7 months

We are now officially on the downward slope to One...ugh, please stop growing so much. Cate had a big month with lots of firsts, new adventures, and has learned lots of new things.

She started sitting up alone, ate lots of yummy food, went on her first airplane ride, started swim lessons, started using a sippy cup, likes to look at books, imitating some sounds, and dropped her 6 pm nap.

Here are all the foods she tried last month- sweet potatoes, pears with cinnamon, peas, apples with cinnamon, acorn squash, green beans, carrots, butternut squash and blueberries. She LOVED it all. She absolutely loves to eat and was eating 4 cubes of food from the get go. I am going to make her a vegetable eater if it kills me.


This Months Stats:

Height- 26.5 in (approx)
Weight- 16 lb 6 oz
Diaper Size- 3
Clothes Size- 3-6 mo, 9 mo sleepers

She is just barely into 9 mo clothes- shes such a peanut, but with all the food shes eating I can't believe she hasn't blown up. She is still drinking almost the same amount of milk, so I really don't know where all her food goes- probably doesn't hurt that she poops 8 times a day.

She is still the best sleeper and is only up for about 5 hours a day. By 6:30, she is ready to go to bed, but I keep her up until 7. 

Nick and I are so lucky to have such sweet girls- keeping our fingers crossed this continues into the tween years...


My ovaries are about to explode looking back at these.

Easter

We decided to head to NY for Easter and I'm so glad we did. Despite it being 30 degrees and snowing, it was such a great time and Josie had a blast. Both kids were great on the drive and loved seeing all their cousins. Josie was sneaking candy at every chance she got. She'd go to the corner of the room and when we weren't looking start digging in.
