Milestones:
Daisy has officially entered the crawling stage. It's more of an army crawl, but she's constantly on her hands and knees rocking herself back and forth.
The blanket I lay out for her to play on no longer seems big enough, she still ends up on the hardwood most of the time. She's also sitting up on her own but for a short amount of time each time.
As long as she has something in front of her to keep her occupied she does really well, it's when she starts looking around that she flops backwards or sideways. I've been sitting her on the floor surrounded by a ring of pillows and toys so that when she falls she's got a soft landing. Twice in the last week I have found Daisy sleeping on her tummy with her butt straight up in the air! A few times she's been twisted, chest down, legs off to the side. Both of these are huge because she used to not go back to sleep if she rolled onto her tummy. She looks so precious when she sleeps this way it just makes my heart leap. I'd share a picture but I'm not crazy enough to risk waking a sleeping baby!
Food:
As far as food goes Daisy has tried Peas, squash, carrots, cereal, and bananas. She likes: Carrots, carrots, and carrots.
At this rate she will probably be an Oompa Loompa baby in no time. Last night I made my first batch of homemade organic carrot baby food and it is freezing as we speak. I made about 50 oz for $2! It's say it's well worth the time! Green beans and sweet potatoes are on the menu for daisy to try next!
I can't believe Daisy is already 7 1/2 months old! I weighed her the other day and she weighs about 15 lbs and she's still wearing 3-6 months clothes. We've got a peewee on our hands!
I can't get enough of these organic cotton pjs! I used to think sleepers were the cutest thing but they don't compare to these! And check out that belly button! Is it not just the most precious thing you've ever seen?! Daisy does this little pose that looks like she's doing her crunches. She does it while playing, laying down, getting her diaper changed, in the car seat, all the time! She's going to have abs way before I ever do!
I believe my daughter is park monkey. She's constantly trying to hold things with her feet, she'll pinch your skin with her toes, and she even tries to pull the duck on her carseat with them! She was trying to figure out how to pick up her cow and book at the same time. It was adorable!
I prefer the velcro closures since they give a more accurate fit around the waist, though some people complain they collect lint just like any other velcro closure. These covers come in 2 sizes, Size One and Size Two, but each size had 3 size options, choosing the snap that make the most secure fit. I highly recommend these covers! Having the multiple size options per cover means you have to buy less of them in the long run!
