Anyway, little girl has been growing and doing so much these days. At 7 months, she crawls all over and sits up most of the time. She gets a little antsy in her carseat (until she falls asleep!) because she is leaned back a little more than she would like. I still have her in her infant carrier, mostly for the convenience. When we are on the go with Conner and she falls asleep and is trying to nap while we are out for the day, it's easier to keep her asleep when I can just bring her in her seat. I know those days are limited. Brennan is pretty long and heavy. Before too long, we will have to switch her in to a bigger seat. That will be a big adjustment and I'm sure I will spend a lot more time sitting in the car waiting for her to wake up!
Brennan has been pulling up for a few weeks now. She loves to stand up and look all around. She falls down a lot still. At first, she was falling pretty quickly and was crying a little, but now she pretty much just plops on to her tush to get down (because she hasn't figured out how to get down gracefully yet!) and get moving again. She is starting to take a few steps (a little cruising) but not too much. She picks up all of Conner's toys now. She's not really interested in all the little baby stuff (except for her play table to pull up on!), mostly she wants whatever Conner is playing with. Conner isn't loving sharing so it has been a little challenging. He is learning and it is getting better about gently taking things instead of snatching them out of her hands. He has definitely changed with her since she was a tiny baby and wants to play with his stuff! He still is a great big brother and now every time they are sitting near each other he asks where the camera is for a picture! The photos never turn out so good though!! She is a moving target these days...hard to catch her on camera sometimes!
B eats very well now. It only took a few weeks on baby food and cereal before she really started to like it. She now is eating oatmeal and stage 2 baby foods twice a day. She has added lots of new stuff to her diet. She likes pretty much everything and opens her mouth wide for food! She is eating mangos, pears, apples, peaches, apricots, peas, squash, spinach, sweet potatoes and carrots. I'm sure there are a few more, but I can't remember. The only food that wasn't great for her was green beans and only because it made her SUPER gassy! I'm sure it will be fine mixed with other stuff, but on it's own...NOT SO MUCH! I can't really remember what we did next with Conner. He ate baby food forever. So I really don't know what to do next with Brennan with food. We are going on vacation soon so I don't want to change too much before then. And she doesn't have any teeth yet, so I'm in no hurry to add anything. She has tried puffs, which she is so-so about. I have to feed them to her, so I'm thinking she isn't ready for them...and she has tried a baby rice cracker thing (can't remember the name) but she wasn't that interested. She picks everything up okay, just won't put it in her mouth! So for now, we are just keeping things how they are because she seems okay with it.
Brennan has been a little more vocal (although I still worry about it). She mostly makes a lot of mouth/nose noises. Raspberries and blowing air out of her nose all the time! She is still a super happy and really good baby. She goes along with our schedule, no matter what it is. Things change on a daily basis and she just goes along with it. She doesn't nap great when we aren't home, but when we are home for a day, she usually takes one good long nap and a few little cat naps. She just crawls up to one of us, gets comfy and falls asleep for a little (maybe 30 minutes or so). She has been waking up super early lately so we are trying to figure out how to get that backed up a little. It's been before 6 on a lot of occasions...too early!
That's about it for this month. We love little B a ton and can't wait to see what she does next!
This is our attempt at 7 month photos...this is what I got, didn't go so well!!
