, and then wakes up for the day somewhere between 8-9. A 7-hour stretch of sleep is so nice!!! :) During the day she's down to two naps; the length of the naps varies. Sometimes she'll take a 2-hour morning nap and then a short 45-minute afternoon nap; other times she'll take two 1-1/2 hour naps a day. She likes to keep us guessing! Audrey loves water - going to the pool or splashing away in the bathtub. She doesn't mind getting dressed in the morning, but at night she screams through the process of getting dressed. I guess she's tired at the point and just wants it over with. Audrey isn't showing any signs of wanting to crawl, which I am totally fine with. :) She has started responding to us when we call her by name. We tried to get some pictures of her today by some flowers. The best one is below - we didn't have much luck. But Andy got a cute one of her in her stroller just smiling away.
And just like her sister, Audrey can turn it on and off pretty quickly:
