Tatum at Seven Months

Each day her smiles grows more contagious. These photos were taken December 20th when Tatum turned 7 months. My oh my time does go by. No teeth yet, but we did have our sixth month check-up (yes, I'm a month behind). Tatum has grown to 25 1/2 inches and weighs 18.5 lbs. She's about in the 60th percentile or thereabouts. She was wonderfully even tempered when it came to her immunizations during this visit. She received two shots in the right thigh and one in the left. She wailed when the inch-long needles punctured her soft skin; but was instantly soothed by my picking her up. I was prepared to provide her the ultimate pain relieving source, my breast, but she didn't even need it. Turns out me, just me, was enough.
