Hayden: 7 months

 

What's Happening with Hayden

Weight: 17 lbs., 12 oz.

Length: ???

Milestones: Hayden is sleeping a little better--that's all I'm gonna say--don't want to jinx it ;). She tried a few different veggies this month--peas (yuck!), squash (not too bad) and sweet potatoes (still thinking about it). She's a fairly clean eater compared to the boys...we'll see if that continues. She doesn't like to eat very much at one sitting. No matter what she's eating, about 6-8 bites is her limit, then she scrunches up her nose and turns her head. She knows what she wants.

She loves to drink ice water from our cups. It usually ends up with her having a soaked shirt, but she's all smiles afterwards and she lunges for more.

 

She's such a happy little girl...the boys go searching for her first thing every morning and she's usually craning her neck to find them as soon as she hears their voices. She's laughs out loud and she's loving to play peek-a-boo and patty cake.

 

My milk supply faded very quickly around 6 1/2 months. I stopped pumping at work, and just nursed her in the morning and at bedtime for a few weeks, but eventually couldn't even give her enough for those two feedings. Luckily it was gradual, and she didn't fight weaning at all, and she's always taken a bottle great. It's kinda sad for mommy though!

 

Favorite activities: Chewing/slobbering on anything, drinking water out of cups, peek-a-boo.

 

Least favorite activities: Getting her clothes changed and having her boogers picked. Whoowee, that makes her MAD.

 

Misc. update: Hayden's wearing 6-9 month clothes, size 2 shoes and size 3 diapers.
