Georgia is 7 months old!

Last week sweet girl turned 7 months!  That sounds so grown up to me.  Like whoa she's closer to being 1 year old than she is to being a newborn.  Holy cow.  She is so much fun though.  As much as I want time to stand still, I also love watching her grow and see the world.  Each day gets better and better.  So without further ado, here is how my little pip squeak is doing!  
(side note: these pictures are getting harder and harder to take as she squirms and puts everything in her mouth!)

Weight: 18.4 pounds!  73% woop woop!  She has officially gained 10 pounds since birth!  Yay G!

Health: Healthy little pip squeak.  So thankful!

Sleep: Oh sleep.  Well these days Georgia has 5 teeth and she is cutting two more.  When those are in she will have 4 up top and 3 on the bottom!  I guess baby girl is tired of puree and wants some steak dinners!  I digress… so with all these teeth coming in, sleep has been a bit spotty.  We’ll have three or four nights in a row where she sleeps all night then two where she wakes up in pain because of her teeth.  But we’re getting through it like a champ.  Other than that, sleep is great!  She loves to sleep on her tummy now almost all of the time, and even sometimes with her toosh in the air.  Cutest babe ever.

Social: I love seeing her little personality come out.  She loves being around people and definitely recognizes people she sees often.  She still loves Kindermusik – especially when the big bongo drum comes out.  Her fur sissy is still hilarious to her and her little laugh still melts my heart.  We This past month she celebrated two of her cousin’s birthdays and went on lots of adventures to daddy’s pharmacy, lunch dates and walks with mommy.  She smiles a ton at strangers but isn’t too happy in the arms of people she doesn’t recognize.  She does this thing now where if someone else is holding her or someone tries to play with her, she stares at me almost for my approval.  It makes me so happy.  Her little personality seems like she is wide open at home, and she really loves other people and getting out and about.  But she also seems to be deep in thought when there is a lot going on.  Like she is taking in the world around her with great care and thought.  Oh I love her.

Diet: G is loooooving solids still!  She has tried sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, pears, apples, oranges, beets, squash, zucchini, bananas and avocados.  She hasn’t met anything she doesn’t like!  I have made all of her food thus far, but we are headed to NYC soon and I’m excited for her to try some of the Plum Organic Pouches!  She is still going strong on breast milk when she’s not eating solids and we do formula if we are out and about since I am only pumping.  This is our formula of choice, but G definitely prefers BM – which is sweet and hard at the same time.  Only pumping is hard ya’ll.  And takes so much time.  I’m wearing down, but am gonna keep going for a bit longer.

Clothes: G is still able to wear her 6 months clothes and 9 months.  She also still wears her 4-6 month onesies from H&M.  I have crazzzzzzzzzy sping fever though.  She has the most adorable spring outfits that I am soo excited for her to wear.  And if it were up to my mama, she would have a different outfit for every day of her life….

Baby Gear Love: We love our high chair!  We went back and forth (I was so indecisive) but we finally decided on this one and I love it.  I love that it doesn't take up room in our kitchen and I love that she can sit at the table with us while we eat.  My ergo is still a life saver and I love these beads.  I wear them all the time and G is constantly chewing on them.

Crying: She is a happy baby yay!  She starts whining when she gets super tired and when she is hungry stay out of her way.  Other than that, we are good to go!

Likes: She still loves her sissy.  So much.  She loves when it is time to eat solids.  She loves being tossed in the air and going for walks.  She loves Kindermusik and kisses from her daddy.  She loves it when her mommy dances around like a crazy person.

Dislikes: She doesn't like when it takes too long to get some milk and she doesn't like when her teef start to hurt.

Postpartum:  Feeling good and started the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis DVD’s at home.  Here's to hoping they get me feeling better about putting on a bathing suit in a few weeks!

Milestones: In the past month she has perfected the art of sitting up.  However, I still don’t leave her because she lunges forward frequently and eats it.  We practice every day on my bed though and she is getting better at landed on her hands and knees when she lunges.  She still babbles constantly and beginning to understand more complex things on her toys – like how to open and close doors, turn pages in her books and pull triggers.

sissy time

georgia's fascination with sevilla has only intensified over time.  she absolutely loves her.  we spend about 45 minutes a day just playing catch in our hallway because the pure delight and bliss squeals that come from my baby when sevilla is racing back with the toy - well, they are priceless.  sevilla has also really come around.  she's not as scared of her sissy's death grip as she used to be, and frankly she loves her right back.  i love watching these two and it makes me smile thinking about georgia and sevilla continuing to fall in love.  i read somewhere that people who have pets are happier.  i don't know if it's true or not, but in my house - it definitely is.  i love raising a baby in the same house as an animal.  animals friends are the best.

(please ignore the pile of clothes on my unmade bed.  it was laundry day and sevilla loves nothing more than sitting on a pile of warm laundry.  so we let her enjoy before folding them.... spoiled much?)

weekend happenings

loves some beets

had to buy this.  i mean duh.

oscar prep

This weekend was good.  Good for my soul.  A good way to say goodbye to February and hello to March.  Friday Georgia and I met sweet friends for lunch and Friday night was spent making dinner and staying in with my family.  Once G was asleep Matt and I caught up on our new favorite show, The Profit, has anyone seen it?  The CEO of Camping World invests in failing small businesses and turns them around - so good.  Saturday we headed downtown to support Race for The Cure and represent Matt's pharmacy then ran some errands and relaxed at home.  Saturday night my brother and sister-in-law came over for dinner with my sweet nephews and it was the best.  Family and food are an epic combination.  The best ever if you ask me :)  And Sunday was spent restoring ourselves mostly outdoors.  You couldn't keep my family of four inside yesterday if you tried.  There were runs, times to sit and walk down to the water. And last night you could find us watching the Oscars of course.  I mean Kate Hudson really?  I love you.  I love weekends like that.  Weekends that leave you feeling ready for the week ahead - and we have an exciting one this week for sure!

Hope y'all had a great weekend too!  xox
