Mallory ~7 Months~



She loves food.  We've yet to find something Mallory won't eat.  We do a mix of purees and real food.  She loved green beans, raspberries, and rolls the most. 

I'd say she could go 3-4 hours between nursing sessions, but she also nurses to sleep so I just nurse on demand.


She has two teeth now.  I didn't even know she was getting them because she wasn't cranky or fussy and actually had slept better the few nights before.  So I was pretty surprised when I noticed them.

She's army crawling and rolling and trying to get into anything she can.  Plastic bags & cords are a favorite.  Even stuff off the ground isn't necessarily safe.  She's determined.

She's still stingy with her laughs, but smiles often.

Lots of cooing and shrieking.  She makes these sounds that I've notice or remember 'mama' 'hi' 'aaah' 'yuh' 'nnn'

Naps are still terrible 90% of the time.  Every once in a while I can transfer and she'll do well.

Nursing to sleep almost every single time.

Night sleep is slowly getting better.  Some nights are horrid and I spend hours trying to get her down.
She sleeps all the way through the night (8-10 hours) about 10 percent of time time.  Otherwise there is usually one wake up.

I weighed her today and she's at the 15 lb mark.

Six month clothes, although there are some 3 month onesies that fit.

Mallory ~30 Weeks~

Nursing/Eating:
Mallory ate watermelon, gobbled down a dinner roll, stole a cracker out of my mouth and had a pumpkin/apple puree. 



Sleep:
She took a great nap one day this week.  It lasted a few hours and I kept checking on her.  She didn't go to bed until midnight that night though. 

Generally bedtimes are super late and take hours and naps are only if she's being held/nursing or moving in the car.


Misc:

She's not quite big enough for the swing
And 5 seconds later she tried to eat the tree
Sister fun

Mallory ~31 Weeks~



Sleep:
Went to my cabin the other day.  She slept maybe 45 minutes over a 13 hour period.  Gaah.

Sometimes when I set her in the crib she will cry and then roll over and go to sleep and sometimes she will just cry.  But I need to just give her a moment instead of picking her up immediately.

Food:
Green beans were awesome.  Kiwi was good.  Raspberries (I can't remember when she had these) but she loves them!


Oh and pancakes


Misc:
She's sitting up much better this week.  I think she could probably go maybe 20-30 seconds, but I don't really know.

When we were at the cabin I had her sitting in the water and she was splashing her hands in the river and it was so adorable.  She also ate a lot of sand though.

She's such a sweaty baby though.

















Always getting into cords
