Elliot's 7 Month Update

Dear Elliot,

This month we had your Aunty's and Uncle's birthdays and your cousin's first birthday too! It was also a big one for us, with Jackson starting school and Florence going back to preschool, which meant that we have had some lovely one-on-one time. Dada and I also left you with your grandparents for the first time, while we went out for Lunch for our anniversary. 


Milestones 


Your 3rd tooth made an appearance and it looks like a few more are on their way! 

You are loving eating now and have tried loads of different foods. Next month I am going to try to introduce some meat. 

You have been an amazing sleeper this month (minus a particular week, for which I think those teeth were to blame), it was well needed!!! 

You had your first bottle and you took it so well. You have not taken another one since but at least I know that you will have it if you're hungry enough. 


You said 'Dada' for the first time, although you generally say it the most when you are tired and upset which is funny as this is when you want me the most!!! 


You love giving kisses now, and your cuddles are epic!!! 

Routine

I am still feeding you on demand and let you sleep when you want but this has roughly been your routine this month:
6:00-8:00am - Wake up
8:00am - Breakfast 
9:00am - Nap (about 30mins)
12:00pm - Feed 
1:00pm - Nap (about 30mins)
4:00pm - Nap 
5:30pm - Dinner  
6:00pm - Bath with your brother and sister 
7:00-8:30pm - We aim to get you to sleep (doesn't always work and sometimes you come back down with us) 


You have had many nights this month of not waking at all!!!! 

Weight 


You now weigh 18lbs 14oz and are basically on the 50th percentile! You fit into mostly 6-9 month clothes but you do wear a few 9-12 month outfits too. 


Love you so much,
Mama xxx
