coffeyhouse: 7 Months Old!

Happy 7 months on the 17th to our P!

Age: 7 months, 31 weeks! (I use this calculator- pretty cool: http://babyparenting.about.com/library/blbabyagecalculator.htm)

Milestones:

Sleep:

Eating:

Nursing every 3 hours (except after bedtime, of course)
Solids- interesting. She is not super interested in these foreign foods right now... clamps her mouth shut and politely smiles and looks the other direction. We're still doing fruits and veggies and just upped it to twice a day. She LOVES her sippy cup with water but could do without the food- it pretty much just annoys her at this point. lol Oh well. She'll get there.

Packing for our spring break trips!

These are a few of her Favorite Things:

Going on walks- facing forward now in the actual stroller instead of in her carseat up top! Upgraded!
first time facing forward in her stroller with buddy Hugh
Bouncing- can finally touch the ground in her little 'jump up' (that hangs from the door)
TALKING- this child is a screech owl mixed with a marine animal- dolphin or whale most likely
Exersaucer- best $20 ever spent
Faces- loves grabbing your face, studying your expressions- now loves to grab hair, glasses, jewelry- watch out!
Bath time
Her sippy cup
Still LOVES her crib and being on the changing table

These are a few of her Not-So-Favorite-Things:

Being touched when she doesn't want to be- give the girl her space. Just like her mama. "Don't mess with me."
Clothes going over her head- still about 50/50 in this department when it comes to tolerance :)
Being put in her carseat- fine once she's there

Best of Times:

Her falling asleep on me on the plane- this child never cuddles or lays her head on me to go to sleep so I was in heaven. Amazing.
Getting her to the beach for the first time
Celebrating my birthday with her
Just spending my days with her in general- there are so many times I think throughout the day "oh my gosh- I can't believe I just get to DO this"- it's the best
Attending her first birthday party for 3 year old friend, Ella

Worst of Times:

Meltdown on the plane- mom's worst nightmare- you can read about that more in my spring break post ;)
Changing 2 blow outs on one flight on the "changing table" in the plane lavatory- what an experience
Her being sick at the beach- poor thing
Chris and I were both hit with the stomach bug a few weeks ago- Peyton dodged it yet again. Whew.

Other Coffey House Updates:

Spring has finally sprung in KC! Loving it staying light later, warmer weather, starting to take walks again- Scout appreciates it, too!
Chris got a promotion at work! Have to brag on him :)
Oliver (our rabbit) turns 7 years old here in a couple of weeks- oh, you didn't know we had a rabbit? Chris will tell you he's for sale for free. I happen to love our senior citizen bunny. :)
I ran over a razor blade driving to a friend's so now have to have 2 tires replaced- a week later Chris's wind shield got cracked while driving home on the highway. When it rains it pours.
Excited for Easter! Peyton will wear one of my old dresses- have loved that my mom saved all of these things. Pretty fun to dress her up in them!
Peyton and I start a 1 month trial of mommy/baby yoga- should be interesting!

And some pictures for the road...
