Brooklyn is 7 months!



Wow, so much has happened! She is crawling and pulling herself up on things. I found her standing up in the bassinet part of her pack n play the other day leaning on our bed which is right next to it, if she would have fallen over she would have fallen out of the crib! Scary. So, I've lowered that now. She also thinks she's big enough to let go from whatever she's holding on to, crazy girl. She's already starting up the stairs too. But, I'm excited she's so active because since day 1 she has not wanted to be a baby so I'm just happy her body is finally doing what she's wanted it to do!


Just 2 nights ago she decided she would finally sleep more than 3 hours at a time! She slept 10 hours last night, alone, by herself... it is seriously a miracle!

She is now formula fed. A combination of losing my milk, being done with it, wanting to lose weight and going to girls camp...I decided it was time. And honestly she is doing so much better. She now drinks her whole bottle where as before when I was bfeeding her she would only drink about 3 ounces. And she's sleeping through the night so she just seems more satisfied so I'm happy about that.

She loves any green baby food, yuck I think its gross. I have to sneak in the fruit in the green beans, funny.

She is still super smiley and happy all the time. We just love our little Brookie.

That is so awesome! Finally you're getting some sleep! You are such an amazing mama!! Good job not losing your mind. I think you might have had to check me into the looney bin.

Zoie is lagging! Although yesterday I not only found her underneath the coffee table (on the shelf) but also in the closet playing with herself in the mirror --too cute!! I think she may stick with the army crawl for a bit...she's is quite motivated by getting one of the cat's tails so we'll see! Part of me thinks formula would be SO much easier, but I keep on with the nursing...self torture I think. Zoie loves the green stuff too! I try to shoot for one green lunch and one orangish dinner. :)
