Seven Months

Our little sweetie is turning 8 months next week, but here is a re-cap of what Miss Madison has been up to in her 7th month...

Madison Grace, 7 months

*Eating... She has been eating three meals a day, usually oatmeal with a fruit, a veggie and fruit for lunch, and mostly veggies for dinner. Her faves are sweet potatoes, green beans, peas and apples so far. Little Miss can feed herself puffs, and loves her mum-mum crackers. We introduced the sippy and she hasn't quite figured out how to use it, but enjoys drinking water when we help her out.

*Sleeping...Mommy and Daddy had to get tough on sleep training this month, and she has been doing fantastic!! She wakes only 1 or 2 times per night, usually around 11pm and/or 4am, and eats (both sides) and goes back to sleep and will wake up between 6-7am. This is especially wonderful because she is teething too. For both my girls, sleeping through the night (7pm-6am) didn't happen magically... it took lots of sleep training and consistency. I know Maddie can go all night, but at this point, I can't (too full!). Waking up one time a night is pretty nice...I think I will keep it!!

Taking a ride in Sissy's car. She thought she was big stuff!

*Physical Development...Growing girl! She has just begun to wear 9 month clothes. Most of her six month clothes still fit, but they are tight or high-waters. I am hoping the weather doesn't change too much in the next four weeks so I can find her 9 month hand-me-downs from Lindsay. She has begun to move from her tummy to her knees, and has almost figured out how to from sitting position to her tummy. Maddie has begun waving (about 1/2 the time) and loves to make noise.

*Personality...Our girl loves water, and has fun splashing. Ever since she was a tiny baby, she would quiet with the sound of water. Maybe we have a future swimmer? She is quite the sassafrass, and will arch her back and throw herself down and fuss when she is ready for a change of scenery.

Is there anything cuter than naked baby tush?! Really?

*Appearance... Madison has cut her first tooth!! It's her bottom right tooth, and she has been making us laugh with all the funny faces she has been making, rubbing her tounge against it! Her little hair is super straight, and downy-soft. It sticks up right now, but as it gets longer, it will lay down nicely like Lulu's did. Besides the color, she has Daddy's hair!

Mama's Girl!

Love you baby girl!! Here's a splashing video... Enjoy!
