7 months old!
Dec 27, 2009
Little Bug at 7 months old:
- sits up without support but still topples over sometimes
- wants to crawl so bad!
- gets around by rolling EVERYWHERE!
- plays with blocks (if you build a tower she is sure to make it fall!)
- loves any toy that sings or plays music
- loves to play “Pull Up” with her Grandpa
- plays Peek A Boo
- wears mostly size 6 month and 6-9 month clothes, but can still fit into some 3-6 month outfits
- wears size 3 diapers
- no longer sleeps swaddled in the Miracle Blanket (although she still wants it wrapped around her middle, arms out, for night time sleep!)
- only sleeps with the blanket Grace made her for naps
- had two HUGE growth spurts this month
- typically eats 5-6 oz. every 3.5 to 4 hours (However, during her growth spurts she was sometimes eating SIX oz. every TWO hours – I was amazed that her tummy could hold that much formula!)
- dropped the 11pm dreamfeed and now sleeps 10-11 hours at night with no feedings!
- still naps 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening)
- won’t take a paci anymore (which is a good thing!)
- shakes her head back and forth with her mouth wide open
- takes her hand and slaps her belly or forehead
- still enjoys her swing occasionally
- loves taking walks in the stroller (she now likes to sit up like a big girl in the stroller)
- is very social and doesn’t meet a stranger
- cut TWO teeth (Dec. 6th & 8th)
- smiles ALL the time!
