7 Months Old!

Emma: Week 31

* Size 2 diapers, size 6 & 6 - 9 month clothes
* No weight gain in 3 weeks.
* Spitting up with apple juice (to help with her constipation problem) and the juice isn't helping.
(We have cut out rice and bananas and thinned out food to help.)
* Breakfast: 2 - 3 ounces of oatmeal, with a little fruit mixed in.
* Lunch: 1 ounces of fruit (usually peaches)
* Dinner: 3 ounces of vegetables/fruit
* Quite a challenge to take Emma's 7 month pictures since she was moving all over the place!
* Foods introduced: prunes (yummy!), rice puffs (yummy!)
* Tailgated with us in Athens on Saturday; Emma did great and had fun too!
* Let Emma cry herself to sleep so that bedtime would be shorter for mom/dad. She cried 1/2 hour the first night and it's been much better ever since!

Emma: Week 30

Go Dawgs!

Emma enjoyed the first UGA football game by going over to Grammy and Grandpa's house; here are some pictures of our little cheerleader!

Emma: Week 29

* No weight check this week.
* Loves peas and peaches.
* Likes to have conversations with the teddy bear.
* Looks like such a big girl in jeans!
* Pulling up to her on knees.
* Had to put away her swing and bouncer seat. Emma was strapped in the bouncer seat while I was getting dressed. She was reaching for a toy and flipped the whole thing over, with Emma facing the ground. She wasn't hurt and was laughing about it. We have a mischievous one!

* No sign of teeth.

Emma: Week 28

* Size 2 diapers. 6 month clothes.
* Weighs 15lbs 6 oz.
* Emma and I were in a car accident this week while I was driving the truck. Fortunately, we are okay; it did scare the heck out of me when Emma started screaming after impact due to her nap being short-lived. No bumps or bruises on us but the truck suffered damage to the back.
* Emma and I will be staying close to home due to having one car for the time being.
* Finally settling down into a routine after her shots last week. The shots seemed to cause a little grumpiness, and less naps last week.

* Enjoys being outside and likes to touch grass when laying on the blanket. Emma doesn't attempt to eat it just yet.
* Likes to stand but needs help getting into the position and she needs to hold on to something.
* Scooting and rolling around.

* Still working on the sippy cup.
