Happy 7 Months Lil' Lady!

Namera,
This has been a big month for you. On Saturday, May 2 you turned 7 months old. You are weighing just over 16 pounds. You are still a rolly polly but everyone thinks you look so little. You are still wearing 3-6 month and 6 month clothes. You are wearing size 3 disposable diapers.
On April 16 you officially became a sitter.
You love that you are able to sit and look around and grab what you want now. We also have put you in your jumper. Sometimes you like it but you never want to stay in there too long.
You had a lot of firsts this month.
First Easter.




First baseball game.




First airplane ride.


First vacation to San Diego.



First feet in the ocean.

First time meeting your second cousins.

This was also a busy month.  You went to our Mom's Club egg hunt.

You went to two birthday parties.
We hosted a playdate for your friends.
On Easter you tried solid food for the first time and you gagged.
Two days later you gagged until you puked. Two more days later you did that again. You HATE food. You continually gag so you are on a break until you feel better from a virus you caught and we will try again.
You are really loving swim class. You go under water with no issues and have almost stopped falling asleep in class. You still hate getting bathed but at least we know its not the water you hate.
After swim you have been taking amazing naps, 1-2 hours, sometimes even in your car seat.
Your sleep in general has improved for naps. You are pretty much only taking 3 naps a day. Your middle nap has been 1-2 hours lately but I don't know if that is because you have been sick or that is your new schedule. I'm hoping this is your new schedule because it just happens to be at the same time as your brother;) At night you are still normally waking just once after your dream feed but when you aren't feeling well it increases to 2-4 times.
You are dealing with some major separation anxiety. You don't want to be held by anyone but Mama. Half the time if I'm not holding you, you don't want anyone to look at you either. It's a bit tough but I do believe you will get through this. Lucas is still your favorite person though. If he is around you all you do is smile.
Yes, you love your tongue! Almost every smiling picture your tongue is out. You also like your toes:)
No teeth yet and I don't see them through your gums so I still think you have some time. You also will not take a bottle and we are casually working on that. You may just use a sippy cup but right now straws make you gag too.
Oh, you are a ticklish one! Even if you are crying if I tickle your tummy or neck you can't help but laugh and laugh. It is an amazing sound.
We love you so much little lady! 
Mama and Dadda
