Wrenn is 7 Months Old!

Feeding:  Our little lady can use a sippy cup like a champ!  We started with sippy cups right at 6 months, and it only took her a few days to understand the basic concept.  She's quite drippy with her sippy cup but gets the job done.  We don't feed her at night anymore, so all of her nourishment comes during the day.  She'll have 1/2 to 2/3rds of a jar of food at each meal followed by 4 oz of formula or juice.  She also has a small bottle before each of her naps and at night before she goes to bed.  

Sleeping:  Ugh.  With the two teeth and a cold this month, sleeping hasn't been great.  She often goes to bed easily at first, but wakes up sometime between midnight and 3am.  We've tried letting her cry it out, but she has stamina like her sister.  At one hour of crying, when Mama and Daddy are going insane because they have to work in the morning, Mama usually goes in to rock her back to sleep.  Wrenn doesn't like to be put down at that point, because she's in such a tizzy from crying for so long, that she and Mama end up sleeping on the chair together.  Ugh.  You'd think after three kids I'd have this figured out.  I do not. She's still taking a morning and afternoon nap, but rarely naps in the evenings now.

Diapers:  Size 3.  Wrenn has slowly been distinguishing herself from her siblings.  One way in which she takes the crown is in wiggliness during diaper changes and clothes changes.  This child is a fighter!  She enacts the alligator death roll whenever she can in order to escape.  Spin, spin, spin!

Clothes:  Anywhere between 9 months and 18 months.  Not much change in size from last month.  

Disposition:  She's not as much of a smiley goofer anymore.  Perhaps it was the teeth and the cold, but she's been a little needy and fussy lately.  She certainly likes her mama and has grown scared of strangers picking her up.    

Places:  We've been to a few football and volleyball games to see cousins this month.

Fun Facts:  She can not only sit up but also crawls all over the house.  At the beginning of the month she was just moving a few inches, but look out for her now!  She's exploring the house, including all the small nooks and crannies that only babies can get themselves into.
