7 Months

I used to be sad each month when Hadley was getting older, but now I'm at the point where I can't wait for all these huge milestones to get here! Soon she will be crawling, then walking and talking and I am so excited to see the little person she grows up to be!

For now, I'm loving every second of this stage. She is the perfect age because I can put her on the ground with her toys and she will just sit there and play! Here is what life with Hadley is like now:

Sleep: You are sleeping great again! Your bedtime starts at 7 and you are usually asleep by 7:30. I still do a dream feed at 11 and then you sleep until 7. After you eat you usually go back down until 8:30 or so! You are now being swaddled with your hands out and so you can find your own paci in the middle of the  night. I read a tip to put several pacis in the crib so that you can always find at least one. The other morning I went to get you and you had one paci in your mouth and one in each hand. So precious!

Eating: You eat 4 oz every 3 hours and are doing great with your solids. You eat solids (fruit, veggie and oatmeal) once a day, but we'll start eating twice a day this week. Sometime you'll have a late afternoon snack of yogurt! I haven't found anything you don't like yet!

Sizes: You are wearing 3-6 month from everywhere. If an outfit has feet you have to go up a size since your so tall. But during the summer you are mostly wearing rompers and bubbles and 3-6 still fits! My favorite jammies for you are from Old Navy and they are a size 0-3!  Now you are wearing size 2-3 diapers. I love this size and can only find it at Babies R Us! 

Things you love: You love playing in your play room and your favorite toy right now is the stacking rings. You love being in your excersaucer and you love banging on everything! Maverick is so funny to you and you love when she's around. You love being outside or looking out the front window waiting for daddy to come home. This month you have loved your paci and you have it in your mouth most of the day... You are such a happy girl that you love most everything!

Activities: We are still in our music class at Kidville and we meet up with our friends every Thursday afternoon.  

New things you do: You sit by yourself, you can feed yourself your bottle, you are starting to fuss if I leave the room, you are grabbing toys and trying to reach for some that are out of reach. You babble and smile at people when they talk to you. You "clap" your hands together and if you have toys in each hand you love banging them together!

Routine: You wake up at 8:30 take a nap at 10, 12:30, 2:30 and a quick nap at 5. You eat and play in between all your naps. Bath time is at 7, we do lotion, a story and a small bottle. You fall asleep very quickly! You eat at 11 pm and then sleep until morning! 

Hadley is such a nosy little girl! She is always staring at someone!

This is her new face- she does this all the time! 

Sweet Hadley I am so excited to watch you grow. Every day is better than the last and I'm so proud to be your mom!
