Homegirl went in for another weight check last week. At 7 months, she was a whopping 14lbs 10oz.... still putting her in the 10th percentile. But the doctor finally just said, "Well, someone has to be in the 10th percentile to make other kids average." With that, he sent us on our way and said he would see her at her 9 month well visit... which means for the first time ever we aren't going in for a weight check at 8 months. woohoo! I sure am getting tired of that copay.
Adelaide is SO so busy these days. She has been crawling (like, hands and knees crawling) for about a month now, and she.does.not.stop. She is pulling herself up on anything and everything her little arms can reach up to. We are officially FINALLY down to two naps a day - usually about 1.5hr in the morning and 1.5hr in the afternoon. I wish it was more, and sometimes it is, but she seems to function alright for now. She still goes to bed at about 7:30, but she has been waking up earlier lately, like at 6:30 or 7. She likes pretty much every food we have given her and she is just starting to be able to pick up those little puffs and put them in her mouth by herself (that's Nacho's favorite snack time b/c he knows that it's a 50/50 chance that a puff will land on the floor instead of in A's mouth).
The Schuberts were in town this weekend and Adelaide loved playing with her Granmom and Papa... and I loved the chance to run a few quick errands by myself! (sorry this is not the best picture... she was only over there for .2 seconds before she moved somewhere else so I have to take what I can get)
We also watched a neighbor's 10wk old baby girl for just an hour or so on Saturday morning. As you can see everyone was interested in the new little friend.
I love to sneak into Adelaide's room after she falls asleep just to see what position she decided to settle in and which of her 6 pacis did the trick for her. Apparently the other day she decided she needed a little pillow.
Speaking of pacifiers, Adelaide only gets hers in the crib and in the car (the two places she will fall asleep), but we really want her to be paci-free by her first bday. In fact, we're both kind of ready to start getting rid of them now, but I think I'm just too nervous anticipating the sleepless days and nights. When is a good time to get rid of them... and any tips?
Okay... wrapping this up. This girl is awesome. She is so much fun. I LOVE that she is so busy and always on the move and forces me to attempt to keep my floors clean. Oh, and she has been quite chatty lately too (Ya, Ga, Wa, Ba, Da and EEEEEEEEEEE are her favorite sounds). I love hearing her and can't wait til they turn into real words. She makes us laugh every single day. And she's adorable. That is all.
