Norah is 7 months and is getting so big! She had her 6 month
wellness check this month and is doing great. She was 27.75” (96%), head
circumference of 17.25” (84%), and weighed 19 lbs. (88%). She didn’t like the
shots, but handled it pretty well. The doctor said she is developing well and
can start eating basically anything whenever we think she is ready!
Norah has gotten even more interactive this month. She loves
to be in the action and to see what’s going on. She does well with other people
holding her, most of the time, and has been to the nursery a few times! She can
pull herself up a little on things, but not all the way yet. She sits up well
with occasional topples, and wants to go from laying to sitting on her own in
the worst way. She can lift her bottom up a little and wiggle back and forth
when on her tummy, but doesn’t crawl yet. She can scoot backwards a little when
she really gets kicking and moving.
She can do a few tricks sometimes, like giving kisses, high
fives, “so big,” and arching her back and going upside down. A few times she
has been a show off, and knowing when people are watching/laughing, so she will
continue to do something. (There were two times this month where she threw a
mini tantrum and cried when we took something away from her, which was a first,
but thankfully that’s not a regular occurrence, and hopefully won’t become
one!) We are still working on baby sign language, but she hasn’t done any back
yet.
Norah was on a really good schedule this month. She had been
before, but her naps improved a lot this month. She has never been a long
napper, but got more regular with naps this month and a little longer. She
usually takes three naps a day now- late morning, midafternoon, and early
evening, each about 45 minutes. She still nurses 4 times a day and eats solids
twice a day. She is a good eater, usually, and eats everything! Bananas are her
favorite, we think. She tends to like fruits better than vegetables, but will
eat it all. Norah has been sleeping awesome at night and usually sleeps from
10-8:30 or 9.
Norah loves to go for walks outside, talk/babble, chew on
cups, take baths, play with toys, sit up, reach for objects, and be with mom
and dad! We think Norah’s front teeth are starting to come in, but can’t see
them yet. We love you Norah!
