Almost 7 months... and still awesome.
I'd say that I've been meaning to post for awhile now, but that would be all too stereotypical for a blog. I'll just say, hello!
Ms. Audrey Lou is coming up on 30 weeks, aka 7 months! It's pretty amazing watching her go through all of the developmental milestones. She can now sit up with very little assistance, grab things, suck on things, roll over both ways and, most recently, has 2 precious teeth! The first one showed up a couple weeks ago and the second one soon after. She's a developmental over-achiever.
We introduced solid foods at around 4-5 months and she has loved them from the get-go. She got the hang of it really quickly and even coos when she's really enjoying the meal. There is a fantastic video of her first experience with peas - not a big fan. The poor thing is gagging and I'm laughing so hard that she's smiling through the gagging. She is such a champ.
Childcare is actually going better than I could've expected. It probably helps that she isn't super attached to me(or anyone) quite yet so drop offs are a cinch. The other big factor is that the teachers are amazing. Brenda, Violet and Eric have such a calm about them and genuinely care for the kids. I know they love Audrey - likely because she's pretty easy going and cute as the dickens. No, really. Strangers are always telling us how beautiful she is and I get multiple "ooos" and "ahhs" when I post pictures on facebook. She's seriously cute and has big, brown, gorgeous eyes. Still not sure how Phil plus me equals cutest baby ever.
Little Miss is still a great night sleeper, although her latest trick is waking up around 3am to nurse. She takes short little naps throughout the day, usually around 30 minutes. It would probably be easier to work from home if those naps were extended a bit, but I'll take a good night's sleep any day.
I'll end with a few pics - there are 250+ prints in the mail to me as we speak. Girl is well documented. She's smiling much more for the camera but is still a hard bargain for laughs. The exception being when Harvey is running around on one of his spastic episodes, darting to and fro. Hey, it's hilarious, I don't blame her.
