seven months!

So, baby girl is officially closer to being 1 year old than a newborn. Definitely bittersweet.  I love every moment with our Sweet Pea, I just wish time could slow down!!

This past month it seems like she is well on her way to being a big girl.  It really is the most amazing thing watching her grow and learn.

• She is 24 3/4 inches and is (approx) 15 lbs!
• She is still in size 2 diapers.  She wears 6 month and 3-6 month clothes (although I just had to put away her first 3-6 month sleeper).
• She loves to play with her feet and put them in her mouth.  She especially loves to play with them when she is eating, getting her diaper changed, or in her car seat.
• She is making lots of new noises. She giggles and "yells".  Her little personality is definitely starting to come out and it is the cutest thing ever!
• This is a big one... We introduced solids!!  She pretty much hated cereal... I tried mixing it with breast milk, fruits... No go.  I tried oat and rice.  Nada. The first things she liked was sweet potatoes! (This was my favorite as a baby too.) She did not like carrots or honeycrisp apples.  (I am making all of her food!) Other than sweet potatoes, she has liked avocado and banana.
• Really, really trying to crawl... Maybe next month! :)
• Not sleeping through the night anymore. :(  She wakes up every 2-3 hours.
• She got her FIRST TEETH!!! Both bottom two middle ones are in. Teething was not so fun for her, but glad she gets a little break before the next ones.

I think that is all the fun, new, and exciting stuff this month.  I love our Sweet Pea.  Here are some pictures from her 7 month birthday.  Enjoy!

 

Uesugi Farms in San Martin

Paul and I have always loved fall.  We couldn't wait for it to get here this year so that we could do all kinds of fun things with our Sweet Pea.  First on the list of course was her first trip to the pumpkin patch!!  We are lucky that we have such an awesome one near us.  Uesugi farms has a huge pumpkin patch and fun stuff for the kids.  There is a corn maze, train, hay ride, carousel, and more!  Although we had fun this year and got some super cute pictures of Peyton, it will be even more fun next year when she is bigger and can run around and play.

She really is 2 feet tall, she just wasn't standing up straight in the picture.

My loves!

Where's Peyton?

The family!

She wanted to eat the hay!

Our scores :)

6 months!

She is definitely one happy baby!

6 months have come and gone faster than I could have ever expected.  Half way to being ONE year old!  It is crazy how fast time goes by, and how fast she has grown.  She is her own little person now.  These last 6 months have been some of the greatest, ever.  I am so fortunate that I get to be home with our Sweet Pea to watch her grow.  Not missing anything is something that is absolutely priceless!

• She is 14 lbs 8 oz and 24 inches long!
• She is wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 or 6 month clothes.  There are still a few 3 month onsies that get into the rotation, but the 6 month ones just give her extra wiggle room.
• She is still trying to crawl.  She can get her legs under her and lift herself up... But just not at the same time, yet.
• She can scoot around... Pretty cute.
• She can sit up completely unassisted.  Although, she can topple over, so I am never far away.
• She loves to laugh and play.
• She loves the water, particularly bath time.  She will splish and splash until all the bath water is on the floor if we would let her.
• She loves being outside.  She gets excited when the breeze hits her.  (And now she even has enough hair for the wind to blow through it!)
• She really likes watching my cup if coffee brew in the morning. Not sure why, but it cracks her up. 

I am sure there is more... But, nothing that sticks out at the moment.  That, and well, playing with a 6 month old consumes most of my time and attention. Best thing, ever!  Love this little princess!!
