7 Months


How do we have a 7 month old!?  It seems like just yesterday we didn't know if we were having a boy or a girl! 

Weight: No idea...probably 15.5 or so

Diet:  Breastmilk, formula, peas, squash, sweet potatoes pears, apples, cucumbers, oat cereal, green beans, and prunes.

Sleep: Great.  Naps are becoming pretty consistent and nighttime is good too.  She typically takes a morning nap for an hour between 8-9, a catnap midday around 12 or so if we are out and about and then another hour to hour and a half between 3-5 somewhere.  After daylights savings we started to push bed time back a bit and its working in our favor.  We start bath time around 6:50, play or read for a bit, nurse and then bed time at 7:30.  She's usually up once between 2-3 to nurse and then back down until 7.  I'll take it! 

Health: Great.  

Baby Gear We're loving:
-baby Einstein jumper....still a bit too small for it but can tell it will be great
-piano play mat
-sofie the giraffe 
-stuffed bunny
-any teething toy she can get her hands on 
-Bob stroller
-crane humidifier 
-Ergo carrier
-bright stars stuffed elephant and giraffe with rubber feet for teething
-penguin mirror that she looks at during tummy time
-caterpillar wubbanub (paci)
-baby Einstein octopus (says colors in 3 different languages)
-Captain Calamari stuffed toy...her fav!  
-lots of books

Milestones/Firsts:  
-Sitting up!  We were waiting for this for a while now.  She loves tummy time so much and still inches down from a sitting position to be on her tummy but she's gotten so strong sitting up.

Nicknames:
pumpkin pie, sweetie pie, baby girl, silly Lily

 Postpartum: Feeling a bit tired lately but we've had a lot going on and work is getting busier.  Diet is going great. I'm down 10 lbs since Jan. 1st and that makes it 8 pounds less than where I was when I got pregnant.  Yay!  20 more to go...ugh.

 This mornings photo shoot was a bit challenging but I got some good ones.

    Jeni - thank you SO MUCH for doing this. I know you are crazy busy but I am so happy to see an update each time. You will be happy that you did it also when she gets older. I started out okay with a baby book, but when things got busy, I didn't keep up with it since I was the only one who saw it. This is better... all your readers keep you honest! I love all the pics and the updates. Can't wait to see you all in person (and dog) soon! Love ya!

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginatio...

21 Weeks

21 weeks Cooking time: 21 weeks, 1 day Weight gain: +4...I'm thinking from here on out it will probably be 1 pound a week since it was slow to come on in the beggining.  I think this is the ONLY time in my life that I've been called small by several people that know how far along I am.  I've struggled with weight since college, so maybe this is god's kind way of saying...you won't be one of those people who put on 50-60 pounds during pregnancy. Maternity clothes: oh yeah...I LOVE my grey maxi skirt from Target, I think I'll go grab the black one tonight :) Food cravings: red meat still...had a nice burger for lunch today and chocolate...I indulged in a bit too much Easter candy Food dislikes: frozen peas are the only thing I've found so far Missing: Sleeping through the night and beer...I've really been craving a nice cold beer latley and the non-alcholic stuff is crap so its not even worth the calories. What we've been up to: On Saturday ...

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that...
