Seven Months Old! 08.07.12

Harper you are SEVEN months old now!! 

Before the month gets away from me I better write down eveything you are up to lately.

Sleep: You are still a rockstar sleeper.  You generally sleep 10-11 hours at night.  The past week you've woke up crying, but you always fall back asleep before I have to go get you out of your crib.  I'm wondering if you're working on a tooth in that mouth of yours.

Feed:  You normally eat a 6 oz bottle five times a day with rice cereal, oatmeal, fruit or veggies twice a day.  So far you've liked pretty much everything I've fed you.  Bananas are not your favorite, but if I give it to you with some cereal or oatmeal mixed with it, you'll eat it.

Weight: You haven't been weighed since your six month appointment, but you're most certainly over 18 lbs now.  I LOVE your chubby thighs and cheeks!

Length: You are one long baby!!  Most of your clothes are 9-12 months now and they fit great.

Diapers/Clothes: You are still in size 3 diapers and like I said above 9-12 month clothes.

Hair Color/Eye Color: Your hair is lightening up.  I think you'll be a blondie like your brother and sisters.  You have the perfect amount of hair covering your head now.  No bald spot.  Yeah!  Your eyes are still a beautiful blue.

Milestones: You are sitting up on your own, but I don't trust you enough to leave you alone.  You like to jerk backwards and I don't want you to hit your pretty little head.  So we sit you up on the ground in the corner of the couch and you'll sit there for quite a while playing.  You are also still rolling around the room.  You never stay where I put you.

Favorite toys: You love sitting up or laying on the floor chewing on baby toys.  Or really anything you can find.  You love Mommy's necklaces.  Your eyes get all big and you grab at them fast.

Firsts:

First overnight stay at Grandma's 07.13.12

First shopping trip alone with Mommy 07.31.12

Wow we must have had a boring month considering those are the only two firsts I can come up with.  We've been busy with work, back to school and life in general.  Hopefully we have some new exciting firsts coming up soon!

Mommy loves you Harper!
