7 Months

Now that Morgan is almost 8 months old, I suppose I should write her 7 month update…
Morgan Likes: Baby Food! (she ate 6 jars yesterday), her Jumperoo, her puppies, and playdates
Morgan Dislikes: Taking her reflux medicine, going to the doctor, the vacuum cleaner and having her mouth wiped
What’s New?  Morgan had her follow-up appointment with the GI doctor this.  He was very pleased that she is doing so well and eating so many solids.  She weighed in at 17 lbs. and 27 inches.  He said to keep her on the medicine and that we will see her in three months to start adding in some dairy/soy.
What Morgan Is Eating:  She has loved exploring the wonderful world of baby food and can really put it away.  Her favorite is sweet potatoes.   She has even started drinking water and some milk out of a sippy cup!!!  I have started making homemade baby food because we both gagged when we smelled a jar of chicken baby food. 
What Morgan Plays With:  She loves her jumperoo and gets very excited to the point it looks like she is doing River Dance when she is in it.  Morgan enjoys our reading time before naps and bedtime.  She loves bathtime and is no longer in her baby tub but has taken over Mommy’s bathtub.
What Morgan Says: “Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba…”  She now has four teeth and will sometimes grind them together which is pretty gross.
How Morgan Spends Her Time:  She wakes at around 8 a.m. and then takes a nap at around 10:30 and another at 3pm.  Her bedtime is at 8:30.  She is sleeping much better and is even in her crib now.  We have a pretty regular schedule where she eats solids three times a day.  I am trying to only nurse her after her solids so she gets filled up on those first.  She isn’t crawling just yet but she will roll from one side of the room to the other.  Yesterday I went out of the room for a second and walked in to find her pulling up on the tv cabinet.  Yikes…
