Today you are 7 months baby girl! You celebrated this by sleeping in till 8AM, which meant mama slept till 8 too! Yay!! Not so yay is that you're still getting up to nurse 2 times a night. Tonight I will nurse you once (hopefully later rather than sooner) but then I'm going to send your dad in to give you a bottle of water. That is the message we are sending you.
You are eating up a storm. Tonight for dinner you had avocado and squash. For a snack you got pieces of banana since your dad and sister were eating Toddler Yogurt right in front of you. Actually it was baby yogurt, but I think we should wait to give you dairy till you're a little older.
Friends of ours gave us two huge things of formula because I've been thinking of giving you a bottle of it before bed. But I haven't brought myself to actually do it yet. I think I will in the new year. As much as I'm tired of getting up to nurse you in the night, I know that once I start giving you formula, my supply will probably tank and you'll prefer bottles and then before too long you'll be weaned. I stopped nursing The Bean at 8 months. I wonder how long you'll go.
I kind of want you to be weaned, but I also want you to stay my baby, baby.
Anyway, you're sitting super well. And you've really stated to need to play with toys. You like having a box of toys to choose from. You kind of finger through it pulling different toys out as you go.
Colonel Granny came to town this weekend and she gave you lots of tummy time and you rolled over on your own twice this afternoon. I didn't witness it because I was eating a sandwich in the kitchen.
You really want a sandwich, big girl. The other day you looked at granny so angrily when she was eating her lunch. You were all like how can you eat that without even offering me a bite? Then, you tried to take a bite of my sandwich!
We are in the love affair stage. You LOVE mama and smile and laugh and light up when I come into the room. You make me feel like Julia Roberts and I can't get enough of it. I'm happy to report that violence against babies is dramatically down. Granny says she can see that The Bean now loves you in a way she didn't before. That said, toddlers can not be trusted so she won't be babysitting you anytime soon.
You are still the queen of the 45 minute nap. Although when we have somewhere to go, you decide to power nap for 2 hours!
Next week will be your first Xmas, which will be fun. I hope all the traveling is okay with you. I think this month will be full of big developments. You may even get to try some Cheerios!
I love you to bits, baby!
xo, mama
