Seven Months

Julianna is now 7 months which makes Lily 4 1/2 and Drew 2 1/2 years old. I just can't believe how fast time is going now. There are only 20 days until Lily starts preschool again. She will be going 5 days a week which I think is a blessing for everyone. Yesterday in the car she asked me if she was going to make new friends at school. I told her I thought she might...and I could tell she was excited at the prospect. I have gotten used to her new found self-control and even tempered demeanor and I think it will be easier for her to make friends this year at school. I just hope I can be organized enough to start her days off right.

Anyway, back to Julianna. :) She had a check-up yesterday because she was behind on her shots. So, we did her weight check and 6 month shots yesterday. She weighed 14 lbs 7 oz. She is gaining about 1 pound every month, which is moving in the right direction! However, she is still in the 9th percentile for weight and the 65th percentile for length. That makes her one long skinny worm!

Julianna has been a good sleeper from day one (pretty much). I think partly it is because she likes to suck her thumb, which makes it easy for her to self soothe. She always starts out in the same position when I put her in the crib. She sleeps on her right side, with her right thumb in her mouth, her left arm up over her face, and her legs crossed. I love that...I took a picture, because I know even though I think I will remember, I probably won't. :) Today is my birthday, which is just another reminder of how quickly time passes and how lucky I am to be home with my kids.
