Here is what our big 7 month old has been up to this past month:
Weight: Almost 14 ½
lbs
Length:About 25 ½ inches
Clothes: 3-6 month or
6 month
Diapers: Just moved
to size 2!
Shoe: Size 1
Takes 4 bottles a day, usually around 8, 12, 4 and
8:30. We offer her 6 oz bottles, but she
takes anywhere from 4-6 oz each time. Gets
fortified breastmilk from a bottle. She
doesn’t really like to be held while she eats, and prefers to eat sitting in
her bouncer. We have to sit on the floor
next to her and feed her. Whatever it
takes, I guess!
Eats 3 meals of solids a day. Fruit & oatmeal in the morning, usually a
veggie & rice cereal at lunch, and a big meal of rice cereal, a veggie and
a fruit at dinner. She definitely loves
her solids! She will eat mostly anything
now, even green beans & carrots, which she didn’t like at first.
Favorites:
Avocado
Sweet potatoes
Mixed veggies (carrots, peas, potatoes or spinach)
Loves almost any fruit
Tried the sippy cup a few times but she just doesn’t “get
it” yet.
Started sleeping in her own crib shortly after her 6 month
birthday. For the first week or two she
woke up around 3:30am for a bottle.
Would take 3-3.5 oz and go right back to sleep.
Sleeps on her side most of the time.
Wakes on her own around 7:00-7:30am and is ready for bed
around 9:30pm.
Usually takes 1 big nap and 1-2 short naps each day. We moved a box fan in her room and run it
during naptime to drown out the noise. She
has been sleeping longer with it on!
Still sleeps with her Snuza breathing monitor on.
Picks up her legs and slams them down on the mattress when
she is excited and ready to get up.
Starting to bear a little bit of weight on her legs when you
stand her up, but she doesn’t ever really try to get in the standing
position.
Had her first mild cold.
It lasted about 3-4 days.
Started staying at home with Daddy or Mums while I sub a few
days a week.
Loves to sit up in her boppy.
Likes most women, but still doesn’t care for men very much.
Rarely smiles at strangers.
She saves up all of her smiles for people she knows!
Still a pretty good car rider. Is usually content to look in her mirror or
play with her paci or a toy. She still
falls asleep in the car pretty frequently.
Went to visit family in San Angelo and Austin.
Still loves bath time.
Likes to kick and splash or play with bath toys.
Loves to read!
Waiting, waiting, waiting for that bottom tooth to pop
through. The tooth keeps moving up and
then back down. Drooling a ton!
Had a few fussier weeks this month, so maybe that means she
is about to have some big changes developmentally!
Likes to grab at everything…our food, drinks, toys, anything
that is within her reach.
Getting pretty good at picking up her paci and putting it
in her mouth. She does this in the car
and also sometimes in her bed at night.
Really close to rolling over back to tummy and sitting up by
herself. Can sit on her own for a few seconds at a time. She definitely prefers to be in
the upright position these days.
Definitely content being left with Mums or GiGi & PawPaw, but she really
lights up when Mommy and Daddy are around.
When being rocked before bed she loves to reach up and touch
my face. Sometimes she grabs for my hair
too, but mostly it is face-patting!
Favorite toys:
Push-top ball popper
Baby doll
Rattles
Toy cell phone
Getting better at reaching for people to be picked up. She kind of forgot how to do this after her
surgery since we weren’t able to pick her up under her arms.
Is pretty proud of herself when we carry her on our
hip. We didn’t do this for the longest
because it was hard to get her in that position without picking her up under her
arms. Now that we carry her that way,
she feels like a big girl!
Enjoys being outside.
Still loves her bouncy seat.
I think this is by far the baby item we have used the most!
Is a pretty happy girl, especially when she is at home.
This little girl has brought us an immeasurable amount of joy. I love watching her grow and discover new things. We are so proud of you, Evin!
