Growing everyday...and not without growing pains!

She's wearing the scarf Auntie Leah made for her!  So cute and should fit her for a while.  :)

The doctor visit was Friday...Dave did not get to come to this one.  She weighed 14lbs 9oz and 25in long.  Her pediatrician said she looks great!  She had to get 3 shots and 1 oral vacc.  She only cried for a second due to the shots and didn't cry when she had her ears looked at this time.  Nothing too much changes except for some foods that she can now have, and that she might be crawling soon.  Meeting her sitting milestone is the biggest for this age - yay! 

Speaking of sitting...while we were playing on the floor yesterday, she was sitting and I wasn't too far away from her with my legs on each side of her to keep her from falling all of the way over, but she spit up on her clothes & when I turned to grab the burpcloth I had to move my leg, and in that split second she fell back and hit her head on the floor!  I was terrified, but she only cried for a minute and had a tiny red spot that went away quickly.  I think it scared her more than it hurt.  I know the mobile she gets, the more bumps and bonks will come, but it's so sad to see her cry! 

She is sleeping longer than 30mins for some of her naps now, they have been closer to 1.5 or almost 2 hrs sometimes.  It's thrown her eating routine off a little bit, and seems like she might be getting closer to only 2 naps a day.  Most days she only nurses 5 times, and some days it's only 4 times if she sleeps a lot.  She is still nursing and eating solids 2x/day, usually cereal mixed with fruit for breakfast/brunch and mixed veggies for dinner.  We've still been sitting at the table altogether for dinner around 7pm before Dave goes to night job at Home Depot.  After dinner he leaves, then Marlee and I start the bedtime routine and she's usually asleep by 9pm.  She usually isn't up for the day until 8:30 am or so, most night being in bed 12hrs total (probably only sleeping 10-11 b/c of wake time).  We'll be starting meat next month and finger foods at 8-9months.  She's loving sharing our strawberry real fruit bars/popsicles.  Don't see any teeth yet, and she's still in size 2 diapers.  Still hasn't been sick...KNOCK ON WOOD...but she does have a pretty good rash going around her mouth.  Her doc said it was from contact (toys, saliva, food, etc.) and maybe a food sensitivity, but we've been putting cream on it daily to try to block out the moisture.  Hope it gets better soon!  Such a big girl!
