The Sosbes: Rayna (7 months}

Happy 7 months, Rayna Elyse!

Measurements: You are still wearing size 2 diapers and size 3 nighttime diapers. You are wearing mostly 6 month clothes and some 6-9 month clothes. Weight: 17 lbs 6.5 oz Height: 25.75 in

Sleeping: You are still such a good sleeper at night sleeping between 11-12 hours at night. Your naps have changed though...you are either skipping your morning nap or napping off and on while running errands in the morning. Thankfully, you and Rylee still take your long afternoon nap at the same time around 1pm for about 1.5-3 hrs.

Eating: You are still eating four 6 oz bottles a day. You just started eating oatmeal (twice a day) which you love. You also started eating fruits (apples, peaches, & pears) and veggies (peas, sweet potatoes, green beans, & carrots) this month. Every time you begin a new food you make a very funny face while trying to figure out what you are eating, but you love to eat!

New Tricks/Activities/Accomplishments:

Took family photos for Christmas cards
Celebrated your first Thanksgiving at home
Met Santa for the first time.
Got to visit/meet with your Granny, Tom Tom, Aunt Jennifer, Ashlynn, and Hailey.
Rolling all over the place
Started sitting up in the cart at stores and loves it but leans or falls down some ;)
Trying so hard to figure out how to move...will kick, squirm, scoot, turn (in a complete circle), scoot, but not on knees just yet.
Trying to pull herself up mostly to look at big sis and toys!
Great balance this month! Leans over to reach toys and then sits back up.
Stands unassisted while holding on to something for short periods of time.
When she is about to get picked up she will get excited and stick her arms out to be held!
In the 'stranger danger' stage...
Extremely ticklish!
When she gets excited she waves her hands up and down with a big smile!
Grunts/growls all the time!
Sits up in the bathtub now

Likes: LOVES her sister (follows her with her eyes when she walks into the room and lights up when she plays with or talks to her), sitting up or standing (with help), playing with her toys, bathtime, eating in her highchair like a big girl, car rides (finally!)...she usually just stares at Rylee or takes a little nap), being outside, my phone, looking at herself in the mirror, Mickey Mouse, the remote, watching big sis at her gym class, playing peek-a-boo, sitting up in high chair and grocery carts when out,

She loves eating like a big girl!! :)

Sisterly Love

Getting too big too fast!!

Daddy's girls!

Big sis loves to tell Rayna good morning when she wakes up by climbing in bed with her! :)

She is the sweetest to her little sister!! <3

Date night with Mommy & Daddy while big sis sleeps over at Aunt Meras!

The sweetest sisters <3

Looking way too big sitting with Rylee in the shopping cart! Rylee loved having her ride next to her and Rayna loved being able to see everything! #winwin
