Seven Month Update

I can't believe the summer is winding down! I am not ready for the cold winter, but I am ready for cooler weather and fall clothes!
Zoey is growing like a weed and has turned into quite the chunk the last few months. Some things about Zoey at 7 Months:
-Recognizes her NAME!
-No longer has a mullet- she pulled it out herself! She pulls her hair while she eats (which gets food everywhere) and you can hear her hair ripping out. She smiles when she does it- should I be concerned?
-Loves her veggies (green beans are her favorite!) and also loves oatmeal
-Hates the flavored puff snacks for Babies
-Has started to reach for things and also for Me and Jed. I love when I come in a room and she reaches for me to be picked up
-motorboats with her mouth ALL DAY LONG. I don't know who taught her this lovely trick but it is cute (except for the spit that goes everywhere)
-has ADD when I try to feed her. She gets distracted by everything when she eats. She can be in a room with nothing going on and she will be distracted by the carpet
-smacks her lips together if I'm not paying attention and don't get the spoon of food in her mouth when she is ready for it (this is adorable as well!)
-STILL struggling with sleeping but doing MUCH better. She has been sleeping 6 straight hours the last 3 nights (hopefully this doesn't jinx it!)
-LOVES the swimming pool and being outside. She is her fathers child
-Still comes to work with me every day and is usually very well behaved
-loves other babies. She stares at Kynlee whenever she is around
-LOVES the movie Despicable Me. She watches it constantly. I know this makes me a bad mother, but it usually puts her to sleep. My guess is she loves the yellow minions since she laughs at them when they do funny things
-Sits really well
-Shows signs of being interested in crawling
-has held her bottle herself once or twice. I think she could do it all the time but is lazy
-Sleeps with her legs in the air when possible (picture below)
-babbles all the time now. Her favorites are Bah, Dah, Vuh and now does Mah (love that one because it sounds like she is saying mama ) she also makes random noises which make me laugh

And now for a bunch of pictures:
