Rylee {7 months}

Happy 7 months to our sweet Rylee Lynn! We love you more than you know. You are such a little character and I love this stage you are in right now! I feel like the time is flying by and you will be 1 before we know it. Slow down sweet girl...

Growth/Development:

• Weight- 17 lbs
• Wearing 6 & some 6-9 month clothes
• Still in size 2 diapers (almost size 3)
• Rylee is eating 6-7 oz every 3 hrs during the day (eats 5 times). I am nursing her twice a day and the other three feedings are bottles. She is also eating oatmeal in the morning and vegetables for supper.
• Sits up straight and tall!
• Talks ALL the time!! Sounds like she is saying hi, hey, da dad.
• Loves to play, interact, and watch her big cousins
• Rolling all over the place and doing back bends to see upside down LOL!
• Rylee has started rocking back and forth on her tummy, scooting around on the floor, and has gotten on her knees a couple of times trying to move or reach her toys. I can tell she wants to move so bad and she probably will be crawling sooner than later!

Favorites:

• She LOVES when we sing to her (especially the itsy bitsy spider), to talk, to close things (lids on her toys), to be tickled, she likes to be thrown in the air & hang upside down by Daddy, playing on our bed, jumping in her exersacauer, eating solids in her high chair, siting up like a big girl in the cart while shopping, and playing with her cousins.

Firsts/Milestones:

• Celebrated her first Valentines with Mommy & Daddy
• Tried fruit for the first time and loved it!
• Met her extended family at our family reunion this month
• Went to the zoo for the first time to see all the animals (especially the elephants)
• Rode like a big girl in the shopping cart
• Got her first black eye from falling out of her high chair :(
• Ate vegetables for the first time and LOVED it (carrots, sweet potatoes, sweet peas, squash, & green beans)! She can power a whole little jar down in 5 minutes. She's a good little eater :)

She is so close to moving! :)

Rylee loves shaking her head back and forth. So funny!

Love you to the moon & back<3
