Took off her own sock and wearing Star Wars shirt
Clear picture of her 2 bottom teeth
Touching her teeth with her tongue? Eating snot? Who knows? :)
7 months with Pooh Bear
Where do I start? Everywhere...that is where Emma is going! At least in the living room.
She can sit unassisted really well. She also gets around by a couple different ways other than rolling. One is scooting on her bottom while pushing with a leg she has bent back. The other way is "army" crawling with her arms. Recently she has started using her legs to push herself forward too. Emma sometimes gets up on her arms and knees and rocks back and forth also. Any day now she will be crawling.
She just recently pulled herself up to the side of the couch too. Uffda!
She still only has 2 teeth but we think she is teething. Biting while eating was and sometimes is an issue. She's learning not to do it.
Emma girl likes to play peek-a-boo. She has started covering her own face while we say "where's Emma?" and she looks and we say "peek". So fun!
She loves playing and chewing on tags on her toys or anything. Also drawstrings on sweatshirts or pants.
Emma has a mind of her own. She wants what she wants. Very determined.
She is currently sick with a cold again. A couple of weeks ago she had a low-grade fever one evening and a cold for a couple days. We thought she might have been teething because it didn't last very long. This one hasn't been a week but she is congested. Runny and stuffy nose and coughing.
I almost forgot that we have started her on "solids". We gave her some rice cereal with breastmilk first. It was pretty runny so she did fine with it. We thickened it a little later on. Then we gave her carrots from April's garden at the farm. I don't think I pureed them well enough. She kind of gagged. I mixed them with rice cereal and water and she did ok.
Next we gave her canned pumpkin. She liked that. She loved to grab the spoon. We saw her baby tantrums when we wouldn't let her have the spoon.
Then she absolutely loved the acorn squash from April's garden. Emma also enjoys mashed banana. These 2 foods are when we noticed that she says "mmmm" while she's eating.
She hasn't been too picky or messy. That time will come I'm sure. Emmitt will enjoy anything that she "drops" on the floor.
Emma will gag if there is too much in her mouth or she is sick and has phlegm which makes it hard to breathe and eat.
We tried the sippy cup but she does better just drinking out of a cup the regular way with our help of course. Eventually the sippy will be for cleanliness sake.
I have an ice cube tray with a lid that I freeze her food in. After they are frozen I put them in ziploc bags. I thaw a cube to feed her. Sometimes Emma will eat the whole serving but usually half or a little more than half at a feeding. We usually feed her while we are eating at the table at suppertime.
