I sure am having a hard time updating this blog! When 7 pm rolls around and I find myself with some free time, the only things I can think about are lounging on the couch and... well, that's about it. Ben has been super busy with work-related shenanigans and music gigs, so the blog has been the last thing on our minds. Despite my lackadaisical ways, Scarlett continues to grow grow grow and is now 7 months old! She is sitting unsuppported like a champ, devouring mass amounts of pureed food (though we're about to ditch that and transition to finger foods...), desperately trying to crawl, and beginning to babble (with her favorite utterance being "ya ya ya ya"). Scarlett spends the majority of her waking hours on all fours rocking back and forth while longingly staring at her feline friends. Blixa and Lucy, you better enjoy your last few weeks (or days) of peace because this little lady will not rest until your glorious fur is in her sticky little fists! Although Scarlett can roll and scoot to just about any shiny object she so desires, her difficulty crawling has caused extreme frustration, leading to loud squawks that can only be described as velociraptor-esque (hence her nickname at the babysitter's: v-rap). I turn my head for a second and she has wiggled over to the power cords, scooted under the chair, or attempted to dive headfirst off of her changing pad. Exciting times.
