Janie: 7 months old

janie girl (1 of 1)

I feel like a lot happened this month with our little miss.

- We got her out of the swaddle.  After that many months of wrapping her up to sleep, it’s so nice to not!  I love seeing her roll and scoot around in her crib.  She has a few stuffed animals in there that she plays with when she wakes up happy!

- She’s going to bed earlier!  Hallelujah.  That 3rd snooze disappeared and so she started going to bed between 7-8pm and it’s magical.

- She was a HORRIFIC sleeper for the first half of this month and then something clicked and she is so much better!  She was sleeping through the night a number of times a week or she is just up once.  Like I said, a breakthrough month.

- She loves to eat.  She will still eat baby food but loves “real” food too.

- Loves her brothers.

- She waves hi and bye.

- She wants to move.  Bad.  This whole sitting in one place is getting old.

- She got the flu!  It was so sad to see her barf so much.  No baby should have to endure that.  Or mama.

-  She’s had some cranky times this month.  She is very protective of her lower gums – she jams her tongue down there any time I try to see so it’s hard to see how swollen her gums are.  Teeth perhaps?

-  Ryan was pushing her in her little red car and got going a little too fast.  She has a pretty cute sad face.

-  She gets shy!  When she’s being held and someone says hi, she buries her face in your chest.  Pretty cute.

-  She gets at least one “look at those eyes” comments a day.  She’s got some pretty blues.

- Her little bum is constantly in pain.  It’s raw . . . no matter how many different diaper creams I try!

- She knows when she has been left alone and doesn’t like it.

- She gets MAD when you take her food away.

Love this girl.
