7 Months Old

My baby girl turned 7 months old on Friday, October 8th. I cannot believe how fast she is growing & changing. She started pulling up in her crib last week so we lowered it on October 6. She seems like such a big girl sleeping in that low crib now!

Speaking of sleep, we’ve had a few sleepless nights lately. Every morning I come up with some excuse as to why she didn’t sleep the night before. Whether it be her teeth bothering her, a head cold, being cold during those few days of chilly weather that we had, to just being spoiled & wanting her mommy to hold her. Overall, she is a pretty good sleeper, but every now & then she gets a wild hair & doesn’t like to sleep. As tired as I am, I don’t mind getting up with her because I know one day I will miss it.

A few other things my angel baby is doing nowadays:

She can go from lying to sitting up.

She is babbling a lot more lately.

Soooo close to CRAWLING!! She has the stance & the motions down, it’s just a matter of putting it all together. She can do one “crawl” then she falls over. I love her determination & watching her go after things on the floor. If she wants it, she will find a way to get it!

Miss Piggy weighs 22 lbs 8 oz! She  & Riley both got their shots (her 6 month & his 2 year) 3 weeks ago along with their 1st flu shots. She is wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes, but I have already put her in a couple 12 month outfits. Wearing a size 4 diaper, the same size as her 2 year old brother! I just love my little round sugar pooh!

She is still nursing & is obviously eating great. I think we’ve tried just about every food that she can eat so far & she has liked it all. I am still making most of her baby food. She loves to be able to feed herself the little crunchies & toast. I tried to give her some juice in a sippy cup a couple days ago, but she didn’t understand how to drink it so she just chewed on the spout.

 

I could just eat her up!! Much like she is eating her monkey!
