Baby E 7 1/2 months







Where does the time go? Baby E is growing up fast. She sits, she plays, she puts anything into her mouth that she can. She loves to pull hair, to play in her exersaucer, and loves her big sisters. She eats baby cereal three times a day and lots of fruits and veggies. Surprisingly enough, she doesn't like pears, but we haven't given up on them just yet. She's tall... at her 6 month check up she was 85% for height and 35% for weight. I have no idea what she weighs or measures now, but all her 6-9 one-piece suits are stretched at the toes and the onesies are pulling at her shoulders, but then we have to roll the waistbans of her jeans because they're too loose. Dresses and leggings are her best friends right now... they're so forgiving. She is the smiliest baby and has the most infectious laugh. Her only obvious weakness at this point is she is still a horrible sleeper. She's still waking up at midnight, 3 and 5, much to the detriment of her mother. I finally added a scoop of formula and some water to some milk I had pumped to help her last a little longer. She made it to 4am, but unfortunately my body is used to waking up, so I was wide awake from 2 until 3:30, only to wake up a half hour later. She is a joy and we're so grateful she is a part of our family.
