7 months!

Elizabeth was 7 months old on the 26th! My baby is growing up so fast, time is flying by!

Stats: 16 lbs. 3 oz. Not sure how tall, but I think she's really gotten longer the last few weeks

Milestones: Sitting up without assistance, crawling, baby food: pumpkin, sitting in the basket in a grocery buggy

Behaviors: squeals and makes all kinds of funny noises, loves to roll or crawl everywhere, entertainer (she loves to be a ham when people are watching her!), making silly noises with her mouth

Sleep: Sleeps an average of 11 hrs a night!! Naps are a bit hit or miss, but usually she has 2- 1.5 hr (morning and afternoon) and 1 cat nap that is 45 min early evening

Clothes: 6 month. Her 6 month pjs are almost too small, wearing a couple 6-9 month pjs, but everything else is 6 month size. 

Likes: Chewing on everything! Pulling mommy's hair, chewing on straws and teething rings, sweet potatoes, pears, bananas, pumpkins, making silly noises, being tickled, holding her bottle (hasn't quite got the hang of what to do with it), moving, pulling down on her bumpers so she can see what's going on

Dislikes: when a toy is out of reach, peas, being confined

Favorite Moments: Crawling!!! Moving her crib down (she's such a big girl now!), staying with one of mommy's friends while mommy substituted at ECS, watching her become more independent, watching her really play with her toys and favor certain ones


Most Challenging: TEETHING! Bless her heart, no teeth have come in, but she sure is fussy, watching her more carefully now that she is moving

Looking forward to: AUNT STEPHANIE COMING HOME!!!! (11 days!), Kansas City trip in mid October to see grandparents!




Happy baby

6 months


On August 26th, Elizabeth turned 6 months. The last month (between the 5th and 6th month) was my favorite so far. She has such a fun little personality!

Stats: 15 lbs. 6 oz, 25 in. Her weight is still in the 25-50 percentile, head is 50-75 percentile, and height is 50 pecentile. 

Milestones: Sitting up for a few second (mostly still with help), moving in circles to get to where she wants to go, five new kinds of baby food- Bananas, sweet potatoes, peas, apples, and pears

Behaviors: super busy all the time, everything goes in her mouth, loves to talk and babble, smiles at everyone

Sleep: Sleep is great! Sleeps an average of 11 hrs a night!! She even slept great when we went to Georgia over Labor Day.

Clothes: 6 month. Her 6 month pjs are almost too small, but everything else is 6 months size. 

Likes: Chewing on everything! She loves chewing on straws and teething rings, sweet potatoes, pears, bananas

Dislikes: when a toy is out of reach (tough life!) ,peas and apples. She is getting used to them but still doesn't care for them. 

Favorite Moments: First sleep over at Mimi and Big Dawgs, Road trip to GA for Labor Day, trying different baby foods

Most Challenging: This month was pretty challenge free! Like I said, my favorite month so far. (However, month 7 and proved to be challenging, stay tuned for that update ;) ). 



Elizabeth didn't quite understand that it was nap time!

Who knew tissue paper could be so fun?!

Somebody is super excited to be 6 months!

I want to feed myself, mom!

Go Dawgs!
