Joanna hit the 7 month mark on September 12th. She is growing and learning new things faster than I can keep track! Here are some exciting new milestones and highlights from the past month:
Movement:
Traveling around the room (and her crib) by rolling
Gets up on all fours and creeps just a bit
Pulls herself up to stand when pulling on Mama
Walks across the room holding Mama's fingers
Eating:
Still nursing and has gotten pretty darn efficient!
HATES formula and HATES the bottle
Eating in her highchair (thanks Uncle Emmanuel and Auntie Afia!)
Eating lots of fruits and veggies, oatmeal and Cheerios
Drinking water out of a sippy cup with help tipping the cup back
Still no teeth but she sure is chewing and drooling away
Talking:
She's got the DaDa sound down but still has no idea what it means
In attempt to copy Mommy saying MaMa, she is now saying BaBa
Geeeee!!! is a new favorite
Play:
Loves pulling things out of of buckets
Learning how to open and close things
Favorite toys: an old remote control, Sophie the Giraffe, flip books
Sleeping
Finally settling into a daytime nap schedule
Down to 1 (occasionally 2) overnight feedings (Whoohoo!!!)
Has a few nights a week where she sleeps well! (and by well I mean she only wakes up 2 or 3 times. She still has a few nights a week where she wakes up several times and we just let her "cry it out."
Starting to deny the pacifier (one less sleep habit for me to have to break later!!!)
