Anna turned 7 months!

Miss Anna turned 7 months on Christmas Day so it was slightly overshadowed ;) She is working on her sitting and does well, but still topples when reaching for toys so we still put pillows around her. I helped her get into crawling position the other day and she seemed very intrigued, so we'll see when she discovers it on her own....I'm in no rush, believe me!!

Anna also talks and babbles a lot, just like her brother did, but just a little less boisterous :) She is still my chill baby but will let you know when she wants something!!

We have stopped giving her solids as she had a couple days of constipation that made her miserable. I will try again in a week or two and see how things go. Her weight has slowed down some, but I do think she is getting taller! She weighs 18 lbs. 4 oz. and her brother weighed 22 lbs. 4 oz. at 7 months!! Her feet are close to hanging over the car seat edge so we'll have to keep an eye on her height to change her to her new seat.

In looking back at Eli's post at around this age, I wrote so MUCH about his sleep issues. It is so amazing to not be worrying about sleep with Anna. I knew from day 1 that I was okay with co-sleeping and that has given me great comfort. She had slept with me for the first few weeks of her life and then went in her packnplay until about a month ago when we started co sleeping again. If in another month she seems to prefer her own space, she'll go back in her packnplay or crib, but I am just fine with co-sleeping. The knowledge and peace of the second time around is awesome :)

Now for some pictures of our cutie pie!

She loves to show off her teeth. Her top 2 are SO close to popping through!!

It was snowing during her 7 month photo shoot in her room and she loved watching it fall!

Mr. Eli at 7 months

Anna's 0-6 month photo collage is complete! Love these collage frames we found for each of them.

I would guess by next month she will have 2 more teeth, will be sitting independently, lunging and starting to get into crawl position, and food will sit much better in her tummy. She may even be in her new car seat!
