Charlie Dawn: 7 Months

STATS:

Length - 27? inches

Weight - 18lbs ?

SLEEP: Sleep is still all over the map. We are down to only waking once or twice in the night. It's been hard to judge the past week or so because she has been working on cutting her first tooth, and with that, she's super congested, so I'm sure sleep has been uncomfortable for her, but last night, she slept from 8pm-5am, so I'm hoping we are on the up with sleep.

SKILLS AND DEVELOPMENT: 

- Charlie is rolling all over the place, seriously, you look over and she is gone!

- Sitting up. She can't yet push herself to sit up but she can sit unassisted if you put her in that position.

- Charlie is nearly crawling. She gets herself up onto all fours and rocks back and forth. I'm sure it won't be long now before she's taking off.

- She is so observant. She loves watching everything going on around her.

- She is just now starting to get into babbling. Not a lot, but she is starting to make more sounds and they are so cute.

BIG SISTER: Palmer has nothing but love for Charlie. She loves her hard. A hard, smothering love. But, Charlie love its. She's always giggling at Palmer, and giving her the biggest smiles. Palmer is so good with her too. She is such a protective, helpful big sister. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make Charlie stop crying." And, most of the times, its true. Palmer is always keeping tabs up on Charlie too. When we are driving, "Mom, Charlie is just looking out her window." or "Mommy, Charlie is sleeping." LOVE!

MY THOUGHTS: Just like every month that passes, I can't believe another has gone by. This is by far my most favourite stage to watch them together. They can actually sit and play together, and interact with each other.
