Our Vivi Girl turned 7 months old and it hit me that’s how old Caroline was when I started this blog. How is that possible?? Vivi is such a sweetheart of a girl. She is so smiley, looooves being in the water, is the happiest when she first wakes up, and saves her biggest grins to her big sister!  She is loving the favorite summertime activity of relaxing on the grass on a blanket, and is the perfect age for it (solidly sitting but not yet crawling). This month she got to meet Baby Dean, see the Schmiesing girls again, take her first dip in the pool, and kick her Big Sister out of her high chair–now Vivi has a literal place at the family dining table!

Here’s a snapshot of Vivi Kate at 7 months:

• She is still in size 3 diapers.
• She is wearing 9 months clothes, some even 12 months.
• She can sit up by herself and has met her pound for pound match when she met Baby Dean.
• Vivi likes to sleep on her side, with the Sleep Sheep blasting and a paci. She will sleep from 8 pm to about 7 am most days.
• She loooves all food, still has zero teeth. She sits right next to Caroline at the dinner table and loves to put her leg on the table.
• Shas gotten increasingly vocal and often screeches when she sees a bottle or food she knows is for her.
• She squeezed into the bathing suit I wore as a baby (which Caroline wore too!) for her inaugural pool dip!

Happy 7 months, Vivi Kate!
