Seven Months Old

At Seven Months Old Abigail...

...sleeps 12 hours at night. 8:30/9:00pm-8:30/9:00am. She typically takes an hour nap in the late morning and a 1.5/2 hour nap in the afternoon. 

...eats Mama's Milk and a few solid foods: brown rice cereal, sweet potatoes, squash, avocados, and bananas.  She nurses 4 times a day (breakfast, lunch, supper, and bedtime) and she eats solid food 2-3 times a day. She's cut two more teeth this month (the top middle ones) so she has 4 total.

...plays on her own pretty well. I'll just lay her on her tummy or have her sit on the floor and spread toys around her. She can hold her tummy off the floor on her hands and knees for a little bit and she can rotate around in a circle. She doesn't roll to get to things or crawl yet, but I'll that's okay. She can walk around in her walker and can now go on the carpet in the living room with that. It is harder to walk with it on carpet so she gets frustrated sometimes and grunts and yells. She wiggles ALL THE TIME! on the changing table, in your arms, on the floor, for this photo shoot...

She can kind of say da-da but not with much meaning yet. Soon though I think!

She is such a happy girl. She smiles and laughs all the time. She "talks" and smiles at strangers.We can even get her to do a good giggle if we tickle her tummy or back. She's kind of slap happy when she's tired at night too. Her favorite toy is still Sophie the giraffe. She totally knows how to throw it down on the floor now. She kind of likes to play peek-a-boo too.

...wears 9-12 months clothes, size 2 shoes, and size 3 diapers (and cloth diapers). 

...weighs 18 lbs.
She is 26.5 inches long.

Here is her six month post.
