7 Months

I am 7 months (and 6 days) old!
(Mommy was kind of slow getting this out and I'm doing new things everyday so this is the stuff that I was doing as of 7/27...I'm already doing new things though!)

• At 6 1/2 months I was 14 lb 1oz (9th percentile) and 25.5in (20th percentile). I'm petite like Ellie!
• I wear a size 3-6mo sometime but mostly 6-9mo and I wear a size 2 diaper.
• I generally sleep from 8pm-8am-ish. If I take a morning nap it's usually under an hour. If we're out running errands I'll generally stay awake all morning and only nap in the afternoon...from about 1-4.
• I breastfeed 4 times a day and eat 3 meals a day.
• I eat a mix of baby food and finger foods. I started eating yogurt and baby food carrots this month and really enjoy them. As far as finger foods, I eat chicken, turkey, salmon, sweet potatoes, bananas, green beans, mango, asparagus, and my absolute FAVORITE food peaches! I eat 2-4oz and breakfast and lunch and 6-7oz at dinner (it's hard to measure dinner as most of it is finger foods). When I first started finger foods I would gag occasionally and only a small amount of my food actually made it to my mouth but now I'm a pro and I do a great job...I can eat a whole peach (cut into slices of course) in under 5 minutes easy!
• I can roll and twist around in order to get where I want to go and I will get on my stomach and kick my legs really fast but no crawling yet.
• I still suck on my middle finger and ring finger and I've pretty much given up the pacifier.
• I sit up by myself really well and I'm trying to figure out how to get from lying to sitting.
• If I'm holding on to something (like an ottoman) I can stand by myself.
• 
• I am such a happy baby. I've started laughing out loud more. Generally when I laugh it's because of something my sisters are doing.
• I love to blow "raspberries" and make other funny noises.
• This month I went to the beach for a week with Gran and Grandaddy and Uncle Ben. I had sooo much fun (even though I didn't sleep well at night...NOT a fan of the pack n play). I LOVED the ocean and the waves!

• This month I went to NC for a few days to visit with my second cousins. I loved hanging out with big girls and getting to know GG's side of the family!

• I LOVE the pool. I get so excited when I get in the water!
• I love my big sisters and get so excited when they play with me. They are really great big sisters and are always bringing me toys and reading to me.
• We're still fighting the eczema battle. Some days are better than others. It was pretty good well contained most of the month but has flared back up in the last week.
