So, Emma is 7 months old already. Actually she's almost 7 months and one week. The time is just a flying by. Emma is becoming even more talkative, and she is sitting on her own now. She is eating solids and has two teeth now.
We finally have a sleeper now as well. Usually, we bathe Emma, feed her, and then lay her in her crib around 7-7:30 and she will sleep until 5 or 6 am, which is a good 10 hours. It is much better than the getting up every four hours that we used to do!
Emma is not crawling yet, but I am sure she will be before we know it!
Emma's likes:
-Breastmilk/Formula- I stopped Breastfeeding this month- so we are feeding her a combination of breastmilk and formula, which is going really well
-Bath time- Emma gets mad at us when we take her out of the tub!
-Bananas, squash. sweet potatoes, peas, pears, peaches, green beans, carrots- Pretty much every type of baby food we have tried with her, she has enjoyed. She is really learning how to eat well.
-Playtime- Emma loves to play. She puts about every toy in her mouth, or bangs it against something else. She enjoys anything that makes noise or lights up as well.
-Her crib. Sometimes she just enjoys laying in her crib and babbling for a while before she falls asleep.
-Car rides- Likes to sleep during the car ride.
-Shopping trips. Emma really likes to look around at everything when we are out and about in a store. As long as she can look around, she is entertained for the outing.
-Being thrown in the air. She loves being thrown up and then caught. Of course I don't throw her too high, but she loves it!
-Pacifier- She still likes this thing, especially at night. But she needs it a little less during the day.
Emma's Dislikes:
-Her highchair. She likes it just long enough to eat some baby foods, and then she has had about enough.
-Being taken out of the tub and changed into pajamas. She gets cold and usually by this time she is just generally tired and cranky.
-Being over tired. This is a scary sight, and we try really hard to avoid it.
There has also been some firsts during this month. Emma got her first illness. And we had to give her antibiotics for 10 days. I am sure this won't be the last time this winter we have sickness going on in our household.
As far as John and I, things have been going well. John started his new job a couple weeks ago at 9 Clouds and he really enjoys it. He also has been keeping busy with some photography appointments in the mean time.
I have basically been working and spending time with Emma. My parents and brother came to visit this last weekend, which is nice to spend some time together. And Emma always really enjoys it.
One a random note, the high for tomorrow is 4 and the low is -8. Wind chill of -20 to -30. Brr. That is fricken cold. Everyone try and stay warm!
