Meredith is 7 months old!

 

Well February 24th came and went - and my baby is now 7 months old! She is getting so big!

(the 7 month sticker is no longer sticking...so I had to improvise...)

 

 

Not very often is her sister far away. They both really love each other, and enjoy being together!

 

Meredith is now a pro at sitting up - no longer does she need this pillow behind her! She isn't able to get into the sitting position by herself yet - but she is pretty close! She's just about grown out of her bouncy seat now - I think it is getting too dangerous...too often she tries to sit up / forward and looks like she could fall out! She's very nosey and likes to see what is going on....much like her sister....though Meredith seems to be more of a do-er than an analyzer.

Now that Meredith is on the move she doesn't lay on this playmat too much anymore (not that she had much room to herself anyway).

Loves to chew on anything and everything! Her first tooth finally peeked through this month (bottom left)...and now the second is on it's way (bottom right).

Daddy's been working a lot lately, but she does enjoy hanging out with him when she gets the chance!

Madilynn still likes to bring her all of her toys...

 

That little grin is all hers.....too cute!

Notice the first photo she only had one open...like I said she is a do-er!

Usually while I am getting dinner ready they aren't too far from each other!

One evening I kept hearing Madilynn saying "I rolled it! I rolled it!"  I peeked in to find that "it" was Meredith! She was rolling her from her stomach to her back....luckily Meredith was just laughing away....thank goodness!

Notice she is sans socks....if she were awake she would be chewing on them (or her toes)!

 

Meredith is likely just under 16 lbs, since at her last Dr visit she was 15 lbs 5 oz. She is running just a tad shorter and lighter than Madilynn was at this age. She is doing well with her vegetables, and usually gets them mixed with cereal for dinner. We are now starting fruits...if she is anything like her sister she will LOVE these!

She is still waking at least once  (more often twice)  a night. I think she is not eating much during the day, and is trying to make up for it at night. Not sure what we'll do since she doesn't seem to want to eat during the day...but mommy sure would like to sleep more at night!

Meredith isn't crawling yet, but she sure is getting around just fine...she has the army crawl down!

 I'm hoping the weather starts to turn warmer since many of her current clothes are starting to get too small...not to mention her feet likely get pretty cold without those socks!! She's still in 6 month clothes, though many of the pants are getting too short. We are into 9 month sleepers.

She still sucks on her first two fingers on her left hand....I just hope I'm not still saying this when she is 7 YEARs old!!! She also enjoys her jumper...as you will see below.
She is getting so big - we can't wait to see what this month has in store!

Here are a couple videos...one of her army crawl, and the other of her in her jumper!
