Yesterday marked Flora's 7 month birthday! Yesterday we were also busy getting the house decorated for Halloween. Flora has her costume all set, but you will have to wait to see it! She even has a party to go to, Auntie Val's annual Halloween bash. Lucky girl!
Flora's two little teeth are very visible. Although I don't think she is currently teething, she still has to put everything in her mouth. I can't wait for the oral stage to be over. Something tells me we have a long way to go.
Crawling is on Flora's "to do list" this month. She can get to her hands and knees from sitting, but doesn't know what to do from there. Sometimes she rocks and other times she takes 2-3 steps with her hands and ends up on her belly. I'm sure by her 8 month birthday she'll be crawling, if she's not walking...
Flora has also been trying to pull herself to standing using us or the coffee table. She is very determined and gets frustrated easily when she can't move the way she wants to.
We have been feeding Flora a variety of food lately. Sometimes she even gets what we are having for supper. Which means she is getting more texture in her food. She does well chewing, but still likes smooth baby food, too.
Since we took Flora off the pacifier, she has been doing great and hasn't gone back to it once! She falls asleep on her own and has been sleeping through the night without waking up. She is still taking 3 naps a day, which is fine with me because a well-rested baby is a happy baby!
Flora has been somewhat of a copy cat lately. She has learned to cluck her tongue, shake her head, clap, and, Tom's favorite, stick out her tongue when we do it. She is such a goofy girl!
Christmas is coming and maybe some of you are wondering what Flora might need or want. Well, here it is:
Flora's Wish List: (Flora will be in size 12 months for clothes and size 3 for footwear at x-mas)
Sweatshirts or sweaters
Pants, cords, khakis, or jeans size
Sleepers
Wagon with all -terrain type wheels
Socks-any color but white - size 12 months and up(not 6-12 months, they're too small)
Slippers/booties(can be hand made, Flora's feet are 4.5 inches long by 2 inches wide)
Stacking toys
Wooden building blocks
Shape sorters
Bath toys
Baby puzzles
Walk behind toys
Books
Most of you already know that I am opposed to pink, some pink on the decoration is okay, though. I do however love purple and Flora looks great in yellow.
Optimally I would really like things(toys, clothes, etc.) that are not gender specific. I am not trying to be picky or difficult(believe me I know it is very hard to find clothes that are unisex), I'm just trying to be practical. So the next time we have a child, we might be able to use the same things.
Here is a link to Flora's wish list on Amazon for those of you who would like some specific gift ideas(there are a lot of books on here I would love for Flora to have). You don't have to buy from Amazon, you can just see the item on-line and try to find it, or something similar at a store/rummage sale near you!
