Andi, Onto 7 Months Old

Andi, it is unbelievable another month has passed. She is in crawl mode now. She is constantly going even when she wakes up at 3am she is crawling around in her crib. She knows how to get in a sitting position if she is on her stomach or back. She is incredibly alert. She always has been but now she just stares at everything and will babble at it. She is saying gaga and baba a lot. When she cries it really sounds like she is saying mama....she does mmmm...aaaaaa....mmmmm.....aaaaaaa.

 

 She has started sleeping on her side and stomach, which freaks me out. One morning she was face down on the mattress, luckily she had her pacifier in so she could breath.

I have started a bad habit with her. For some reason at 3am when she wakes up for her feeding she will not go back to sleep in her crib. Mind you she only does this when Matt is here. So she sleeps in between Matt and I and she sleeps awesome! The only thing is she likes to turn sideways and kick me in my stomach. One night she was trying to give Matt her pacifier while he was asleep. She kept sticking it on his mouth...lol. I guess she wanted to play their game. They have developed quite a bond. She enjoys going for rides on the lawn mower.

She has started sticking her tongue out A LOT!! We had family pictures taken and she had that tongue out. I can't wait to see them when they are finished. There are some that are really good of her!

She had her 6 month check up last week and her stats so far:

Height: 26.25 inches

Weight: 16.2 lbs

Head: 15 and 7/8 inches

She was 50th( average) in all categories. Her head is a little small still, but she is proportionate. The pediatrician said we arn't going to have a baby much longer. She said she will probably walking soon. Andi kept throwing her clothes, pacifier, and tearing up the paper on the bench while we were there. Then the nurse tried to lay her down and her temper came out! The nurse said we have a very strong- willed girl, yes we do! 

Her next appointment is in October and the pediatrician thinks she will be walking by then! She won't have any shots that appointment so I am happy about that! She actually did better this time with her shots than last time and we were told this would be the worse ones. She was mainly sensitive.

If it were up to her she would already be walking. She has started using her toys to pull up on, furniture not so much.

 She loves music and toes! She will crawl and attack your feet!

She also really enjoys being naked and watching Wheel of Fortune!

 We go through sooo many diapers. I would think the older she gets, the less. She goes through 10-12 a day if not more. Especially now since she is drinking water.

This pic reminds me of someone:

Her father:

 Since she is so mobile now, I have started putting her in her play pen. She likes it for a bit but would rather be on the floor or in her walker. She likes to play peek-a-boo! Matt and I usually will hide behind a door or wall and pop out from it and she starts laughing!! She is a lot of fun! On the other hand, she can wake up in a bad mood. One day she woke from a nap crying. I got her consoled and Matt looked at her and cried Wah!!!! She looked at him, puckered her lip and started crying. She would not take her eyes off him. When she got quiet he did it again and she started crying. She obviously was not liking him making fun of her!

In my last post I talked about how much she loves rubber duckies. I bought her an inflatable tub so she could keep them close. I had my hand on her and the next thing I know she is bobbing for duckies. She sucked water up her nose but didn't care cause she had her ducky. I was freaking out and hitting her on her back because you could hear it in her lungs and she could care less.

She likes to try and stand by pushing up off the side of it. She is dangerous! She has also started doing a pike when she crawls, trying to stand.

She is a very determined little girl. She keeps trying until she has it. No matter what she is doing!

 She has gotten a few bumps on the head, which is going to happen. Probably more since we have wood floors:-(

There are some changes happening in our lives and the next few months are probably going to be hectic, a lot of prayers are being said. Hopefully we are shown the right path to go.

My mom and I are flying to Texas next week, looking forward to seeing the family and Andi getting to meet them! I hope she is in a good mood on the flight. She should be since there will be people around. She loves attention!
