7 Months

Lydia just reached the 7 month mark and all of a sudden she seems older. Maybe it's because I came home from work this past weekend and Kyle had gotten the highchair and the jumperoo set up. Or perhaps it's because we finally started feeding her solid foods! Regardless, Lydia is still a super happy, super content little kiddo who just goes with the flow!

Sleeping: Due to the inconsistency of our schedule, we don't have a set routine when it comes to naps, but bedtime seems to be getting more structured. She is usually in bed now by about 8:00 and will sleep until somewhere between 8-8:30 if I don't have to wake her up to get ready to bring Annaliese to school. She will usually take two good naps, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each lasting 1-2 hours and then a short nap around dinner time. 

That's my "Seven Months" sticker she's eating...

 Eating: We recently began solid foods, and so far she's liked just about everything. We started with avocado followed by sweet potatoes. She did well with the avocado and spit the sweet potatoes out right away! Since then we've tried pears, bananas, applesauce, cheerios, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and a bit of our steak fajitas. The PB&J was accidental...Lydia got her hands on Haleigh's leftover sandwich and she loved it!! 
   As far as nursing goes, I feed her about 5 times during the day. She is still nursing really well, but she also takes a bottle with no problems! 

Most food doesn't quite make it into her mouth!

Working on that PB&J!

Activities: Lydia is pretty content to do just about anything that anybody else is doing. I will frequently just sit her on the floor by Annaliese and Haleigh with a few toys in front of her and she is good to go! She also loves her jumperoo, bathtime, eating her toes, and putting just about anything into her mouth. Thankfully, she isn't making any attempts to crawl yet. In fact, I rarely see her roll over! Except for in her crib... the last several days she's been on her stomach when I went in to get her!
