The Amazing 7th Month

 Liliane had an amazing 7th month. She transformed this month to an expressive active baby. You can imagine how much more fun the boys think she is to play with.

 We moved Lili into her own room. She has been sleeping in a pack n play in our room because she woke up so much during the night needing us to put her paci in her mouth. When we moved her, there were a couple of rough nights of us walking from our room to her's multiple times, but then all of sudden she started sleeping through the night. We aren't even sure what fixed it. A week later she got a little virus that disrupted her sleep, but now she is back to sleeping through the night most of the time.

Since we are moving, we didn't repaint the nursery to match Lili's bedding. This beautiful bumper pad and crib skirt (not shown) were made by my friend when she adopted her daughter. Lili must be pretty special to have it handed down to her! Lili's room will be one of the first one done when we get to the new house.


Lili is eating so much better. Before we were forcing her to eat her baby cereal and we weren't very consistent at it because she wasn't interested in it. Now she loves to eat and opens her mouth thinking she is going to get some of our food! I spent four hours one afternoon making baby food which will last us months!  Lili loves everything we have tried.

Lili is rolling around all over the place and likes being put on the floor to move around. She enjoys looking for toys and putting everything into her mouth.



Lili is sitting up! We haven't been working on sitting up too much except to use the Bumbo because if Lili is in a sitting position, she spits up even more (she already spits up quite a bit). I like her in the sitting position to give the back of her hair a break. She is still sporting a nice bald spot.


Being able to sit makes playing with Lili even more fun.
 

Lili is finally smiling and giggling a lot more. Before we really worked to get a smile out of her. Now she sees us and smiles.

Love this face!

 I finally found a swimming suit that fits Lili, so she got to experience the pool for the first time. She seemed to like it and looks so cute in her swim suit.



The below pictures are Lili's 7 month pictures in her beautiful dress given to her by Aunt Kari. Isn't she beautiful?!

Such a cutie! I love her facial expressions. Not to discourage you, but I swear it took Baylie YEARS to grow in her bald spot. I thought it would never happen!

If I knew you had a daughter now I had forgotten, congrats! She is adorable, especially in that sweet little dress. :-) Hope you guys are doing well!
