This update is a little late, but here are a few things I have accomplished in my seventh month:
- I weigh 15 lbs, 6.5 oz. I gained another pound this month!
- I'm sleeping through the night! Finally! Just a month ago I could only sleep an average of 7 hours at a time before waking up and wanting to be fed. Then Mom and Dad started ignoring my middle-of-the-night wakings and made me cry it out. It was tough, but it worked. This past week I slept consistently for 10-11 hours straight, from 7pm to 6am!
- I can sit up. Although I'm still a little wobbly and fall over sometimes, I started sitting up on my own about a week ago.
- I started formula. With me eating more during the day and Mom going back to work, she just couldn't keep up with me any more. We started supplementing with formula so I would have enough bottles at day care during the day. Now I finish four 6-oz bottles every day (4 oz of breastmilk topped off with 2 oz formula). It's not ideal, but a growing baby's got to eat!
- Speaking of eating, I'm loving solid foods! My favorites are sweet potatoes and oatmeal. Mom and Dad are just happy that I love food as much as they do. :)
