Just like Peas and Carrots...: Emma is 7 Months

UT is undefeated for 2015. :)

Well baby girl.. I'm 3 days late in writing this. Time got away from me once again. We had such a great weekend and I didn't want to spend it on the computer. Every moment with you is precious and you are doing so many new things that I don't want to miss out on anything.

It snowed on Saturday so we played outside for all of 5 minutes, but you LOVED it (and so did your fur brother).

You are officially now in size 3 diapers and #3 nipples. We feed you 5 times a day, 6-7 oz of formula with food 3 times a day. You now want to feed yourself. You grab your bottle and take control almost every time. Also, you have started reaching for your spoon when we feed you in your high chair. Speaking of high chair, we started using it on Jan 11th and you took to it great! You LOVE it, actually! After you eat, you play for a least 10-15 minutes. So out with the old bumbo, in with the new high chair! Miss Independent!

Favorites Foods:

Baby Oatmeal with Bananas, Pears, Apples, Peaches, and Sweet Taters (see the sweet trend?), recently tried Apples and Spinach mixed and your LOVED it!

Not so Favorite Foods:

Squash, Carrots and Peas.

You are all about the teether toys. You will chew and play with them for hours on end. If you don't have a teether, you will eat your hand, so we prefer teether toys. You don't have any teeth yet, but I have a feeling we are not too far from them.

On Jan 8th you sat up for the first time on your own. It was so funny, we were playing with your piano on the floor and all of sudden I scooted back and you were just sitting there, like a little human. You look up at the TV and I thought for sure you would fall back, but you didn't. So yeah, just like... milestone complete. Sitting up like a big girl and you are loving every minute of it.

You are still loving your jumper. I'm pretty sure you would jump all day, which is fine with me because I can get things done around the house and it makes you happy (and strong). You also, like hanging out in your saucer and you have been scooting around in it (trying to get that walking thing figured out). You love standing with the help of me and your dad (and sometimes Moose and the couch). You are so strong, but I would prefer if you crawled before walking... ok... thanks!

A new thing we have been doing has been going to church at the West Franklin Baptist Church up the road. Service is at 10:45 and we take you to the nursery at 10:20. You cried the first time we dropped you off, but ever since then, you seem to take to it quite well. No crying because you are usually ready for your bottle and nap, which works out perfectly. The ladies that help out are always so sweet and take great care of you. This is good sign for daycare, Bug. It makes us really happy to see you adapt so well. We are looking at starting you (at least half time) at daycare when you turn 1. We are "shopping" around.

You are getting quite the personality little Miss. You are always focused on your toys and always trying to figure things out. Your daddy was like that as a baby and he turned out super smart, so let's continue on that path! You are also testing the volume of your voice by talking and screaming... and you will let someone know when you are not happy with the situation. You tend to get frustrated easily (especially with your Little Piggies toy) Little red-headed temper, I think. You might have gotten that from me. Sorry kid.. I guess it is payback for the way I was with Grammy and PawPaw.

Overall though, you are one very content and happy baby. You barely cry (unless you are hungry or tired) and you smile and giggle constantly. AND (mom and dad's favorite) you are still sleeping great (830p-645a).

Cute little Peanut.
