7 Months!

.Our tiny little Livvi girl turned 7 months this last week. I know I say this every month but wow, the time sure is flying. How is my sweet Peanut already almost 1. I tear up just thinking about it. My last baby is just too old.

7 month stats

Aug.4,2013

Weight: 12.3 lbs

Height: 25"

HC: 16.5"

So after this visit the Dr told us you had not only lost weight but shrunk an inch in height since your last visit (which was a sick visit 2 weeks before). Apparently you aren't getting enough nutrition from just my breast milk so she suggested supplementing formula. At first you resisted the formula but after about 3 days of getting a mixture of breast milk and formula, you decided you were done with breastfeeding. It was a sad day for me but the change in your mood and attitude is amazing! This past month you were so fussy, always wanted to be held (only by Mommy), and you were just high maintence! Now I know why. You were hungry! Needing more and I didn't even see the signs! Writing this 2 weeks after we started formula and I still feel the twinge of guilt when I think of you (in my mind) starving. We went back for a weight check aug. 15 and ......

Aug.15,2013

Weight: 13 lbs 5.5 oz

Height: 26"

 

So you gained a little over a pound and grew an inch!!! Yay! We are back on the right track. 

You can army crawl all over the house and occasionally get up on your hands and knees and rock. You love sitting up to play and can keep your balance for however long you want to!

Trying to crawl, hard work!

This month you got a virus that kept you down with a fever for 6days. It was so hard seeing you so pitiful and sick.you just wanted to cuddle and sleep. I secretly loved the cuddling part. 

Sleep Schedule:

You wake up every morning between 640-7am. You nap two good long naps during the day, one in AM and one in the PM. Your bed time is still 7pm but we will probably move it back 30 minutes this month. You still sleep through the night, thank goodness!!

Livvi and her lovey

Feeding schedule:

You drink between 5-6 oz of formula every 4-4.5 hours! You eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You love all fruits (mango, apple, pears, bananas, avocados, peaches) and some veggies (carrots, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, zucinni). You don't like green beans. Your favorite thing to eat is fruit in your fresh food feeder! (Grapes, watermelon and cantaloupe)

Favorite Toys and Games:

Peek a boo is still your favorite game, you especially love it when Sissy does it! You love being tickled, tossed in the air, and any "rough housing".  All of Sissy's toys are your favorites! 

Blowing bubbles, her new favorite thing

You are a perfect tiny version of Daddy. I can't get enough of your ear to ear smiles and your sweet little personality. Every day I spend watching you grow is such a blessing.
