7 Month Update

Gianna

I can't believe you are already 7 months old. Time is just flying by. You are at such a fun age. You have your very own personality and it has been so much fun watching how much you've changed this past month

You are now sitting up on your own, crawling everywhere and pulling yourself up to standing on everything you can. There is never a dull moment in the house and I have to constantly watch you since you will get into everything! You love our coffee table for some reason. You are always pulling yourself up on it and when you do you look around to make sure you had an audience with a huge grin on your face. It's hilarious!

You love your Sophie, your learn and laugh puppy, your ride along dino and your play table. You also love Mommy's phone which you are constantly trying to grab and call after.

Your daddy has been gone this month and every night when he calls we put him on speaker phone. The grin on your face the minute you hear his boice is priceless. It's just the sweetest thing. You love your daddy

You are still a mommy's girl however. As brave as you get exploring new toys and crawling all over the house, you constantly look around to make sure I'm nearby and crawl back over to me as if you are checking in with me. It's so sweet.

Diapers
Currently in size 2. I'm on my last box and am going to start putting you in 3's

Clothes
Mostly 6 months. Some 3 month clothes still fit and you can wear 9 month clothes but the pants are usually too long for you. You are going to be short like your mom

Food
Still breastfed although Mommy is making your own baby food now. You get organic oatmeal in the morning and then in the late afternoon you get one food.
Your favorites are peas, prunes, pears and avocado
You hate banana's, apples, squash and zucchini
This month I made sweet potatoes, carrot's, pea's, bean's and pumpkin which I will start introducing to you
We also started baby yogart and you love it!
The Dr says you can now eat 3 meals of food a day which I will start soon. When we started it last month it was too much for you
We also tried introducing a sippy cup and you want nothing to do with it. You just eat it

Sleep
You still get up quite frequently throughout the night. You wake for the day at 545 but some days lately it's been at 300 in the morning. And you won't go back to bed! When Daddy gets back we are going to start eliminating one nightly feeding

"Talking"
You just started saying dada, baba, gaga and ahh a few days ago. You get very vocal when playing with your toys
I am always trying to get you to say Mama and whenever I say it you burst out laughing. Silly girl

And now for some monthly pics
