Another month, another update. Happy 7 Months!
Do you notice the little tooth peeking though? A week ago it pushed it's way into her bottom gum.
Baby L made it to the doctor for her well-baby check-up and is currently 26 inches long and weighs in at 14 lbs 8 oz.
She is getting steadier while sitting up, but will still topple over fairly easily. She has been rolling for some time now, but her rolling has reached a new level of speediness and precision. She will roll all around a room getting to the object that has caught her interest. She slowly army-crawl style scoots. Her legs are strong and she is quite happy to stand if someone will help hold her.
She enjoys being read to, as well as being sang to, and she really enjoys a good game of peek-a-boo! She is a very ticklish baby, the slightest touch will send her into giggles.
I'm pretty sure she finds her big brother to be very amusing, albeit a little annoying too.
He has recently started aggravating her, on purpose. And I once heard a pouty, "she is looking at me!" come from him. Overall though, he is very loving and interested in her. Whenever we leave the house, he always reminds us that sister needs to go too.
As you can read about in previous monthly updates, her sleeping schedule has been good, bad, good, bad... once again we are [thankfully] on a good schedule. I have a feeling this schedule will stick! She is up between 630-7 AM
Nap 1 at 9 AM
Nap 2 at 130 PM - big brother goes down around this time too... ohhh stay-at-home-momma joy!
Bed at 7 PM
Now if she would just sleep through the night!
We started giving her baby food this month. Her favorite (so far) is sweet potato and chicken puree. Which is so different from Baby J, who hated anything with meat until he was nearly 2 years old. She has also enjoyed roasted butternut squash and an apple-banana mix.
Every night as she nurses before bed I rub her soft hair, praying for her present and her future.
