Tilly - 7 Months

 

7 months old!

 

 I think these were the hardest pictures yet to take! She was either trying to climb off the chair, rock it back and forth (nice, blurry pics), or smash the elephant in her face. It was a challenge!

 

 

 

 

(the only one with the elephant by her! haha)

 

Month: 7 - January 21, 2015

Height: (didn't get this month)

Weight: 14 lbs 10 oz

We only had a nurse visit to get the flu booster and they weren't going to measure or weigh, but I did ask for a weight check so I don't know the percentiles for this month either. I won't get all that again until her 9 month check up in March!

Diaper Size: Size 2

Clothes Size: All size 6 month tops & pjs. Mostly 6 month pants, but some 9 month fit.

Sleep:  Still awesome! Average night is 8:30pm-7:30am. 3 naps a day that average around an hour or so.

Eat: 6oz bottle when she wakes up, and then 4 more 5oz bottles that average around 3 hours apart.  She has a jar of food around 2pm each day.  I was going to make all her baby food, and did make some, but it's so much easier to just buy- especially all the mixed flavors.  I buy the BeechNut brand that is 100% puree foods with no add-ins. So far she has had Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Bananas, Apples, Pears, Peas, Green Beans, Pumpkin/Apple, and Banana/Blueberry/Green Beans.  The only one she wasn't a fan of so far has been peas. 

 

 

Likes:  She loves chewing on anything and everything, crawling, rolling (anything that keeps her moving), her door jumper, her stationed jumper, playing either by herself or with mommy or daddy, and just blabbing away. This baby is "talking" and/or moving ALL day. She also loves to watch back videos of herself on my phone, it's hilarious. She will super grin and just stare at herself.  She also loves our cell phones and the remote.  If those things are in the middle of a pile of toys, she is going for them. Sigh.  I just ordered her her own little "baby" phone. Hopefully this helps her not slobber all over ours!

Dislikes:  Nothing really here. She is such a happy, smiley baby!

Firsts:  We had our first Christmas and she loved tearing open the presents. It was such a fun morning and I can't wait for next year when she's older and understands a bit more what is going on.

 

 

 

(The only picture I got in her cute outfit.. oops!)

 

She also officially got past the rocking and is now a CRAWLER.. Ah!!! She started by being on her hands and knees and just rocking for weeks.  She finally figured out how to go forward and now it's non stop! She used to just stay in the living room and play while I would go start laundry or make lunch.. Not anymore! Now she immediately wants to follow me everywhere. It's fun, but exhausting and a bit nerve racking!

 

She also is saying Mama and Dada way more. Unfortunately she normally says Dada around me and Mama more around Lance! haha


We recently put her in the top of the shopping cart and it was too cute to watch her look all around and get so excited to see everything in the store.  I had to make the strap as tight as possible since she's still so tiny and was flopping around.

 

 

Extra Updates:  We are just moving right along. I feel like each week I have a new baby because she is constantly learning new things.  It is amazing to watch how much she grows and how independent she is becoming.  She loves to sit and play with all her toys now.  Sadly, she only likes to cuddle when it's time to put her to sleep.  She can't sit still long enough to do it other wise (just like her constantly moving daddy!)  She loves to super scrunch up her face and laugh all the time.  When she gets really excited or focused, she'll scrunch up her face and start breathing really loud. She is a determined little baby, that's for sure.  We are so thankful for this amazing, healthy little bit! 

Oh, and still no teeth!!

 

We love you Tilly Ann!
