7 Months

Cutie Bebe is 7 months old today!

And she's wearing the Goodwill dress I bought almost 2 years ago!

Sleep: Some nights are better, most are the same.  Someday I'll sleep all night, right?  Her daily naps are roughly the same as last month.  When it is time for bed we just put her in bed with a sleepsack, pacifier and  small blankie and she puts herself to sleep.

Food: Bottles are the same.  She gets a jar of food at both lunch and dinner, but sometimes she's a bugger about eating it.  I think she would rather eat "real" food, so we've started to give her cooked veggies and fruits that we're having for dinner.  She loves puffs and BabyMumMums.

Play: Any and everything she can reach will end up in her mouth.  She still loves her jumperoo and excersaucer, but I'll probably keep only the jumperoo out once we get our tree.  There just isn't enough room!  She likes playing peek-a-boo and no one makes her smile more than Tillie and Teddy.  We let her ride Sandy with Tillie at Meijer and she thought it was the coolest thing ever.  She's a big hamball and loves people.  She's starting to make a lot of sounds and occasionally mimics us.

Movement:  Up until this point I've been discouraging crawling (Christmas tree soon, eek!), but I don't think I'll do that anymore.  (I'd been sitting her up anytime she got on her stomach and tried reaching for things.)  She'll probably be crawling before 8 months and we'll just have to get out the playyard for around the tree!  She sits like a champ and can stand if you put her up by railing or chairs.

Size:  She's wearing 6-12m clothes and shoes.  I can still get some 3-6 month shoes and outfits on, but not for long.  She's wearing 16" headbands and size 3 diapers.  She's a tall girl.  She doesn't have any teeth yet, but that one is still so close.  I really can't believe it hasn't poked through yet!  Her hair keeps getting lighter, but it's still not white like Tillie and Ted's.  It looks like her eyes will be staying blue!
