Almost 7 months old!?!

This is the last week I will be adding pictures to the 6th month album! How is my baby girl already 7 months?? (She will turn 7 months tomorrow, the 10th). I wish she had baby wellness checkups every month so I could get her stats but her next one isn't until 9 months. She is growing like a little weed is all I know! "That baby doesn't miss a meal does she?", "Look at those thighs", "She looks like a cabbage patch baby"...just a few comments I get about my little chubbster. And honestly, what good mother lets their infant miss a meal anyway??
The past two days I have done a class on base for marine wives and Alyssa has been in the nursery from 9-1 and has done wonderfully. I was worried because I did a trial gym membership where I left her in the nursery and she screamed (which she never does) and just hated it. It must have just been the caretakers there or the place that made her uncomfortable because she liked another gym nursery I also did a trial at. She loved playing with the other kids at the nursery, although so much that she didn't get her normal 9 am nap until 1 pm when we left, oh well. I try to keep her naps on a schedule when I can but I also want her to be flexible.
I am excited for Alyssa's first easter. We have a neighborhood easter egg hunt saturday where she will get her picture taken with the easter bunny :). I doubt she'll do much hunting for eggs but it will still be fun to go and meet some neighbors since we still haven't gotten to know many. Hopefully now that its getting nicer out we will see more people out and about to meet. I need to find Alyssa some more playtime buddies.
House update...its SO close! We just have to go back room to room and do some little things. Fix a few patches that we though looked good but after painting we realized we need to fix, change out some switches/faceplates, fill in some nail holes in quarterround, paint the stair railings, and put a fresh coat of white paint on all of the doors in the house. I also have to still decorate most of the rooms in the house and put up/make some new curtains to match. We are on the home stretch...finally! Knowing the slow progress though it still won't be finished for another month. Especially now that its getting nice out, we are at the playground a lot, alyssa loves the swings and just the outdoors in general. And then we are going to start on the outside, but just the normal amount of yard work needs to be done considering none has been done all winter.
I will post pictures of before/after when we can finally take afters!

Linds- I cant believe Alyssa is two weeks younger than Ella. So funny! The pics were great and I loved hearing about the house. You're almost finished- then you can really enjoy Alyssa and your new house! xo
