I watched you sleeping the other morning and you just looked so big. You are not my tiny newborn baby anymore. Every week you are growing and moving more and more.
You weigh 15 lbs and are 25 inches long. You are still in size 2 diapers and 6 month clothes. So you seem to be growing to my eyes but the numbers aren't moving too fast. Still a little one like your sister.
You have had lots of new foods this month, green beans, apples, pears, bananas, avocados. You are also back to cereal in the morning, a veggie cube at lunch and veggie or fruit cube at dinner. I have made all of your food and you seem to enjoy most everything. You are still drinking 4-5 oz bottles morning, noon and afternoon. I nurse you before work and usually twice in the evening.
Your sleeping, well little darling, still stinks. This month I think we got 5 nights where you slept through the night. You do only wake up once, but it is still a little draining on this momma who has been working a lot! I have had a few nights where I sleep upstairs and your daddy wakes up with you. I just started to get really behind on sleep and my body was yelling at me to rest. I know you will get it soon enough though. You have also become a little particular about how you go to sleep. You have become very attached to holding a blanket and sucking your thumb. While I am rocking you to sleep, (which never happened with your sister, you are a spoiled little cutie) I lay a blanket on my shoulder and you will grab it and pop that cute little thumb in your mouth. I have noticed that whenever you get tired you will fuss around and search for something soft to hold in order to put your thumb in your mouth, lots of times a blanket or my hair. In your 7 month photo shoot it was the bear you lay on. Throughout the day you will usually have two short naps or one long nap at Stacy's and a quick snooze to and from Stacy's. On the weekends like everything else it is just a free for all. You never know what is going to happen. Our family is just not scheduled. Everything is always changing and I absolutely love it! I started to worry that you would be a mess because we have no absolute schedule, but someone told me flexible children are great when it comes to going to school. So I am just going with that!
You have continued to move all over the place. You started army crawling this weekend and are getting pretty fast. You are so close to crawling. I am going to be out of town the rest of this week and I just know you will start crawling then. I am hoping you hold off to the weekend so I can witness it. If you don't I guess I will just pretend that you did. ;) You quickly can get to things that you are not supposed to have like shoes or your sisters Polly Pockets. I have a feeling chocking hazards are going to be more of a concern with you because there is a toddler in the mix. However, that little toddler loves you so very much. You two both light up when you are around each other. I just love how much you love each other. I hope that you always have a very special bond.
Highlights from this month....
- You were baptized, during which you bounced around, laughed, and waved your arms.
- You continue to be a very happy and content baby, always smiling.
- You love jewelry and earrings. You have started to notice and really grab at these things along with hair!
- You got the flu and proceeded to give it to our little family :( Daddy stayed home with everyone a whole week. Even when you had a fever you continued to be happy and smiley. The only way we could tell you were sick was your poor little eyes. They looked so sad and you developed a horrible cough.
- Love blowing raspberries and talking loud.
- You like to bang your toys. You seem to be getting louder and starting to love the attention you get.
- You will copy your sister. When she is bouncing on her rocking horse, you will bounce in your entertainer.
- Started saying dada and baba
- Love taking a bath with your sister.
- If I am in the room you prefer your mommy,especially when you are tired!!!
- You got your second tooth.
- Addy calls you Li.
Lilah you are a perfect addition to our family. You fit right in and are happy to go along on our crazy ride. We love you very very much!
Love you forever,
Mommy
