Grace: 7 months old

Our Grace turned 7 months a few days ago. Here are her updates:
  • Weight is: approx. 16.8 lbs
  • Height is: approx. 27 inches
  • In 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
  • Doing the "sit up and then lay down and roll over and then sit up again" method to get around. But, she is ALMOST crawling. She still tucks her legs under and then flattens. But, occasionally she will get a couple forward movements in before flattening.
  • Plays with toys mostly by putting them in her mouth; loves to be sung to; loves the finger puppet book for Old MacDonald Had a Farm; starting to take Atticus' toys....
  • Still a paci baby.
  • Takes a morning nap of an hour and an afternoon nap of 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Sleeps for about 11-12 hours per night waking up once but keeps me on my toes as to when that time will be.
  • Has her two bottom middle teeth.
  • Started babbling "babababababa" just yesterday!
  • She is still a happy eater. I am feeding her dinner of prunes (always prunes!) and either oatmeal or vegetables or fruit. The only table food she is eating so far is bananas and avocados and has those at snacktime. She also likes puffs and crunchies.
  • She is not taking a bottle very often because she is with me all the time. However, sometimes when we do need her to take one, she doesn't take it very well.
  • She loves her bathtime if it falls in her routine. If she is hungry or too tired, she is not happy at all!
  • She loves pulling up on us while we are on the floor with her. And, she prefers to be carried around almost all the time. She will play once she is fed and has energy. But, as soon as she is done playing, she is ready to be carried and held. And, for whatever reason, if someone else has her and I walk up or she hears my voice, she immediately wants me instead. Sweet baby, but goodness!
