Adelaide turned seven months on Thursday the 13th. For us, seven
months is so exciting because she's over the half a year hump and it's
just a blink away before she's a year! Turning seven months has also
been very exciting for the three of us because Adelaide figured out so
many things in the last three days!
Wednesday night she
crawled for the first time, like legit crawled, to Tim. She is so
proud of herself as she goes, she just gets so excited that she's going
places! Now that she figured out how to use those legs in her favor,
she can also put herself into the sitting position. No more of her
getting frustrated and fussy because she's done doing tummy time.
Downer to this is when I laid her down for her nap she sat right back up
and cried and cried...She doesn't understand the concept of laying
herself back down so she can sleep. She can do it though. But this
also means we lowered her crib today! The thing she just started doing
that I am loving the most is snuggling. There's snuggling as falling
asleep...then there's snuggling just because it's nice to be close to
mamma. I love it. I'll be holding her, we'll be playing and she just
lays her head down on my shoulder and keeps playing. Melt my heart!
She
has two teeth. She might be teething again right now, but we're not
sure if it's just something shifting or if we'll get some more pearly
whites out of this. When she turned six months she finally got into 3-6
month clothes and in the one month she's been in them she has blasted
out of them and she is in 6 month clothes now. It's great to see her
growing like a weed! She does raspberries, ma-ma-ma-ma, ba-ba-ba-ba, and
clicking with her tongue. She just started smacking her lips when she
eats solids. Speaking of eating, when she's in her high chair (or
anywhere else for that matter) and her daddy walks in the room, that kid
just lights up! The whole time I'm trying to feed her and her dad is
in eyesight she wont eat because she's too busy smiling ear to ear at
her daddy.
Update on her time at daycare. She has really great
teachers. They are very attentive and very responsive to our concerns
and Adelaide's needs. We could not have found a better place for our
little girl. I feel like the staff are always coming up with new
developmentally appropriate and stimulating toys and activities for the
little ones because there are students there who have the passion still
burning! Adelaide is having a rough time with separation anxiety
though. The days she is at day care she does not sleep well. There's
just too much going on. So when she gets home she's exhausted and she
still gets worried about us leaving so she wakes up frequently
throughout the night to make sure we're still there. I feel so bad for
her. I wish I could just stay home with her, but that's not the reality
of things.
