7 Months Old






Blakely you are doing so much these days. It seems like this month has flown by. Here are some things you are doing.
*Height – 27 inches*Weight - close to 18 lbs (not very accurate since I weighed you and not the Dr.)*Clothes/Diapers - size 6 - 9 or 12; size 3 diapers
*Eating: you are eating oatmeal in the morning and eating various foods at night; I am still nursing you, but I also give you about 2 bottles of formula a day; you have now tried peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, applesauce, bananas, pears, peaches, you have not turned down any food-we are so glad you are not a picky eater.
*Toys/Activities/Books: you love your Jumperoo and Intellitainer; you like to play on the floor with all of your toys; you want to put everything in your mouth; you love anything that makes sound; you love when we sing to you – “This is the way…” is one of your favorites; you love to be in the stroller, especially at the mall-just like your mommy; you love baby Einstein videos; you enjoy bath time in the big tub with mommy and all the bubbles; when mommy and daddy dance in front of you-you get the biggest smile; you are enjoying books; you love when we read any book; your favorite is the one we read to you before bed time-“Hush Little Ones.”
*Movement: you love to sit-you always want to see what is going on; you scoot your body to get to your toys; you will roll around but it is not one of your favorite things to do; you are still not a big fan of being on your belly.
*Sleeping: you are such a good sleeper; you take about 3 naps a day and usually go to bed around 7:30 and wake up between 6:00 and 7:00; there are a few days when you do wake up at 5:00, you eat and then go back to sleep. Something funny that you do is stuff your blankie in your mouth until you fall asleep…it must taste so good.
*Talking: you say dada all the time and babble a lot; we are really working on mama.
*This past month you have had two colds. We hope you get rid of those nasty colds soon.
Blakely, you continue to bring so much happiness in our lives. We love you so much pea potters and love watching you grow.
