Seven Month Update

Seven months old on 3/22/13

The time keeps on flying by!  Last Friday I turned 7 months old!  I got to spend the evening with Aunt Hilary while Mommy and Daddy went out with some of their friends for something called March Madness...  I think it has something to do with basketball and a big red and blue bird. :)  Guess I'll learn more about it when I'm older!

Seven Month Habits

Eating: I LOVE eating solid food!  I now usually have 4 feedings/bottles of breastmilk per day about every 4 hours of 6-8oz each, and then I also eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  For breakfast I have pureed fruit and oatmeal cereal, for lunch pureed veggies and sometimes cereal, and for dinner pureed meat/veggies and pureed prunes (They help me poop!  I know, TMI!).  I've also started eating a few Cheerios and Puffs using my hands, but it's hard work picking them up and getting them in my mouth!  I prefer it when Mommy or Daddy just put the spoon in my mouth.  :)  My favorite foods are sweet potatoes with pork and apples, prunes, and pear/apple sauce with cinnamon.

Sleeping:  I go to bed at about 7-7:15 and usually still sleep through the night until about 6am, unless I'm sick like I have been the last few days.  :(  I take 2 naps a day, one in the morning around 9am and another in the early afternoon around 1pm.  I still usually nap longer at home (1-2 hours each) than at day care (45 min - 1 hour each most days).

Play/skills:  I've gotten super attached to my "lovey" blankets.  My monkey lovey is my favorite.  I still love to put absolutely everything in my mouth.  I've gotten really good at rolling over and pivoting around on my tummy.  I can sit up pretty well by myself now when I want to, but sometimes I don't feel like it and I just lean over.  Mommy lets me practice sitting up with my back to the couch and pillows beside me so that way if I decide to fall over, I land on soft pillows.  It's pretty fun, actually!  I like to sit there while I watch my Baby Signing Time video or play with my music table that Aunt Hilary gave me.  I still like to talk a lot, and I still love reading books with Mommy and Daddy.  I like to try to grab the pages of the books by myself now.  Maybe I'll be reading someday soon.  :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Today I celebrated my first St. Patrick's Day!  My Hussey family is Irish, so it's a very big holiday for us!  There's a big parade in Savannah where my GiGi and Daideo live, but we didn't get to go this year.  Hopefully next year!

Instead, I went to a birthday brunch with Mommy, Aunt Hilary, Nana, and Great Grandma Barb to celebrate February and March birthdays.  Great Grandma Barb's birthday is at the end of February, and then Mommy's and Nana's are both in March.  We went to a place called Mimi's Cafe.  It was fun hanging out with the girls (minus Aunt Merf).  I had a great time trying to grab everything off the table! :)

Ready for my lunch.  Can I eat my sock?

Then, I went home and took a nap, and after that we had a family birthday dinner for Mommy's birthday which was last Thursday.  I got the stomach flu on Mommy's birthday (so yucky!), so we pretended it was her birthday today instead!  I got to play with Nana and Aunt Hilary again, and this time Papa T and Uncle Jake came, too.  It was really fun, but by bed time I was super tired!

Can't wait to walk in the parade next year with Daddy in Savannah!  This year we're going to Savannah for Easter instead, which is in 2 weeks.  I'm super excited!
