Genevieve is seven months today! She continues to be such a sweet, mellow and happy little girl. She is such a joy to have around and we cannot imagine our family with out her!Here are some recent milestones:
- Genevieve's favorite playtime activity is just being on the floor with toys or other interesting things around her. We brought out the walker this week but she hasn't starting really walking in it. She still spends a little time in the exersaucer and jumper but she doesn't enjoy them as much as she did a month ago (too confining, I think).
- Genevieve loves to sit outside in the grass and watch her siblings play while she sucks on a toy or anything interesting (though hopefully not a dirty flip-flop :)
- Genevieve is so close to cutting her first tooth; I felt something yesterday but it is still not quite through.
- Genevieve started her first little bit of scooting and moving around on the floor a few days after she turned 6 months. Now she scoots quite a bit and rocks on all fours. We have seen her (over a 5 minute period) move 5+ feet from where she started. She seems very close to crawling.
- Genevieve is so happy and always wanting to laugh and smile. She will sometimes start laughing or giggling when she sees her brothers or sister. So fun!
- Genevieve is sitting up on her own for a long time now though we have to be careful to put something soft behind her because she will fall back and hit her head sometimes after one minute or five minutes.
- She makes the sweetest sound when she sees her mom especially when she wants to nurse. It is not a cry but more a whimper like she really wants me. Too sweet!
- Genevieve is still just nursing. She will take a bottle of breastmilk if needed. No food yet...but soon; her siblings can't wait to feed her! She nurses every 2-4 hours but it takes just 5 minutes (unless I want to snuggle with her for longer :).
- Genevieve is still a good sleeper. We've been getting to bed later with it being summer so she's been sleeping from 10:00 pm until sometime between 6:00 am and 8:00 am (in her crib), drinking and then sleeping another hour or more with us. She usually takes one 2+ hour nap in her crib during the day then another two shorter naps (30-60 minutes) in the car or in our arms (usually at a soccer practice :) She is getting pretty good at falling asleep on her own but will often need us to put her nuk back in or stroke her head once or twice after we put her down.

I just looked at Jacoby's milestones at 7 months and they're so similar to Nev at this stage! Both scooting and sick of the exersaucer. Both laughing and interested in everything around them. The biggest differences are eating habits (J was eating 3 meals/day) and night sleeping habits (J was still getting up 1x night to nurse). Fun to look back!!
Caroline has that same dress. I absolutely love it.
