You have three teeth now! You have two lower and now one upper tooth. I'm sure your next upper tooth will soon arrive since your bottom teeth came within a week of each other. You already "chew" your food with your gums, so having teeth will only change what you eat - definitely not how much you eat!
Your strength grows every day. Your balance is amazing. In the past couple of days, you've started taking steps when I hold you up. Before that you didn't quite know what to do - usually ending up in you dragging your feet if I leaned you forward a bit. And you're only seven and a half months old!
You and I went to Grandma Judy's house for the day on Monday, Labor Day. You did pretty well, but you never took your afternoon nap. So by the time it was bedtime, you were extremely overtired and had your first official meltdown. Wow! I'd only seen you tear up once before, but this time the tears were rolling down your cheeks, face all red, screaming your head off. I was scrambling to get everything in the car and Grandma and Grandpa took turns holding you and you only screamed louder. You poor thing! Once I could hold you again, you stopped crying. You had cried so hard, though, that you couldn't stop right away. The good news was that you fell right to sleep once the car started moving! Your new tooth showed up the next morning, so I'm sure that had something to do with it, too. I hope the rest of your teeth take it a bit easier on you!
I can always tell when something is wrong because most of the time you're pretty easy going and happy. It breaks my heart when something is bothering you.
It's getting cooler outside. Fall is coming, then snow!
