7 Months Old!


Happy 7 month birthday my sweet angel!!!! (posting a few days late) Mommy is so proud of you sweet heart! You are changing so much every day & learning a million things every week.

You are now:

-Eating most all number 2 baby foods (although everyday the amount varies a bunch!)
- You are getting up and rocking on all 4's (I know you will be crawling soooo soon!)
-Just this week have started trying to wave (SOOO cute!!)
-No teeth just yet...... but I'm sure your little mouth has been hurting lately...... so I'm sure those little teeth are on their way
-Every once and a while you are sleeping through the night! WoooHooo! (hopefully that will get more consistent too)
- You usually have 2 naps during the day now
-You love your doggies! You try to touch, pat, and even kiss/lick them! Ha!
- You have started sticking your tongue all the way out to your chin (sooo funny)!
- You love our long walks when the weather is beautiful!
- You laugh & giggle at funny sounds, doggies, and lots of random things.
- You walk all around the house with Mommy holding your arms up!
- You now enjoy an afternoon snack (juice and a cracker/biscuit).
- Your hair seems to be growing so much now!! It is so light .... it is sometimes hard to see all of it..... but it is taking off now!! :)

You are the love & light of my life angel girl!!!! I love you with all of my being!

We're back..... almost!! :)

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!!! Wow! I am just totally out of the loop of everything! Bree is finally starting to come out of this RSV crap! YAY!! RSV s-t-i-n-k-s!!! RSV is a respiratory virus, and the Doc. says it has a honeycomb type effect in your lungs. So, basically, all of the sticky snotty stuff just attached to Bree's little lungs, making it really hard for her to cough it out! My poor sweet baby! We had/have her on a bunch of homeopathic stuff to lessen the RSV stuff, plus asthma type drops for her breathing. If any of you have ever had to take asthma meds., you probably know that they can make you kind of nervous at times. Well, shortly after we started on the drops, Bree started not sleeping well at all. I mean even before she got sick we had gone back to 3am or 4am feedings, but after she got sick we were up all hours of the night. I thought for a while that she just felt like crap & couldn't get comfortable. Then, she started getting up & staying up from 3-6am. So, I had know idea what was going on. My mom finally reminded me how nervous Albuteral use to make her. Genius! I had totally forgotten! So, we started trying to avoid doing all the meds right before bedtime. It has helped some. :) Bree is also slowly getting her appetite back! Yay!!! So, I think that will also help with getting more sleep!

Anyway, I will try to play catch up these next few days or so. Nothing like posting Christmas pictures a month later...... haha!

I hope everyone is well! Thank you all who have emailed, called, and prayed for our little Bree! GOOD BYE RSV...... please, please never return!! :)
