7 Months

167 hours and 7 months ago, Coach and I, the AD, brought forth to this Lynamland, a new member. Lovebug.

How was that for a start to a new post? I know, clever. What can I say. It would have been better if I did it on the day I was supposed to do it, but ya know. You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit. Again, clever. I know.

Back to the topic at hand...

Lovebug is 7 months old!!! Seriously, where in the WORLD did that time go?

A.dor.a.ble!!!

Here are some updates (though some are quite similar to last month's birthday):

Eating: Lovebug LUUUUUVES to eat! She eats both rice cereal, as well as oatmeal every morning mixed with some fruit. For lunch, she eats a step 2 veggie (or homemade, whichever I choose for her) PLUS a step 1 fruit... or 1/2 a step 2 fruit. For supper, the same darn thing as lunch. As for bottles, she starts the morning with a 4 ouncer, then a 6 ouncer at lunch, a 6 ouncer for her 3pm snack, and a 6 ouncer for her bedtime snack. She also loves to nosh on graham crackers, puffs, and is using that sippy cup for water and juice :). Hence the 90th percentile on the weight, folks!!

Likes: playing with Daddy and Mommy, giving sloppy kisses to anyone (her latest kissing obcession is with her boyfriend Marcus at daycare), watching every.single.move that Bogart and Edgar make, splashing in the bathtub, chewing on Mommy & Daddy's phones, chewing on our fingers, chewing on her toys. Let's just say chewing in general :). She also likes to play with her toys, and she LOVES when you tickle them :). She also likes sitting up, jumping in her jumper, and hanging in her exer-saucer. Oh, and she also likes to play with her bats... as in baseball. Oh yes, she is definitely our little MVP.

Dislikes: getting her nose suctioned out (it's been happening a lot lately), going to sleep when she thinks she's going to miss out on something, clothing... Lovebug loves to be a naked baby (though this makes Coach a bit upset), rolling over. Lil' chunker just doesn't want to do it anymore.

Motor: Lovebug is doing better about picking things up with her hands and putting them in her mouth, but we're still working on that pincher grasp. As for gross motor, she's doing GREAT at sitting up, and trying to pull herself to a sitting position when ya know, I'm trying to get her to lay down and cuddle with me :). She flails(?) her arms and legs around when she's on her tummy, but like I said earlier, she's given up on the rolling over stuff. She has got some solid, strong tree trunks legs that help her stand up and jump on her Mommy & Daddy's laps.

I am in L.O.V.E with her eyes. And her, too :)
