Amelia- 8 Months

Height: 28 inches

 

Weight: 17 pounds(??)

 

Clothes: you wear 9 month/6-9 month old clothes

 

Diaper: size 3

 

Eating: You still love food! You still eat baby food but you get to enjoy "big people food" also at dinner time. You've had bananas, meatloaf,  hotdogs, rice, chicken, mushrooms, zucchini, mashed potatoes and rolls. You LOVED them all, especially the potatoes & mushrooms. You get very angry when people are eating food around you and don't give you any.

 

Sleeping: You officially sleep in your crib. It was rough for momma to move you to your room but you've done great. It hasn't affected your sleeping schedule at all.

 

Happening this month:

 

-You got your first 2 teeth!

 

-We went cherry picking with Oma! You had so much fun. Daddy gave you a taste of the tart cherries.

 

-You "monkey" crawl now! You use your arms and try to "walk" with the one leg while crawl with the other leg. It gets you around the house & where you need to be.

 

-You LOVE standing and pulling yourself up. Anything & everything is used to help you stand.

 

-We went to a wedding! One of Daddy's fraternity brothers got married (AJ & SAM!). You had fun being passed around by all of daddy's brothers.

 

-You are officially done with physical therapy. Ms. Alyssa said your clavicle break doesn't seem to affect you at all. Yay! :]]

 

-We went to the cottage with Grandma in Waupaca. You enjoyed playing in the lake with mommy, daddy, Grandma, Uncle Matt & Aunt Nicole.

Amelia is 7 Months

Oh goodness! Where has the time gone? Amelia Lee, you're 7 months old already! You've brought so much joy into our lives already these past 7 months. I'm so excited to watch you continue to grow.

Height: 28 inches

 

Weight: 17 pounds

 

Clothes: you wear 6-9 month old/9 month old clothes

 

Diaper: size 3

 

Eating: You LOVE food! You get very upset when you're food is all gone for the meal. We never have to worry about you not wanting to eat. You've been eating baby foods and you've had rolls (which you LOVED!)

 

 

Sleeping: We haven't switched you to your crib yet, you still sleep in the bassinet in our room. You go to bed between 7-8pm, wake up to feed around 10pm, and then go back to bed until (normally) 6am.You still take an am nap, an afternoon nap, and a little "cat" nap after dinner.  

 

 

Happening this month:

 

-you decided it was important to start "crawling" before you turned 7 months. One day before you turned 7 months, you start to army crawl. You pull yourself with your arms and push with your legs. You can't quite seem to figure out the whole crawling process yet so army crawling is how you get around.

 

-You started swimming lessons this month & you LOVE them! You definitely love being in the water and splashing around. 

 

-Your love of water also means that you LOVE bath time now! You love getting to play with your water toys and splashing in the water.  

 

-We celebrated the 4th of July at Grandma's house! You had so much fun playing in the water and being with family.

 

-You are such a happy baby. You LOVE being with your mommy & daddy. And playing with your puppies.

 

-You're starting to interact with your friends at daycare and you love to chat/play with them.

 

Happy 7 Months Miss Amelia! We can't wait to watch you grow each month.

 

xoxo
