Bath time fun!

Splish splash, I was taking a bath...


My pretty girl in the tub. I just can't get enough of those big sweet eyes. Makes my heart melt. And check out those two bottom teeth!!

I realized recently that we dont have any pictures of Brooklyn sitting up in the bathtub. We took lots of pictures of Branson in the bathtub when he was younger. I think this is because Branson spent lots of time in the tub (he loved it!) and Brooklyn's baths are fairly short. You don't get to play much in the tub, Baby Girl. So sorry! Her nighttime routine follows certain steps and takes a fairly long time (especially since her bedtime is 7:30!). First we eat solid food, then take a bath to wash the solid food out of our hair, then nurse, then drink a bottle. (Yes, we want to make sure she will stay full ALL night long...ha!) As of right now (7.5 months), she is still waking up between 4-5 to eat, but has gone as long as 6:30. We are working towards 6:30 every morning. Im not opposed to letting her cry, but when she wakes up Branson at 5:00 in the morning, Im not ok with it anymore. :)


And...while Im kinda writing things down that she is doing right now and I dont want to forget, here are some 7 month highlights:
-weighed 16.2 at the doctors office at 7 months. 30% weight, 30% head, and 50% height. He said you were long and skinny.
-eating a TON of baby food, but the doc said to give you as much as you want. (1 jar in the am, 2 at lunch, and 2 at dinner with some cereal and puffs thrown in randomly)
-just learned how to pick up the puffs and put them in your mouth. About half of them end up on the floor or in your seat
-love to watch Branson, Rufus, or just about anyone. You are content to sit and watch people most of the time. We are so grateful that you are a happy, content baby. Such a blessing!
-You are soooo quiet! Some fussing and some "talking" but not really babbling much. (This speech path momma is trying to be cool and not stress about it. I think it is just your personality.)
-You are sitting up great, but dont seem to be too interested in crawling yet. You love watching the action, but don't act to interested in being a part of it. That is fine with me!

We LOVE LOVE LOVE you, Baby Sister!!
