Sister, another month has come and gone. That was quick! Not a whole lot of change in routine this month - still taking 2 naps, usually from 8:30-10am and 1-2:30/3pm. Bedtime is 6:30/7pm and wake time is 6:30/7am. You are typically taking 6-8oz bottles every four hours, but lately you've been fighting them a LOT because your top teeth are coming in! OUCH!
The biggest change this month is that you now eat real food - as in table food! You are a rockstar with MumMums, puffs, and yogurt melts, so we are slowly beginning to add mushy vegetables, fruits, pasta, etc to your menu. Most days, you are pretty much a garbage disposal - no matter what I put in your mouth, you just want MORE! Your favorite purees are sweet potatoes, bananas, carrots, and a banana/mixed berries combo. You went through a phase where you wouldn't touch anything green by itself, so we had to stir a small amount of peas and green beans into your sweet potatoes or mix the greens with fruit. (Sneaky, huh?) We haven't tried again, but we will soon. Whatever works, right?

You are now a very solid sitter, and I rarely see you topple over anymore. If you do, it's because you were reaching for something out of reach or because you heard a loud noise and were trying to find it. You are very dramatic when you do fall and it often takes a while to calm you down. You reverted back to absolute HATRED of tummy time for a while this month, but I think it's because you are so focused on sitting/standing. When you're on your tummy lately, you pivot in circles on your tummy and scoot backwards a little if REALLY motivated. I have a feeling that you might stand/cruise before crawling since you've pulled yourself and stood up holding onto things a few times. You may be one of those babies that walks before they crawl. You just seem to have no interest in it. We'll see.
You still have your two bottom teeth, and those top two toofers should be coming ANY DAY. They are bulging and mean. I can't wait to be over those dumb things! You have found your voice this month, and boy do you love to use it! You squeal, crow, and blow raspberries constantly.
Your current loves are walks in the stroller, swinging at the park, the doorway jumper and your stuffed dog, Violet. You absolutely hate the car seat (still) and sometimes resist the high chair. You seem to just tolerate the exersaucer...I think you just want to GO.
Not much else to report this month - we'll see how things change in month 8! :) Love you, lady bug!
