Evie is 7 months old

• Size 3 diaper
• You wear size 6 month and 6-9 month clothes
• You eat 4 eight ounce bottles at 8, 12, 4, and 8.  You now eat breakfast which is oatmeal and fruit and dinner which is a fruit and veggie.  You love fruits and oatmeals and some of the veggies.  Peas and green beans are your least favorite.  
• We all think, even the pediatrician, that you have outgrown the laryngomalacia. You don't sound the way you used to and you eat your bottle so much faster than you used to.  I'm going to cancel your next ENT appointment in February because I don't want to put you through that pain again!
• I went back to giving you your reflux medicine because you started spitting up again.  You are much happier when you get it.

• You go to sleep around 8:00 and wake up around 7 usually.  Sometimes you start talking about 6:30, but I can usually give you your passy and you sleep for another hour or so.  You are hit or miss with sleeping.  Some nights you go all night without waking up, and sometimes I have to make the upstairs trek to give you your passy a couple of times a night.  You certainly keep me exhausted.  I love when Daddy is home on the weekends because he has to get up to give it to you!  We definitely have a love/hate relationship with that passy!  
• Big news this month is that you are officially a sitter!  You can't go from your tummy or back to sitting position yet, but I can just sit you down with some toys and you love to play.  I love that you can play by yourself while I try to do things around the house and I know you won't move!  You love your exersaucer and jumparoo too.
• You are cooing a lot and "talking", but no real word sounds yet.  You usually wake up happy in the mornings and after naps and just talk to yourself for awhile before we have to go in and get you.
• You still do great in the car.  You usually fall asleep as soon as we get moving.  We have another road trip this weekend (our first since Thanksgiving) so we will see how you do long distances.
• I love your chubby cheeks!  That is the number one thing that people notice about you.  :)

• You are still a mommy's girl.  You want to be near me all the time.  So far you do well when we drop you off at the nursery, but I have a feeling your separation anxiety will be coming soon!
• You do love your daddy too.  His favorite thing is when you nap on him.  I think you have found a comfy little spot on his chest!
• You love to pull and grasp anything and everything you can get your hands on.  My hair, necklace, mouth, and nose are your favorites.  You love to fall asleep with me holding you and your left hand holding onto either my mouth or nose.  It is the strangest thing.  You managed to sneak your first Chick fil a french fry today.  I kept pushing the tray away from you, but I looked down and you had grabbed a fry and were sucking on it!  I have a feeling you are going to be that kid we actually have to child proof things for!
• No teeth yet but drooling constantly.  I pretty much have to have a bib on you at all times.
• Your bubba LOVES to make you laugh!  The first thing he does when we pick him up from school is give you a kiss and then try to make you laugh.  You think he is pretty funny too!  As much as he loves you, you also are starting to bug him.  He gets upset when you try to reach for and take something from him or even if you just grab his shirt.  He'll say "stop touching me, Evie!"  It makes me laugh to think of all we have to look forward to with you pestering your big brother!  :)

Now I just need time to SLOW down a little bit!  You are growing up way too fast!
