7 months old - Wow! She sure doesn't seem 7 months old as she's still a peanut having lost a month of growth in the beginning but developmentally she's doing great. She's been sitting up for about a month now and since then has been entertaining herself quite well with toys. It's so nice that I can put her on the floor with a few toys and actually get some house stuff done or just sit and watch her play. Anna is enjoying getting to play with her although we sometimes have to make her let Audrey just play and learn by herself.
She's doing much better eating solids and doesn't mind sitting in her high chair now. She does ok with a sippy cup but still needs some practice. Before too long we'll be introducing finger foods - Yea! She's nursing 4 times a day and sleeping 11-12 hours at night but not consistently. It seems she's up 1-3 nights a week and it usually takes nursing her to get her back to sleep. She's not a great napper: on a good day she'll sleep 30 min to an hour in the morning and 1-2 hours in the afternoon. On a bad day she'll sleep an hour total all day and of course is very cranky, only happy if mommy holds her. Those are some LONG days! I cut her hair on top as it was hanging in her eyes and it looks so much better now. We started doing baby sign language with her about a month ago and she really seems to be concentrating on what our hands are doing. I started it with Anna at 6 months working on "all done", "eat", "more", and "drink" and she signed "all done" at 8 months so I hope we have the same progress with Audrey. Anna's doing it with us now as we teach Audrey and she thinks it's so fun.

7 months already? Sure doesn't seem possible! I cannot believe that Tanner will be 8 months this week! Where does the time go? He has been eating 2nd foods for about two months now and we just tried meats last night, not a big fan! We haven't tried a sippy cup yet, which one are you using with Audrey??
