Almost 7 Months

Does anyone still read this blog? If not, I am updating anyways so I will be able to look back and see how far she's come. 

Aimee will be 7 months old in 2 days and is over 11 pounds and 23" long. Last week on Wednesday she was 11 pounds 3 ounces. She eats Similac sensitive formula, usually 4 ounces every 2-3 hours during the day. Around 20-25 oz on average in a day. She's not a big eater, but she's gaining weight and she's come a long way from being 2lb 2oz and eating 1ml every 2 hours. 

Aimee can now roll front to back really well, back to front she just started doing 2 days ago on Easter. On Saturday, she stood up just holding onto a toy. She's got very strong legs for such a little girl. She isn't fully sitting up on her own yet, but she's getting there. She can do it for a few seconds. Maybe in the next 2-3 weeks she will get it. She's babbling like crazy and loves to play with her toys. Everything goes in her mouth. She likes to play in her Exersaucer and just yesterday turned the seat for the first time. 

She sleeps in her crib now too. I put her to bed around 9pm and she sleeps most days until daddy gets up for work at 7:30, eats and goes back to sleep until between 9 and 10. Some days, she has a bottle between 4 and 5am. 

She is FINALLY off sodium. It took 6 months. She went back on it for a month and after she stopped, we waited a week and took her for blood work and finally had normal levels. 

She goes for her 3 month eye exam on April 11. Hopefully nothing has changed with that and then it will be 6 months and then once a year.

At 3 months corrected (so about a month and a half ago), she had her 3 month corrected neonatal follow-up. She was doing everything a 3 month old should be doing and more. In the last month and a half, she's done SO much more. She really does change every day. 

She just woke up from her nap, so time to go get her.
