Happy 7 months to my sleeper baby! Seriously, you sleep all the time! I don't know if you are growing or just decided to catch up on all the sleep you missed during the first 6 months of your life but it's crazy. Here's your schedule:
8am Wake up call (sometimes I help you wake up then so Savannah and your naps line up in the afternoon. You would, and did, sleep until 10 if I let you)
8-10am Nurse, play, eat cereal/fruit, play
10-12pm Nap (again, I often have to open the blinds and help you wake up at noon)
12-2pm Nurse, play, eat veggies/fruit, play
2-4pm Nap (sometimes this goes until 5)
4-7pm Nurse, play, eat cereal/veggies, play, nurse
7:30pm Bedtime and you are out as soon as we lay you down!
TWO TEETH! We love your cute little bottom teeth that made their grand appearance together this month. You've had a few rough nights and tylenol was worthless but a friend suggested ibuprofen and life was back to normal.
You have tried an array of fruits and veggies. You much prefer the veggies, although it might be because they are thicker. You don't like your cereal runny so maybe the fruits are too runny for you. When you don't finish a jar of baby food by the last day, Savannah is happy to eat the rest for you-she gobbles down even the greens... She also likes to sit on mommy and daddy's lap and coach you as you eat. "Bite!" "Good girl!" "Yummm." "Cereal!" "Squash" "Bananas" I'm sure you appreciate the help.
You and Savannah are the sweetest little buddies. You love her so much and she loves you. The two of you play so well together. Savannah loves to bring you toys and you love anything and everything she brings you. One night this month as we were finishing our bedtime routine, the two of you had a ball kissing each other and giggling back and forth. It was cute enough that we let you stay up and keep at it for 10 minutes past your bedtime (which is huge for your schedule-mom).
Momma's girl. We left you with a babysitter but you screamed so hard when she came that I just put you to bed 15 minutes early. We had a neighbor over for Easter dinner and you screamed when she walked in and said hello to you because you did not see mommy or daddy.
Those cute chubby thighs and rolls on your arms have been getting a little smaller. In fact, you didn't gain any weight from 4-6 months. We are going back in a few days to see if you have gained this month.
You are a reacher! You love sitting up and all but refuse tummy time. You will bend completely flat from sitting up to reach a toy and then sit back up. Amazing abs, little one. You love to play with mommy's necklaces and earrings, too.
Oh my dear you learned to hug and it is the most precious thing ever! You wrap your little arms around our necks and snuggle into our shoulders. Even when you don't wrap your arms around you love to snuggle. Sometimes you dive headfirst into our shoulder without warning just to snuggle. You are our little snuggle-bug.
We love you, sweet Emily. We sure love that you are part of our family!
