loulou:: 7months






Louisa-Grey Statistics

Age: 7 months
Weight:  17.5 lbs
Length: 29 inches
Size: 9 months/6-12 months; size 3 diapers
Eyes: sparkly blue; lots of white flecks. you often squint because you smile so big and scrunch up your face.
Hair: blonde and shiny, growing in nicely
Teeth: i took off your amber teething necklace and the only difference is a bit more drool, which i don’t mind. you cut your first tooth this week… you now like feeling your tooth with your tongue. it’s so cute.
Nicknames: i call you lovey quite a bit.
Sleeping: you dropped your 11 o’clock feed!  you sleep 6:30pm-6am, eating at 3am. i like this new schedule.
Naps: basically the same as it’s been. you like to sleep in the car if we go out in the morning. days spent at home, you have a nap between 10 and 11 o’clock. then you nap between 1-3pm, most days.
Eating: we have a good schedule going… you eat at 6am/9am/12pm/2pm/6pm, and eat an ounce+ of rice cereal at 5pm… you had some sweet potato this week, too. i’m super relaxed with you and solids; it took a couple of weeks for you to get the hang of it anyway, but, you like it now!
Movement: feb 10th, you started crawling. no hesitation, perfect technique. ten days later, you crawled into my bathroom while charlottes. was in the tub, and pulled yourself up to standing to watch her. you love standing up!
Milestones: crawling. standing up. starting solids. cutting your first tooth!
Outings: we went to seattle while daddy was on his 9-day trip. you spent a lot of time in the ergo carrier and loved it because you love to snuggle. you enjoyed a day with charlottes. and me in downtown vancouver as well; i shot some portraits and you slept in the stroller. you are so content.
Favorite toys/activities:  you are fond of the gloworm, now. and you like books when charlottes. is reading; you want to chew them. you notice puppies! i guess it’s in your genetics to be another animal lover. we say you love to “plunder”; plundering is definitely a favorite loulou. activity.
Words/sounds: “bababababa”, “da”, and the past couple of mornings in bed, we have quite enjoyed having you smush your nose onto ours and whisper a lengthy “hiiiiiiiiiiii” to us. it’s hilarious. and, you like smacking your lips, which is cute, and sounds like a kiss (you try giving us kisses, too, actually.).
Memorable moments: seeing your personality emerge has been my favorite part of this past month with you. you are a charmer, and like to tilt your head over and smile at people to get a reaction. you are just incredibly pleased with yourself these days. i love this stage of infancy.
