Latest Tricks

The past month Abigail has been doing several tricks.  She loves to unfold the laundry that I have already folded.  

She is really getting a kick out of this

Abby also loves to put her foot in her mouth

7 Months

7 Month Stats 

Weight:
Length:
Head: 

Eating: Abby is down to nursing about 4 times a day, really slowing down because she is getting more full with solids.  Solids are going very well, still purees but we have experimented with a lot of fruits and vegetables.  For breakfast (at around 9, she nurses first thing in the morning) she eats 3 Tbsp of oatmeal with milk and cinnamon and then either apple, pear, mango or bananas.  For dinner her favorites are fruit and vegetable mixes such as carrots and mangos, peas and pear, spinach and pear, and sweet potato.  I can't wait for her little taste palette to develop more!

Bedtime: Around 8:00 pm 
Awake: Around 7:00 am
Naps: Abby has transitioned from 3 naps a day to 2.  On a good day she will nap for an hour in the morning around 9:30 to 10:30 and then an afternoon nap from 2-4, sometimes later 3-4:30 or so.  

Diapers: Size 3, Tried Pampers dry which I liked

Clothes:  Some 12 months, 18 months for PJs and most brands.  Abby had a major growth spurt and now the 18 month pants fit her the best. 

Favorites: 
Loves Mommy's drink--especially with a straw.  Enjoys watching her puppy brother Charlie run around and likes petting him.  
Favorite toys: teething Monkey (from Gigi), Jacques the Peacock, tupperware and linkables, crinkle books--she got a new Winnie the pooh one, wire football, crinkle blocks, stackable rings, her i-phone and remote control.  

Latest Tricks: 
Babbling a lot, started to say "Dadada" and "Gagaga."  Rolling over a lot from her stomach to back then she gets a little frustrated when she is on her back, kinda like "now what?" Starting to show an interest in crawling, moves herself backwards a little.  She is very into everything now--especially electronics like my i-phone and i-pad.  She has her own i-phone toy that she likes very much but it doesn't beat Mom's phone.  Pulls on Mommy's necklace and shirt.  
Is now able to sit in the restaurant high chairs and even eats dinner when we go out to eat.  

Happy Valentine's Day

We celebrated Valentine's Day at home.  We had fun doing a photo shoot.
