Amelia @ 7 months

This past month Amelia has really transitioned out of the newborn phase in my eyes.

 At 7 months:

  • She is sitting on her own. She sits in the floor and actually plays with toys.
  • loves to jump in her Johnny Jump Up
  • She is still nursing but has added quite the repertoire of solid foods.  She has tried and loves: avocado, kale, applesauce, pear sauce, carrots, green beans, asparagus, zucchini, sweet potatoes, bananas, chicken, cantaloupe, cheerios. 
  • has started sitting up in the bath tub and it has made baths 100% more enjoyable. She has even taken a few baths now with Oliver and thinks it is the best thing. Oliver puts on quite a show for her with his splashing and swimming and she finds it hysterical. 
  • She is quite the chatterbox.  She loves to make noises and babble. She even says dada though she doesn't really assign it to Jeremy yet.
  • Unlike her brothers, she doesn't transfer from the car to the house if she is asleep. :(  She seems to take a lot of mini naps during the day due to her brothers' schedules.
  • is a bit of Mommy's girl (and I don't really mind it!)
  • loves to take her socks off
  • puts everything in her mouth, including her feet.
We love our little lady and feel so blessed to have her as part of our family!

  • has a 43 cm head (60%)
  • has just started wearing 6-9 month clothes
  • is still nursing every 3-4 hours
  • sleeping through the night
  • started eating solids about a week ago... we started with avocado and she loved it! She never spit it back out and just kept on going.  She was ready for some food!
  • loves sitting in the high chair at the table with us for meals
  • has started sitting up on her own
  • loves her brothers and will smile super big when they talk to her. 
This month she also celebrated her first Christmas!
