Samantha's 7 Months

I can't believe we're closer to a year old than we are to her being brand new. Pretty soon she'll be running around truly running this place, as opposed to rolling all over this place, but still running everything as it is now. She's trying really hard to figure out how to crawl, but seeing as how she just figured out how to sit up well by herself, we'll give her time on the crawling. She can however hold herself upright against a piece of furniture if we put her their. She'll tend to fall back but catch herself and balance really well. She may just skip this crawling thing and head straight to walking before we know it.

Since we couldn't get in for a 6 month well child visit due to crazy summer schedules at the doctor's office, we finally got in for a 7 month check. Sam is growing like crazy. Her head is in the 90th percentile, length is 27 inches, 70th percentile, and weight at 19 lbs 10 oz... ya... 90th percentile there too! At least her head and weight are both high, her large noggin fits in with her large body! LOL.

She still continues to sleep through the night, bed anywhere between 7-8 usually and up between 5 and 6. We don't love the early rising, but since we get up at 5 on work days anyway, we can't expect anything different on the weekends. She tends to take 2 naps a day, sometimes 3 depending on where she is. When it's just me and her at home she tends to take 2 long naps since she's in the comfort of her own bed in her dark room. Daycare is a bit rough with 1 maybe 2 naps of anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes each. Thursday nights tend to be rough.

She's got one tooth really poking through, and another one coming up according to her doctor yesterday. She got 3 shots yesterday also. 2 of which she handled well, but the flu shot she did not enjoy. And the best part is the flu shot is broken down into 2 doses so we get to go back and do it again in a month. Yay.

Everything seems to be going well at the Berger home right now. My mom gets into town tomorrow for her yearly extended stay, friends and family fun to come.
