7 Months

Little Mia, you are 7 months old today!

Here is what's been going on:

• You weigh about 16 pounds.


• You wear size 2 diapers.


• You are wearing 6-9 month clothes, though a couple of the smaller tops still fit.
  
• We've had some changes in your sleep schedule since the time change. You take about a 45 minute nap in the morning, an 1 1/2 - 2 hour nap after lunch, and then sometimes a third catnap around dinner time. However, you're usually waking up an hour earlier every morning (which is better than the 2 hour earlier wake up call I was getting right after the time change. Eeeesh!)


• You're getting better about trying new foods. You like apples, pears, avacado, pumpkin, sweet peas, and butternut squash. You'll eat banana if it's mixed in with oatmeal, which is your FAVORITE. You eat 3-4 ounces of solids twice a day, and a 6 or 7 ounce bottle 4 times a day.


• You've been "army crawling" for 3 weeks now. In the last couple days, you've been pushing yourself up on to your hands and knees and rocking back and forth, so we know the crawling will begin any day now.


• At the end of October, you got your first teeth! Your bottom two teeth came in within 2 days of each other. I'm pretty sure the top teeth are coming in now, and I wouldn't be surprised if by next month you have 4!






• You have added consonants to your baby babbles. Mamama and bababa are now frequent.


• We play peekaboo all the time. You think it's hysterical when mommy or daddy pop out from behind something. You also will put your blanket over your head and pop out yourself. We love it!


• This past weekend, we had your first professional photos done and we're so excited with the way they turned out. We can't wait to share them.


• You're a happy, healthy, smiling little girl. You're growing and changing every single day!
