Now that Nora is almost 8 months old, I thought I should put up her 7 month post (I have been waiting to get the pictures ready... I'm a little slow)
Still as cute as can be and getting cuter everyday!!
She learned how to do a beauty queen wave. Everyone thinks
this is just so adorable! I’m not sure she knows what it means, but she
definitely knows it gets a great reaction so she keeps on wavin’.
She still hasn’t figured out how to crawl yet. She can rock
on her hands and knees but then she lets her legs fall. She can scoot backwards
and in circles, but hasn’t quite figured out the coordination to move forward.
She loves and I mean loves to eat! She is such a good eater.
We feed her solids twice a day (and sometimes she snitches some of our food
too). She pretty much will eat anything except for peas (but she’ll eat the
mixed veggies with peas in it... I am so sneaky). She loves the fruit though.
She really likes mashed bananas. She usually eats a jar of baby food and 1oz of
breast milk mixed with barley or oatmeal.
She also likes to eat the little snack puffs. She figured
out how to chew them, so she doesn’t just spit them out like before. She can’t
put them in her own mouth yet. When she picks them up, she just holds them in
her hand and can’t figure out how to get it from the palm of her hand to her
mouth. She did it once but I think it was an accident. She will learn.
She also got 2 teeth. Her bottom 2 teeth poked through this
month. She sure looks cute.
Because of these teeth, she is a drool monster. I thought
she was bad before, but now it is like a constant fountain!! Her clothes are
always soaked to her belly button!!
She loves to stand up. She would much rather be standing
than sitting or laying. She can grab my fingers and pull herself up to
standing. She hasn’t figured out that she has to hold on in order to stay up so
I only let her stand if a person is with her to hold her hands. She grabs the
couch or her crib, but has taken a couple bad tumbles so I want her to learn to hold on on her own
before I will let her stand by herself.
She loves when other babies are around. She really likes
when Hannah and Ali come over. She might be a pill all morning, but as soon as
they come over, she just brightens up. It is so fun to see these cute girls
together!
She is spitting raspberries and talking away. She likes to
say yayayaya, or bubububu, or just some random combination of sounds. It is
really fun to hear what she has to say.
Loud noises scare Nora. She typically cries whenever I turn
on the blow dryer, vacuum, or food processor.
Nora moves her feet in little circles when she is sitting
down. Usually when she is upset, she moves them so fast. It’s hilarious.
There are a few fun facts that I recorded through the 7th month... Now for the pics:
