Kiss Me, I'm Irish

...and 7 months old!
Though, few people can actually say this, the Patterson family actually is Irish. We even have a little red headed leprechaun to prove it. :) Eric's family came from Ireland four or five generations ago, and he is very proud of it. Though I, myself, haven't found any Irish decent, I guess I can claim it too right? (The closest I've found is Welsh, but I know it is very different.)

Anyway, today Hallie is seven months old! Good timing eh? I swear, months keep getting faster!

This is how Hallie has been over the last few days. She has had a huge head cold, and just hasn't felt well. Luckily today she hasn't had a fever and is wanting to play and eat, but she still has a really bad runny nose. Poor girl.

Other excitement in the last month

Hallie...

-is rolling all over the place
-LOVES sweet potatoes, but squash still isn't her thing (she'll eat it though, so we give it to her)
-is such a good eater
-When Eric took her to the doctor on Saturday she was 16 lbs. 10 oz.
-is still sleeping in the pack n play, we're waiting on her crib to come in
-I think is finally not wearing any of her 0-3 months clothes...there may still be a couple
-is becoming quite the Mommy's girl
-LOVES to be outside, and look out the window
-hates having her fingernails clipped
-still loves bath time
-loves to play with Grandma and Grandpa while I go to school
-will sit up if SHE wants too (which isn't too often), but she gets distracted by her toes
-likes to suck on her toes
-is still our little finger sucker, except since she has had this stuffy nose and can't
-doesn't want to miss anything, she will get mad if we leave her on the floor in the living room and we're in the kitchen (yes, she gets that from me)
-loves to be sung too
-loves books, and even turns the pages
-covers her head with a blanket when she sleeps
-is such a good baby

Thar's all I can think of for now, I'm sure there i s a lot more. But we sure do love our red headed seven month old!
