Baby Girl: 7 Months

Brynn is becoming very vocal, she's trying really hard to crawl and she's eating just about anything we give to her.

We went to the zoo and Brynn was thoroughly unimpressed with the carousel.

She was also unimpressed with the selection at RC Wiley

She really enjoyed being outside and I really enjoyed this outfit on her.

She sat up in the tub for the first time...she's still a bit wobbly though so I just sit her up to wash her hair.

Watching Tate dye Easter eggs.

She had fun playing with her Easter Beanie Baby that is definitely not going to make her mom rich now because the tags are gone (gasp!)

She was so tired at the end of the day on Easter. All those guests + teething she had just had enough by the time dinner rolled around.

Learning to use a sippy cup by herself.

Chili for dinner was a big hit.

She started rolling to actually get places and was always getting stuck.

She tried blackberries for the first time and was so into them.

First taste of honeydew at Great Grandma's birthday lunch...she was a big fan.

She started trying to crawl. She only bounces back and forth right now but she's getting there.

Happy 7 Months, Baby Girl!

Weight: About 18 pounds
Height: About 25 inches
Clothing Size: 6-9 months, some 9-12 months 
Diaper Size: In cloth diapers but would be in size 2 
Milestones: Getting up on her knees and bouncing back and forth. Inch-worming (on her knees, reaches out hands and pulls her self forward). Two bottom teeth popped through around April 14th. Doing better with a bottle and will usually take it, she even takes a bottle from me occasionally.
Eating: Brynn usually wakes up around 6 or 7am and nurses then will eat baby food for breakfast around 8/8:30. At lunch she'll eat baby food again and kind of nurse, same for dinner then right before bed I try to nurse her again but she is often not very interested.
Sleeping: Usually still naps 3 times a day for about 1.5-2 hours each. She will only nap in her crib so if we are out she often misses a nap but still manages to stay pretty happy. Night sleeping has been a bit rough lately because she's teething and had an ear infection but she worked things out and is back on her 9 hour stretches at night. She was waking up about 2 times a night screaming and could only be soothed by nursing. Luckily she seems to be feeling much better and doesn't need those multiple feedings any more.
Communication: Still yells just to hear herself yell, blowing raspberries, lots of jabbering
Nicknames: Baby Girl, Brynners, Sister, Baby B, Baby Brynn, Brynnie  
 

*Tate's 7 month update

Baby H.--7 Months

This past month flew by.  It seems like I just wrote the 6 month post. 

He was so excited as I took these pictures...

...and then I set him down and he was oh so not happy.

Baby started getting teeth a few weeks ago.  Aside from one horrible night, he hasn't seemed to be in too much pain.

With the new teeth came his tongue darting in and out of his mouth.  He especially likes to hold it to the left side.

I love how cute he looks when he sleeps.

I can finally say he is a sitter.  He can sit for long periods of time and seems to prefer that over laying on his back or stomach.

That bow tie...I love it!  Thanks, Janae!

He loves to grab things, especially my face.  This is a pretty regular occurrence when I get home from work.

He continues to hate all solid food (so far we've tried rice cereal, squash, carrots and sweet potatoes).  One day I had given up on trying to get the food in his mouth and he took the spoon from me.  This was the result.

He did end up getting a lot more in his mouth than when I tried to feed him.

He still loves bath time and it's so much easier now that he can sit.

He's so much fun to play with.  He's silly and mobile and has a definite personality.

If he could only figure out that he needs to put his legs under himself, he'd be crawling soon.

Sometimes, he's a ninja.

Sometimes, he's just so freaking cute I can't stand it.

Oh, that smile.

This is his "I will get that cell phone and I will put it in my mouth and it will be awesome" face.

This is his "You're an aweful mommy for not letting me put your cell phone in my mouth and I'm going to start screaming now" face.
