Emma's 7 Month Stats

I accidentally knocked her down and she bumped her head before this picture
Paci made it better

All stuffed animals go straight to her mouth

Smiley again!

Weight: unknown, we guess around 17 pounds.

Height: LONG! We are about to move her up to the next car seat because she is so long!

Eating: Four 6-7 oz breast milk bottles a day (at 8 a.m., noon, 4 pm. and 7:00 p.m.) , three "meals" a day (at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.). Emma is eating all baby food and is really enjoying the organic pureed food that my friend Ashley is making her. She loves advocado, and jello too! This week she will drink the last of the breast milk and we will switch to formula. I started introducing her to formula bottles a few weeks ago and she has taken them just fine. Not a picky girl.

Sleeping: We have moved into a great schedule that allows two good naps for Emma. She takes a 2 hour morning nap and a 2 hour afternoon nap now. It is the same schedule that Ryan had from 6 months to 2 years. Emma's bedtime is between 7 p.m. now. and she usually sleeps in until 8 a.m. She is usually sitting up playing when we hear here and go to get her. We quit using a monitor, so now if she wakes up in the night to play we do not hear her and she puts herself back to sleep. Such a good girl. She naps now from 10-12 and 2-4.

Size: 9 month and 12 month clothing, Size 3 diapers, Size 3 shoes

Newest Accomplishment: CRAWLING! (I can't believe it! She started doing this at 6.5 months. Amazing.), able to sit unsupported forever, able to transition from sitting to belly and crawling and back to sitting, says "da da", slowly getting the hang of a sippy cup of water, able to feed self finger foods
Likes: Graduate Puffs, her new Sunday School class, playing with other kids, all dogs, sitting on play mat playing with Ryan, Giddy up Horsie, being tickled, playing crawling hide and seek, stuffed animals, books, snuggling, mirrors

It is hard to keep her on her back to change her diaper

She loves that baby in the mirror!

So do I!

The Murph lets her pull his hair and whiskers all day

She is so busy now.

Emma's idol

These girls love firetrucks!

Lots of playing!

And lots of things in the mouth!

She sits like this a lot.

CRAWLING!

Quick transitions.

My sweet, sweet pea!

She is always so happy to see me when I get home from work.

Pretty sisters

Chris took this one night after Emma broke out in a rash and got really puffy.

We think it was because she ate eggs from Ryan's breakfast tray.

Chris gave her Benadryl and she slept well!

After her 7:00 p.m. bottle!

Tired girl after falling asleep in her swing.

(I think that was her third time to be in it!)
