Happy 7 months, Anna!

Seven sweet months with our Anna girl! As tends to be the case, the past month feels like the fastest yet. Anna has charmed us all and we love getting to know her little personality.

Diaper: size 3 & 4
Clothing: 9, 12 month

Likes: reaching for a toy, grabbing what's in your hand, being tickled, being serious, dancing, bouncing, her fingers
Dislikes: being hungry, being squished, bottles

Eating: Anna is going strong with rice cereal and still getting a little less messy. We added oatmeal cereal to her diet and plan to add more festive foods later this month. She continues to nurse well and regularly.

Sleep: Oh, sweet sleep. Anna slept through the night several times, then caught a cold that lasted about a week and had her up regularly throughout the night, and is now back to a normal once-a-night wake time. I am very hopeful that as her cough passes she will start sleeping consistently. Finding her fingers seems to have made all the difference!

Routine: We love predictability!

7:30 First feeding of the day (nurse and cereal)
9:00 Nap
11:00 Wake and nurse
12:30 Nap
2:30 Wake and nurse
4:00 Nap (usually a shorter one)
(sometimes a 5:00ish feeding)
7:00 Nurse and down for bed
9:00-10:00 Nurse and back to bed for the night

Physically: Anna's eyes continue to be a dark, deep blue. Her hair is seems to be getting a little longer, but has yet to really take off. What she has doesn't appear to be particularly curly. She rolls all over and does a lot of spinning around. One of our favorite stories of the month was that Lydia dropped a piece of peanut butter sandwich on Anna's quilt. Anna rolled over and picked up the sandwich and squeezed the life out of it. Once I pried it out of her peanut butter covered fingers, they went straight in her mouth. It seems she doesn't have a peanut allergy!

Next appointment: March 29, 2017 10:45am




Fingers seem to be the theme this month!



She gets a lot of sibling love :)


Our first trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum


Sarah said she needed to take a picture of Anna with sunglasses to put on the front of a birthday card. It's true! Babies in glasses tend to make it to the card isle.


At the end of a long day, double the fingers, please.

tickles for giggles


She is a big girl at Chick Fil A these days.
