7 months!

Jadyn turned 7 months old on Saturday. What a difference just a week makes! In the past week she has begun scooting forward with the same pace and deliberateness as she scoots in any other direction, and "mamamamama" is on hiatus as she now chants "dadadadada" several times a day. She is also saying "umbaba" and we're not sure what this means but it is cute. We also transitioned to giving her solid food twice a day and eliminating the "dream feed" right when we go to bed. She responded very well to this change, sleeping from 8.30-ish to 6.00-ish several nights in a row. Yahoo for Mommy and Daddy!

Another big milestone -- Jenny had an overnight retreat with her colleagues in the Science Division over in Leavenworth, and Jeff and Jadyn held down the fort at home. Day care kept Jadyn occupied during the day, and everyone survived the disruption.

Here are some photos taken this week, in the bathtub with rubber ducks, hanging out with the neighbors next door on a beautiful afternoon, and exploring on the kitchen floor one evening. The froggy chair has become a great toy to pull on and scoot underneath, rather than sit in. Life is changing everyday around here!
