Emma is 7 months old!

Today Emma is 7 months old! She’s really growing so fast! Just a few days ago she finally figured out how to roll from her back onto her stomach (she’s been rolling from stomach to back for a couple of months). It was like a light switched on, and now she is rolling both ways and all around the room! Crawling is not far off. She will push up on her hands, stretch out for toys, and wiggle herself across the carpet.

Saturday she wasn’t feeling well. She threw up a few times, not sure what caused it. But it was really sad to see her feeling so bad. Whatever she had left quickly, by Sunday she was herself again.

We have moved up her into the big girl car seat, since she is really too big for the infant carrier now. This new car seat has to be rear facing until she is one year old, but then we can turn it around. We haven’t taken a ride in the new seat yet, but we sat her in it and she seemed to approve of it, it’s much more comfortable and soft!

She’s now wearing mostly 12 month sized clothes. She can still wear some of her 9 month clothes and she’s in a few 18 month sized shorts. I found an adorable swim suit for her at a garage sale for a quarter, it’s 18 month but not too big for her, and it’s a one piece. I went to Target to get her a few new sleep outfits. I like the ones with the footies that snap from the top to the bottom on the front. Well, they don’t carry those for size 12 months, only 9 months and younger. She’s still fitting in her 9 month ones but it’s getting tight, so I needed to get the next size up. I was disappointed they don’t carry them for 12 months. Instead, they have the little girl pajamas for 12 month and up. They are little 2 piece sets with shorts and a top. They were very cute but I’m not ready for Emma to wear little girl pj’s, I like the baby footed pj’s!

Emma is really starting to like eating solid food too. She’s getting better with opening her mouth for the spoon, and she’s eating more each time too. I still think sweet potatoes are her favorite. We have not tried any fruit yet, I really want her to like her veggies first. She doesn’t really care for the oatmeal cereal though. I may have to try another kind, maybe barley cereal.
