Eatin' Puffs

So, India will be 8 months old this Saturday. She's still growing like a weed and learning all kinds of new things. She's working really hard on crawling but is really good at scootin' backwards. It's funny because she gets frustrated when she doesn't go forward. She'll have it down soon though. I've also started feeding her "puffs". It's something she can pick up and put in her mouth by herself. It's supposed to teach her to use her pincher fingers. She's gotten it pretty good. Here's a picture of her right after she put one in her mouth.

So cute! LOL. After all the teething issues we've had, there is still no sign of any surfacing. I'm sure she'll get them soon though.

Other than that, we are just enjoying being around her. She's so happy and her laugh is contagious. I love it. She's the most awesome thing in the world.

Cute In a Beanie...

India looks so cute in all her little hats...Here she is with her knit beanie...

Over 7 Months!!

India turned 7 months on the 18th and I’ve been meaning to get some pictures of her but been so busy. I finally did some the other night. Her biggest accomplishment so far is getting up on her knees a rocking forward. She really wants to crawl! I’m so excited...except now I have to child proof my house.

She's also bouncing a whole lot when she gets excited. We call it her "Baby Dance"

Teething

The past week India's really been struggling. I think her teeth are really trying to come in. Poor baby girl.  :(

Pictures from February

These are all pictures from February. Some of them you've already seen, but I was playing around with a sepia treatment and liked the results. Enjoy!

Mmmmm, veggies

So far India's made it through squash and green beans. We started her on sweet peas last night. I tasted them and they weren't too bad. She didn't seem to have a problem with them. She's also holding her own bottle now and working on the sippy cup. I think she does better without handles, so I need to get her a sippy cup without handles.

Other than that, she's sitting up really good and skootin' around on the floor. She's so happy and I love her so much!!! I'll have more pictures soon.

Eatin' Good!

We've started India on veggies - first up is squash. She seems to like it when it's really cold, but when I feed it to her room temp she makes some really funny faces. Tonight will be the last night for squash and then we're switching to green beans!

She's also getting really good at holding her bottle. I let her do it while she's eating her cereal so that she gets used to holding the bottle up and drinking in sips rather than the entire bottle at once. It's working out pretty good so far. She'll be using a sippy cup in no time!

So much progress!!

There has been so much going on that I haven't had time to update the site. 

India had her 6month appointment on Friday, February 20th. She got her shots and weighed in at 16lbs 10.5oz. That puts her in the 60th percentile for weight. She is only 25in long which puts her at 25th percentile for height. She's gonna be short like her mommy.

Other developements:

Other than finding her toes, India has been rolling onto her tummy from her back for a few weeks now and is really good at it. She is learning how to control her hand, arm and leg muscles. She puts her bottle in her mouth but doesn't know to hold it up for milk... I have to help her. She kicks like crazy when I'm trying to change her diaper and she likes to bounce around when she's sitting on our laps.

She'll be crawling very soon! Last night she pushed herself all the way across her blanket three or four times. She's not raising up onto her hands and knees yet, so her tummy is dragging, but she's getting around pretty good already. I recorded some of it but like everything else, once I get the camcorder out she stops doing whatever I'm trying to capture. :( Boo

Mommy and Daddy are doing good and love her so much. It's a joy to be around her and I miss her so much when we're apart. The highlight of my day is walking in to Nana's house and seeing the big smile on her face when she sees me.

Here are some cute pictures of India and her Daddy from the other night...

6 Months Old!

India turned 6 months old yesterday! She also had a big accomplishment - she found her toes!!

India's Got a Cold :(

Everyone around us has gotten the flu. India and I are the only ones that haven't gotten it yet (knock on wood). So last week I had to stay home with her because Nana had the flu and couldn't watch her. On Thursday, India started coughing and was feeling a little warm to me so I went ahead and took her to the doctor. Just so you know, they can't do anything for babies that are under 1year if they get the flu. All you can do is treat the symptoms, which is pretty much just giving tylenol for fever and aches/pains. Made me sad, but the doctor said that if India had the flu that it was too early to tell anyway. So they checked her for everything else and she has a sore throat and cough. Doc said hopefully it's just a cold. So they sent us on our way. But we got to find out how much she weighs!! LOL. She's at 16lbs 9.5oz!

Other updates:

I really loved all the time I got to spend with India last week. She is the happiest baby in the world. Even for not feeling well. She smiles all the time and loves to laugh. I finally mastered giving her medicine with a dropper and not having her spit it all out, and India mastered turning over from her back to her stomach. She's such a pro now that it takes her only a couple of seconds. Yesterday I layed her on her back, turned around to get her toys to put on the floor for her, and when I turned back she was already on her belly. She's also getting really good at sitting up. Still needs some support, but she's getting there. I have a feeling that crawling isn't too far away!!
