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!
