Penelope's Nursery

Here's a photo dump of Penny's nursery. Sorry I haven't shared any photos until now. I had so much fun putting it together. Some of my plans changed and some projects were ditched due to her early arrival but I like how it turned out. It's my favorite room in the house...but that might have something to do with her...

Penelope is SEVEN Months Old!

It is such an honor and joy to be your parents. You are the light of our lives. We so love watching you grow each and every day.

Adjusted Age: 5 months

Weight: No well visit this month, but you are around 14.5 lbs.

Diaper Size:  Size 2

Clothing Size: 3-6 month clothes fit you perfectly but we might have to switch you to 6-9 month pjs soon.

Diet: You are eating 5-6 ounces every 3 hours. You still usually want a bottle after we breastfeed and once a day we offer you baby food or mashed soft food.

Sleep: You are still pretty inconsistent when it comes to napping and some days you won't nap unless I'm holding you. You have become a terrible sleeper at night. I feel like we have a newborn again! I am hopeful it is a phase that is short lived. 

Baby Gear Love: You are enjoying your Jumeroo more now and even have fun spinning the toys. Your love for your activity mat continues and I think we'll make the switch to the ball pit soon. You love your little piano and your stuffed animals. 

Milestones/Firsts: You are prop sitting and I don't think it'll be long before you are able to sit up straight! We have started offering you a sippy cup with water when we give you food. You LOVE it and are getting so good at doing it yourself. You have no interest in holding your bottle though.You use both your hands equally well and have been passing toys between your hands for some time now. You babble all the time and love to talk! You clearly say "Momma" and "baba" but I'm not sure you know what they mean yet. You are now reaching for me if some one else is holding you or if you are playing on the floor and love it so much. 

Likes:  Singing, smiling, talking, laughing, standing, snuggling with Mom, playing with Dad, raspberries on your tummy, blowing raspberries yourself, being tickled, going for walks in the stroller, reading books, rocking, splashing in the bath, watching the cats and dog, pinching and pulling Mom's hair, sitting in your highchair and playing while I prepare dinner. You are really into hearing your own voice and there are days you scream for hours...just for fun.

Dislikes: You get bored easily with activities so I try to keep you on a rotation to keep you interested.  Sometimes we even put you in the stroller and push you around the house! The dog likes that too! You get really upset and throw a big fit if we take something away from you that you shouldn't have.

Things I Don’t Want to Forget: Just how precious you are! Your face lights up when people talk to you, especially when it's Mom or Dad.  I think you might be an extrovert, but we'll have to wait and see. It is so much fun to watch you discover new things - like your voice.
