7 Months

Age: 7 months Height: 24.75” at 6 months Weight: over 15lbs I’m sure Head: 40.5cm at 6 months Milestones: Avy can roll over onto either side. She get’s up on all fours and even does a pike often by pushing up keeping her arms and legs straight. She is army crawling to get to an object or toy that she wants. She is so close to crawling, just doesn’t have the hang of it yet. She is able to sit alone for a minute or two, but falls over and can’t get herself back up. She pulls herself onto her side and side sits, she just can’t push herself up to midline yet. She likes to jabber, but hasn’t said any defiant words. She does not really have a giggle, but makes a grunt laugh or squeal. She enjoys people watching when we go out. She also loves her daily walks and hikes. She loves taking baths and has learned how to splash the water with her hands and feet. Sleep: Avy is sleeping through the night. She goes to bed anywhere from 7:30 to 9:30 and will sleep for 8 to 10 hours. Her naps seem to fluctuate. She will usually take one in the morning and one in the afternoon from 1 hour to 3 hours. Best Moment: We are really starting to enjoy everyday with Avy. We love watching her curiosity and all the new things she is learning. The best moment is seeing her big smile in morning when she wakes up! Worst Moment: Avy’s GERD or acid reflux is getting better. I am giving her the medication once a day now instead of twice. She is spitting up a lot less so I’m hoping that we can discontinue the medication in the next month or so. Health: So far, no issues. Eating: Avy loves her veggies!! She eats an entire jar or sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, green beans, or peas depending on what we are feeding her that day. She is not too sure about fruit. We have introduced her to bananas, apples and pears, but she isn’t too sure about them. She continues to give her rice cereal in her bottles and she has now started chewing on rice crackers, which she loves. Teeth: Nope, but drooling a lot and consistently putting her hands in her mouth and chewing on toys. Extra comments: Avy is becoming so fun watching her learn new things and explore her curiosity.
