7 months

Olivia you are growing up so fast and I think you have changed the most in the last month than you have in your little life so far! You are constantly discovering new things and surprising us with things you learn. Here are your 7 month stats:

- You weight 16 lbs 14 oz.

- You wear all 6 months clothes ( a few 3-6 and a few 6-9 months)

- You eat solids twice a day ( fruit & cereal for breakfast and a veggie for dinner), also we moved you up to the "level 2" solids which are thicker and you are doing much better at keeping them in your mouth!

- Speaking of food, you have liked pretty much everything you have tried so far but didn't like avocados too much and absolutely hated chicken! You gagged and sputtered trying to get it off your mouth. I used jarred, so next time I will make my own and grind it up and see if you like it better (maybe mix it with some veggies too)

- You have continued to sleep through the night (most nights other than a couple) which is SO nice!

- You are starting to get more on a nap schedule. So far you go down for your first nap at 9 am and sleep for 1.5- 2 hours. Your second (and third) nap is less predictable, but hopefully gets better with time!

- You have started crawling this month! It started with getting up on all fours and rocking, then taking a couple steps. Once you did that, you were able to crawl across the living room floor within 3 days! You still don't crawl all over, but you crawl quickly to something you want (and shouldn't have- like wires.)

- You continue to put yourself to sleep for naps and bedtime, which I think helps you sleep better and makes it easier for us if we are out running errands. Only bad thing is you don't like to cuddle too much anymore!

- You sit up completely on your own now for as long as you want. You can sit and play with toys, get down and crawl, and push yourself back up to sitting! Everything changed so quickly!

- You love to talk now when someone is rubbing your mouth to make a motorboat sound. Daddy taught this to you and you have tried to do it to yourself with your binky which is pretty funny. If you aren't sleepy or hungry, rubbing your mouth will make you talk every time!

- You are such a happy baby and sometimes you smile so bug you look like you may just explode with happiness. It is so cute.

- You still love to be thrown into the air. You laugh and shriek with excitement!

- You also still love to sneeze- you smile every time!

- We love you more than anything baby girl.
