Seven Months

This little diva is seven months!

Our girl has officially passed the half year mark. She is cutting her first tooth, which is leading to some sleepless nights and lots of comfort nursing. She is now an established crawler and is always trying to get her feet under her and pull up on stuff. 

She has started solid foods and we are doing a mix of purees and some baby led weaning. She is still nursing as often as she can. Sleep at night is OK, although she still ends up in our bed overnight and it hasn't been as good lately because of the tooth. Naps during the day are a different story. We are trying to get her to nap in the crib (instead of on me) and she is not having it. She absolutely will not be put down awake. She will scream and cry until she is hyperventilating. I can occasionally nurse or rock her to sleep and lay her down, and she will sleep for a bit, only to abruptly awake and realize she has been abandoned and be super pissed. But.... we are working on it!

She loves her bothers and thinks they are hilarious. She is going through some separation anxiety with me and doesn't like when I set her down and walk away for any reason. She loves going after the dogs and trying to "play" with them.

She's just under 20 pounds and in 9-12 month clothing. I am loving buying all the girl things for her! She'll keep on headbands, but will not keep on shoes. She does not love going in the car seat.

Basically, she's amazing. I love every second with her. I'm torn between being amazed at how she is growing and changing everyday and heartbroken as I wish time would slow down. She has truly completed our family and every single one of us is smitten with her.

Even Jello. Even though she pulls her ears and legs!
