7 Months Old

Love our little 7 month old!


Here's what is new this month:
  • You are eating pretty random throughout the day. You eat veggies or fruit at night and we are starting you out eating cereal in the morning this week. So, you will be eating 2 times a day.
  • You've made it through all the stage 1 veggies.
  • You hate all fruits so far. We've had bananas, apples, prunes and peaches and you haven't liked any of them yet. You like veggies or cereal a lot better.
  • You have also started eating some puffs. You seem to like those.
  • Your favorite thing about meal time is playing with the spoon, especially banging it on your tray. You also like sucking on the washcloth afterwards.
  • You do okay with your sippy cup. You can get stuff out of it but aren't very good at holding it on your own.
  • Just yesterday your two lower teeth popped through - both on the same day.
  • This also means everything goes to your mouth.
  • You LOVE to stand now. Sitting is only good for so long and then you want up to stand.
  • Playing with toys usually involves turning the toy box over and having the toys all over the floor.
  • You love to play with any kind of paper.
  • You sleep mostly on your side now. The last 2 nights I've let you sleep with a blanket and you have slept awesome!! If that's the trick we will keep it up :-)
  • You roll all over on the floor but prefer to be on your back rather than your belly. You don't have much interest in crawling yet.
  • Your favorite toys right now are your standing piano and your singing mirror.
  • You are a pretty smiley girl but you definitely have an attitude. You like things your way and love to have everyone's full attention!
  • You starting screaming when adults leave the room, especially mom.. boo!
  • Outside is your favorite place to be.
  • You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
  • You moved into your new house this month!!

Do You See What I See?

Not 1 but 2 teeth coming in! Both just popped in today. Let the teething begin :-)

Moved In

We are finally moved into our new home (thanks to lost of help from our family and friends). We couldn't be more excited!! So far, it is just perfect and we love it.

Thanks to everyone who helped with our move! We really appreciated it!!




First Day of Daycare

It was a bittersweet day last Monday. It was sad because Leah's summer with Auntie Nikki, Paige and Parker was over. :-( We can't begin to thank Nikki for watching Leah all summer. Leah had so much fun with her cousins and it was so nice for mom not to have to worry about who was watching her baby. It truly was wonderful... but the summer is over and it's time for Auntie Nikki to go back to work.

So, Monday was Leah's first day at daycare. We found a home daycare with two wonderful ladies who work there and so far it's going great!!

Here's some picks from the first day.



Day at the Zoo

Leah had her first trip to the Zoo with mom, dad, Grandma and Grandpa C and Paige and Parker. It was a hot day but we all had a blast. Paige's favorite exhibit was the large cats, Parker loved the train ride and Leah's favorite was the bears that were swimming.

Daddy's B-day Surprise Weekend

Daddy turned 30... so the family surprised him with a weekend of all the Dschaak's/Wixo's hanging out together. It included a hotel stay, 2 days of swimming with the kids, yummy food and the parents getting out at night to rock out at daddy's favorite band, Unleashed!

I didn't get many pics but it was such a fun time! Happy Birthday to the best daddy ever! We hope you had fun because you deserve it more than anyone!!

July Favorites

Guess there are a lot again :-)













Food

Leah's first real food she tried was squash...


She wasn't so sure about it...

 But it ended up being okay...


Now she's tried carrots, peas, green beans and sweet potoatoes. She's not loving any of them yet, I think she is ready to bring on the fruit :-)
