Happy 7th Month to You!!
Stats
- You weigh about 21 pounds and are about 28.5 inches (if I'm remembering correctly...I've got to start writing this down!)
- You're still in Size 3 diapers and are in 9 month or larger clothing. It's time to buy some shorts to get ready for summer!
Eating
- Still a great eater! You now have 2 meals of cereal (oatmeal or barley) and 2 meals of fruits/veggies every day PLUS 6 bottles!
- Bottles are 5.5 to 6 ounces for first and last bottles of the day; 3 of them are about 4.5 to 5 ounces, and one of them...well, I usually make a 3-4 ounce one but you drink maybe an ounce (that's the one with the last fruits/veggies around 5:30).
- Tried giving you ground turkey and although you didn't seem to mind it, I'm not sure you were ready for the mashing part of it yourself!
- Fruits: applesauce, bananas, pears, peaches, mangoes,
- Veggies: avocados, peas, green beans, squash, sweet potato, carrots
- Meats: Ground turkey (a few crumbles, and then actual baby food, which you loved! You're just starting to move food around in your mouth so the "real" food is still a challenge!)

Sleeping
- Not much new here except you don't sleep at daycare much. If you sleep 1.5 hours total at daycare that's an amazing day! I've started taking walks with you after I pick you up from daycare and that usually adds a good 30 minute nap into your day!
- Still sleeping good at night--around 11 hours is your norm!
- Scootching everywhere--and you're really fast at it!
- Starting to really notice things more like certain noises that you didn't pay any attention to before. So curious! You really watch to see what happens/where something comes from.
- The week before turning 8 months old, you started sitting up from the scootching position! It is so fun to watch you crawl somewhere, see something you want, sit, turn directions, and go off again!
- It's Springtime and getting nicer and nicer outside. You didn't like your first feeling of grass, but it did get better the more we did it!
- The dogs are coming around you more--especially since you either have food in your hands or on your body somewhere! Nothing like a good food bribe!
- You have now pulled yourself up at daycare on some toys, and are starting to show us at home that you can do it too. I guess now we get to teach you how to "fall down" safely! Now that ought to be an experience in patience---for both you and mommy!
- You pull up from a sitting position when we give you our hands.
- You got bitten at daycare because you invaded someone's space--apparently you just wanted to get something you had your eye on and it was too close to them!
- Daddy and I tried out the pool the last day of March and it was still chilly! We put you in up to your knees and you loved it though--you are definitely going to be a water baby!
- Your April Fool's joke on us was that you started kneeling in your crib...so we lowered it to trick you right back!

| I DO NOT like the grass! |
 |
| The grass is better today. And...look at my new trick! |
 |
| So curious...watching the air purifier to see what it does! |
 |
| I'm getting there folks! |
 |
| Um...I think I'm supposed to have on a swim suit here people! |
 |
| We're off!....well, almost! |
