7 Month Pictures

Well, That Made Me Laugh!

Gerber has a menu planner that you can design specifically for your child based on their activity level, age and whether they are drinking formula or not. I decided to see if I was feeding Elianna correctly. Apparently I am not. They have her eating a ton more food than what I am feeding her. She barely eats what I give her sometimes so I can't imagine trying to feed her more. I guess that's why she is so skinny (Note to self: eat less and you will be skinnier). Anyway, I digress.

When I typed in her information: birthdate, formula only, and the crawling stage - it gave me this message.

Harley & Me - 7 Months

Hello from Snuffleville. These big teeth got me and now I've got the snuffles and it is no fun!

Here is what I'm up to these days!

*I weigh 18 pounds and am 28 1/2 inches long (I grew 1 1/2 inches this last month!).

*I have moved up to a size 3 diaper.

These are some things I like:

*I love standing and pulling myself up onto things. It is especially fun to stand in my crib. Harley usually comes over and licks my fingers making me laugh so much!

*I like laughing and squealing and, sometimes, even screaming. I've found my voice! It can only get louder from here!

*I love my dog! Harley so enjoys licking me and I enjoy climbing all over him and pulling his hair. The other night in nursery I got a little mixed up and pulled a little boys hair. Oops!

These are some things I do NOT like:

*I do not like being confined. It scares me something fierce and I freak out! Papi says I must be claustrophobic like Mommy.

*I'm not real fond of others holding me if Mommy is around. She gets a little frustrated but I'm working on it and doing a little better. Well, except when I'm real tired and then I want Mommy and Mommy only and that's that.

I'm doing pretty good at crawling over to things and pulling myself up. Sometimes I even forget and I let go which usually results in my falling down. Gotta remember to hold on until I can stand solely by myself. Maybe by this time next month, I'll be able to report that I'm standing by myself and possibly taking a step or two.

Hair You Go

Elianna is finally getting some hair although it has all the signs of a mullet-in-the-making. Nonetheless we have some hair!
