Age - 7 months old

No Height and Weight Check this month... we don't see the pediatrician until 9 months!

Diaper Size - 3

Clothing - Carter's 9 month fits the best... but she's also wearing 6-12 month clothes too. We're also starting to use hair bows since her hair is getting longer!

Sleeping habits - Pretty much the same as the last few months. We start our bed time routine around 6:30 p.m. after Lila has some "dinner". After a bath and feeding Lila, we read three books, always ending with On the Night You Were Born. She is usually pretty sleepy and this month we only make it to the extra books 1/2 of the nights of the week! She's still sleeping until anywhere in between 5:30-7:30 a.m. Sometimes she's gotten up to visit, however she usually goes back down pretty easy. She's also been sleeping with a warm air humidifier to keep her room warm and help keep her healthy too! She takes 2-3 naps a day... depending on how she's feeling! She also can nap anywhere!

Eating habits - Fruits, Veggies, Cereal, Oh My! We are in full swing of the solid foods! I've been making all of her fruits and veggies with the Beaba Baby Cook. I've had to experiment with a lot of creating the right consistency for Lila but she's getting better about eating. She like fruits more than veggies currently however I'm hoping that will change. She's also still nursing and eating two bottles with Miss Sue. She also is very excited about drinking water... especially when she gets to drink out of a glass.

Don't worry, it's just water.

Yum Yum

Favorite activity - "jumping" up and down and playing with mommy and daddy

Cutest Moment of the Month - Dancing. In the car, in her bed, in her high chair. She dances everywhere! My favorite is in her car seat, sometimes she's really dancing while I'm driving!

My First Christmas!

I do realize that Christmas seems like it was forever ago, however I never got to tell everyone about my first Christmas! Mommy, Daddy, and I were VERY busy. On Christmas Eve we went to church, then had dinner at Mimi and Pop Pop's house. Right when Mommy and Daddy were done eating we went back to our house for Nana, Grandpa, Auntie Kari, Uncle Matt, and the rest of the Schaab family joined us for dessert. I got to stay up late to visit with everyone, but then Mommy and I read, Twas the Night Before Christmas before I went to sleep.

When I woke up on Christmas morning Santa had come! I was so excited to see all of my presents! I especially loved the shiny bows and fun paper. We then went to open presents with Mimi and Pop Pop and Auntie Libby, Uncle Matt, Auntie Tina, Uncle Mark, Auntie Jess, and Uncle Ben. Then some of my great aunts came over along with great grandma and great grandpa for brunch. It was a great morning and afternoon but I was excited to go home and rest after a very busy two days. Mommy, Daddy, and I had some family time on Christmas Night which we all enjoyed.

We had Grandpa, Nana, Auntie Kari, Uncle Jeremy, Uncle Matt, and Auntie Olivia over for lunch on the 26th for a belated Christmas. We had a great time opening more presents! My aunts and uncles really enjoyed playing with my new toys with me... Maybe even a little more than I did!

Look at all of the presents!

Santa brought me a tea set! Now I can have a tea party!

My own musical table! Hopefully it plays Usher!

The bows were SO MUCH FUN!

Mommy and Daddy bought be this beautiful locket that has an "L" on it. I'll have to wait until I'm older to wear it.

Daddy loved this sweater Mommy bought him!

More legwarmers in my stocking... and a dolly!

I had a great first Christmas and I can't wait for next year!

Play Dates

Not only did I get to hang out with my mom for the past two weeks, I also got to have some fun play dates!

Here is my new friend Cooper. He's mommy's friend Becky's son. He was born October 6th, so I'm a little bit older. We got to hang out for a little bit while Mommy caught up with Becky and Mark. It was great to make a new boyfriend! He lives in Vegas, so I probably won't see him for a little while... Come back and visit again soon Cooper!

The next day we had another play date! This time my buddies Owen and Amelia came over! We had a great date... that lasted ALL afternoon! We all played together and even took turns napping.
