EMC:: 7 & 8 Months



Sleeping
Elsie is finally sleeping through the night every night!
She has shifted to a 7pm-7am schedule though since she just stopped sleeping until 8am.
After a few nights of just getting up to roll her onto her back and adjust the water proof pad that she loves to hold while she sucks her thumb she just stopped waking up!

She has dropped the third nap most days.
If her first two naps were shorter she may need a third but most days its just two.
Her naps are about 1.5 hours long.

Feeding
Even though we dropped the third nap I'm still nursing her 5 times a day to try to keep my supply up.
I do have to supplement about 4 oz at bedtime too.
Sometimes she'll also want an extra 2 oz after her second nap.
We've added peas, carrots, yogurt (seemed to make her spit up so we stopped that for now), avocado, mango, and zucchini.
We've tried some finger foods too.
She does okay if its really soft like banana.  Otherwise she has a hard time gumming it.

Playing
Sit is officially sitting up on her own!


She loves to play with new things, especially her brothers' play food.

  
She is really wiggly and loves to roll all over.

She loves to be worn in the baby carrier.

She has started to get really attached to me.  
She will get upset if someone else is holding her but she can see me.

She still loves to interact with everyone and always seems to have her open mouthed smile.

She loves being in the bath but had a funny phase where she hated to be rinsed.
