Kayla's 7 Month Update

 

Happy 7 Months to Miss Kayla Grace!  Here is what she is doing at 7 months...

*She loves smiling at her big brother.  She has even started to laugh at his silliness for the first time which is SO.MUCH.FUN! 

*She has the sweetest spirit and the best little grin!  I don't really know how to put it into words, you will just have to trust me that it really is the sweetest ever!

*She is a great eater and has yet to meet a food that she didn't like.  She eats after her 11am feeding and 5pm feeding.  I am making her baby food and so far she has had avocados, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, bananas, yellow squash, peas, carrots, pumpkin and oatmeal. 

                                        
*She has no problem getting a toy that is out of her reach.  She will roll, get on her hands and knees and lunge forward, and has recently started inching herself forward in an army crawl fashion.  She is sooo close to crawling...we think anyway. 

*She cut her bottom 2 teeth and whew that was no fun for anyone.

*She nurses 4 (sometimes 5) times a day and once early in the morning around 4-5am then goes right back to sleep. 

*I think she might be in the process of dropping her 3rd nap.  Lately her 2nd nap has been so long most days that she doesn't need the 3rd one.  She naps great at home but seems to struggle when we are at someone else's house.  She is in bed by 6:15pm for the night and is up between 7am and 8am for the day. 

*She is doing really well sitting up but I still like to put the Boppy around her to help break her fall. 

All her toys and this empty wipes package is her very favorite thing to play with right now. 

Sweet Pumpkins...

 

 

 

It was a little breezy this day and Kayla was in awe watching the leaves blowing all around. 

Watching the Broncos with Aunt Anna.

 

*Most days we try to get out for a walk and/or a trip to the park.  Gotta take advantage of this fall weather before the snow comes. 

 

 

 

 

Joshua likes for Kayla to go in the tunnel with him.  He also loves taking her down the small slide, with my help of course.

She loves, loves the Moby!   She goes limp and becomes dead weight when in the Moby.  She hardly moves or makes a sound. 

 

*She loves watching her big brother.   As you can see he takes very good care of her.  One day she was crying as I was changing her diaper and Joshua came over and as he was loving on her said, "I will protect you!"  AWE!

I am starting to think that when they are both on the floor doing their own thing Kayla thinks they are really playing together.

We are all so in love with this sweet face!
