the one where Ava is 7 months old

Ava Estelle

Seven Months

 

Size:

Ava is 18lbs 7oz. My little chunk is wearing 6-9 months clothing comfortably.
 

Health:

Ava has her first sickness right now as I type. She has developed this nasty cough for about 5 days that just wont go away. She does not have a fever or any issues with eating so when we took her to the Urgent Care at the beach (the cough was worse on vacay) they told us it is probably just allergies or something viral that would pass in a few days. Its Tuesday and the cough is still nasty enough that it is waking her up in the middle of the night so this afternoon we are taking her to see her pediatrician. Fingers crossed they have some answers and it is something easy and will pass asap.

 

Feeding:

7 months breastfed.
Once or twice a day I try to give her something else like applesauce, sweet potatoes or carrots. She likes them but definitely still prefers Moms boobies. 

 

Sleep:

Ava is waking up once a night but doing well other than that. She goes down around 7pm and then wakes up anywhere from 2-4 am... eats, then goes back to sleep to around 7-8ish. Or here and there she will totally surprise us and sleep in until 9 like my WHOLE HOUSE DID TODAY. It was amazing! 

 

Extras:
-She is all but sitting up on her own.
-Loves to pull hair. Mommys hair is great but Daddys beard is her favorite.
-Her hair is getting more blonde
-She loves bathtime with her big sister and loves to splash Mommy which then gets big sister so excited and big sister splashes mom and pretty much I look like I just showered after they are done their bath.
-She has a freakishly strong grip.
-She is the happiest girl I know.
