Nola @ 7 months

Nola turned SEVEN months old on August 7th! Here's what she's up to these days...

• She went to the doctor on Thursday for a viral infection and weighed 19 lbs, 4.5 oz (78th percentile). 
• She still takes 8 oz bottles, now only 4 per day.  She eats a fruit for lunch and a vegetable for dinner.  We haven't found too many things that she doesn't like.  Her favorites are peaches, sweet potatoes and avocadoes.
• She still wears size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothes. 
• Nola is sitting up by her self with ease and can scoot herself on the floor to wherever she wants to go.  She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks, but doesn't crawl on her hands/knees yet.
• Now that we're back into a school routine, Rudy gets Nola up in the mornings at about 6:30 and gives her a bottle.  She takes a short morning nap and usually a 1 1/2 - 2 hour nap in the afternoon at daycare.  When we get home from daycare, she sometimes takes a short nap and then plays for a while after dinner before going to bed for the night at around 8:30.  She doesn't sleep very well at daycare, but we're working on that with the use of a white noise machine.
• Just in the past week or so, Nola has started imitating the syllable "DA".  Sometimes she whispers it and sometimes she absolutely yells it.  If we say it, she'll repeat it and she's just so proud of herself.
