Almost 7 months!!!

Well, I just found this as a draft. Makena is now 10 1/2 months old and I will start a post on that... hopefully, it won't stay as a draft for the next 3 1/2 months. :)

Cute Makena turns seven months old on October 10th. She is doing great at her babysitters and loves her friends there. She loves her daddy's beard and laughs when he rubs it against her chin. She also loves to rub her hands through it.

Makena had her first ear infection a few weeks ago. She had a fever of 102 and just miserable. She got put on antibiotics which were awful as we'll. it was a rough couple of weeks. But she is off the medication and is so much happier.

She has loved trying new foods!! She loves sweet potatoes, pears, chicken and rice, carrots, and banana. She eats 6 1/2 ounces of formula every four hours with two or three tablespoons of solids twice a day.

She weighs 19 lbs and is 27'' tall.

She can sit unsupported, roll all around, and scoot backwards. Although, when she scoots backwards it is because she wants a toy in front of her. So it is rather disheartening for her to watch it get farther away. She has recently been opening and closing her mouth over and over and has been doing constant "raspberries" with her lips and therefore spraying us with little sprinkles of baby spit.

Makena has a walker and has again only managed to go backwards. She has short chunky legs that barely reach the ground so it's easier to push back on her tippy toes.

She has been rolling around in her crib and seems to like sleeping on her side and tummy the most. I still put her down on her back but she doesn't stay that way.

She reaches and grabs things crazy fast. Something grazes her hand or catches her eye and she has an insane grip in about 0.002 seconds. And then it goes straight to the mouth. I guess it's time to start baby proofing.
