Our precious Bailey,
You are 7 months old! You are now officially closer to 1 than you are to being a newborn (although I guess that is true always!). Mama is not ready for you to grow so quickly, but we love watching you develop!
We do not go back to the doctor until 9 months, so I do not know your exact stats. I do know that you are one tall girl! You are currently wearing a variety of clothing sizes. Some 6 month shirts still fit, but most shirts are 6-9/9 months. You also have a few 12 month shirts. Most pants are 9 month or 12 month, because your little legs are too long for anything smaller! You are still wearing size 3 diapers, and are in size 3 shoes now!
You have gotten on a pretty good schedule lately. You wake each morning between 7-8:30. You have a 6-7 oz. bottle every 3-4 hours (closer to 3 right now.) You are eating baby food for lunch and dinner. We tried breakfast, but you are getting over a stomach bug, so you are just not quite ready. We have to stop you at 2.5 oz of baby food or else you get a bad tummy ache. You normally take 2 naps each day (1.5-2 hrs each) and go to sleep around 8:30.
You are currently eating:
Bananas, Apples, Mangos, Apricots, Prunes, Plums, Peaches, Strawberries, Pumpkin, Avacado, Butternut squash, peas and carrots.
We are staying away from grains and sweet potatoes right now because they seem to upset your tummy.
You have become much more independent this month! You can hold your own bottle. You also love to sit up on your own and play. Last week, you dove forward into the crawling position, but then got scared because you didn't know what to do! You are also trying SO hard to sit up on your own. Your favorite activity is to play in your exersaucer. You get so excited and bounce up and down in the seat.
This past month, you celebrated your 1st Halloween! You were a sweet lady bug, but you did not like the headband or hat that came with your costume.
You still have just 2 teeth (on the bottom). You are working on the top 2 now. You chew on anything that you can get your hands on!
We changed you into a bigger carseat, which means that you get to sit in high chairs at restaurants now. You are doing great, and love being able to sit up. You tried puffs at lunch and loved them! You even managed to feed yourself 1.
You are still our cuddle bug. When you are really sleep though, you just want to be laid down in your crib. You have started to roll onto your stomach sometimes when you sleep. You sleep with your paci, 1-2 loves and a blanket. This past week you have started sleeping through the night! YAY! You are such a go with the flow baby. You can sleep anywhere, and through all kinds of noise. You (and your sister) have both handled our move like champs.
Your sister still loves you as fiercely as ever. The other day, she was riding in the cart at the store, and said "Bay-Bay?!" and pointed at the empty seat next to her. She is also wanting to share new experiences and things she loves with you.
You have really started babbling too! You have the "ma", "d", "g" and "a" syllables down. When you are really mad, you will go "mmm,mmm,mmm,mmm!" You still have a little temper, and have the funniest screams whenever you are frustrated.
Sweet Bay-Bay, we love you so much! The next few months hold a lot of big changes for you as you grow. We pray that the Lord will take hold of your precious life and be glorified through all that you do.
Love always,
Mommy and Daddy
