SEVEN MONTHS | MILESTONE PICTURES
Nora is seven months old!! Goodness.. time needs to slow down.
This month Nora:
- Started sitting unassisted! Yay Nor! She is doing great and has only had a fall or two. 😅
- Said her second word “dada!” So cute! She still says Mama more though.. 😂
- Loves knocking over block towers and taking all of the boys toys as her own. She’s real into Paw Patrol pups at the moment and chooses those over her toys every time! Haha
- LOVES when we actually let her eat food.
- Has tried: chicken, broccoli, noodles, rice, a roll, veggie straws, Mac and cheese, applesauce, banana, and puffs. Once she started sitting up we were ready to start baby led weaning with her but then she got sick and so we held off since her gag reflux was extra strong with all the mucous she had. So, she’s a bit behind all of the foods the boys had tried their first month of eating but she is always eager to try whatever we give her!
- Has started pulling up on her knees a few times! Little girl just wants to grow right on up!
- Finally consistently holds her bottle and it is so nice. Haha. We also moved her to a size 2 nipple after our friends pointed out how long it took her to eat.. oops. Poor girl was using a preemie and size 1 nipples this whole time but really never complained. Just took foreverrrrrr to eat.
- Is in 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers
- Moved to her own room!! She did really good with the adjustment and I have loved using her nursery annnnnnd being able to have my light on while I get ready for bed. Haha!
- Has her hair growing in fuller and redder by the day! It’s getting fluffy in spots and it’s so cute! Can’t believe I have two red-headed children!
- Had her first ear infection and another cold! Dang it! She handled it like a champ and was so patient with all of the nose sucking and medicines.
- Drank through a straw! She did pretty dang good with our weighted straw cup which is NOT easy. We also tried the honey bear cup and she liked that too!
This month we:
- Celebrated Christmas! Nora’s first, Ev’s third, and Clyde’s fourth!! We had so much fun doing all of the holiday things. We had a couple friend parties, Clyde’s preschool program, decorated a gingerbread truck, went and visited Santa’s house, went to Hale and saw Little Mermaid with Gaga, made our traditional caramel pretzels and spent lots of time with family!
- Went to the cabin after Christmas! We almost got stuck in all of the snow up there but my grandparents helped our little van out and we had a wonderful time with family! The kids especially loved playing in the snow and sledding together!
- Had a little scare with Clyder. He ended up at Primary’s with a crazy viral reaction/anaphylaxis.. they’re still not entirely sure what happened. But it was scary and sad and all the things. He is doing much better now thankfully, so now we just need to continue weaning him off the medicine regimen they set up for him and get him into an allergist.
Here’s this month in pictures..
