Lillian at SEVEN months old

Lillian Lindley is seven months (and 10 days) old!

 Wowza...that time, it does not stop moving! I have said it again and again (and again and again) this child is an absolute joy.

We went to a cookout for memorial day and she wasn't feeling good. Turns out she had fluid on both ears. Anyways, when we walked up, she got overwhelmed and started squalling. I think that was the first time she's ever done that. You know you have a happy baby when everyone is shocked when she cries like that. Never happens.

 

Things about Lillian at SEVEN months old:

- As of today (05/27), she weighed 16 lbs 4 oz. She's still a little bit, but has some killer thigh rolls. They are the cutest things and absolutely juicy!

- Nursing 5 times a day these days. 6:15, 8:30, 12:30, 4:30, 7:00ish. We are officially doing solids two times a day with breakfast and dinner. She has started to get distracted with nursing, and she likes me to sing twinkle twinkle little star so she can relax.

- Speaking of solids, homegirl loooooves her food! I am making her baby food and she just goobles it up! So far, we've made: apples, pears, bananas, avocados, green beans, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, carrots. She loves them all. I've been mixing flavors for her too. Up next is summer squash. She also started mum-mums (rice crackers) and loves them. Sissy just likes to eat. 

- She is wearing 6-9 months clothes, and some 12 months but those are still big. Size 2 diapers are still working for us.

- Sleep: naps has just started to improve. She will go bt 45-60 minutes before waking and taking two 1.5-2 hour naps a day. We've been putting her down at night around 7:15 and she's been sleeping until around 6:00-6:15 am. She nurses and goes back down until around 8:15-8:30. Some days are good and some days are bad with her sleep. I'm still learning to take it with a grain of salt.

- Sitting up like a champ. She can sit and reach for things, and today she went from all fours to sitting position. She is also so close to crawling. Her main method of mobility is scooting. That girl can scoot backwards on her belly like a pro!

- On the last day at the beach, we noticed she had two teeth sprouting. She has been drooling for the last month or so, but it hit me hard when I found them...My baby is not suppose to be big enough for a tooth. And here she is, with two teeth.

She loves: being held, watching every move her brother makes, food, her pap, the exersaucer (for about 10 minutes), her sophie giraffe, sitting in the high chair like a big girl, her toys that light up, and her mommy :)
