7 Months

At 7 months old Leila

-Is sleeping 12ish hours through the night. I finally made her cry it out for a couple of nights and she does pretty good now. Most nights she still wakes up and cries for a few minutes or I put her binky in but I think we're past the 4:00 am feeding ritual.
-Is babbling. Lot's of ba ba ba's, although Mark swears when he put her down last night she said "da da" as he walked out of the room, like she was calling out for him. I don't think I buy it.
-Is finding and putting in her own binky and is figuring out how to hold her own bottle.
-Has one tooth that's poked through the surface and another one trying to break through.
-Weighs 16 lbs.
-Still isn't rolling but loves to sit and play with toys.
-Gave me a little taste of what it's like to have an unhappy baby when she was teething and sick these past 2 weeks. She was sad, I was sad. Now she is back to being happy though.

-Still is nursing but I have to supplement with about 10 oz of formula through the day, most of it (6 oz) right before bed.

See how sad she is?

I blame these guys.

She hasn't been eating her baby food as well, half way through she'll just seal her lips like this. I also blame the above culprits.

It's always so much harder for me to keep nursing once they can hold their own bottles, we'll see how long I can last, or she can last.
