Scarlett - 7 Months

Scarlett turned seven months on Sunday (Mother's Day!) and she is still just as cute as can be. I sure hope she is growing since it seems like she is eating all the time. Here are a few things I want to remember about this stage:

- Sleeps in her crib 10-12 hours a night. Still cries a bit before falling asleep, but it seems to be getting better.

- Naps very inconsistently and almost never in her crib. (Two naps today in her crib which has never happened before!!!)

- Eats solids three times a day and eats just about everything. Loves bananas, applesauce, pears, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes and squash. We started her on meats to try to fatten her up but she hates them.

- Nurses 5-6 times a day

- Cries whenever I put her down or give her to someone else.

- Sits up by herself for just a few seconds. I'm sure it would be better if she would ever let me put her down.

- Loves playing with the beanie baby flamingo Grandma Anderson gave her along with her baby doll and any toys Eleanor leaves lying around.

- Laughs and smiles whenever she is around Eleanor.
