Abigail month 7

• I’ve avoided talking about how TERRIBLE her nights are, but they’re just so bad. Same routine her whole life, and she still loses it at night. If I️ let her cry-it-out, she just cries and cries. If I go in there to soothe, she swats away the paci (very aggressively). If I️ pick her up, she will calm down while I️ hold her, and then start back when I️ lay her down. A good night for her is down by 7:45, up a few times before midnight but easily put back to sleep, nurse in 12:00 hour, up and nurse in 4:00 hour, up at 6:45 to come in our bed and then up around 7:30-8:00...a good night. Currently in a not good phase. Praying that she feels loved, safe, comfortable and satisfied so that we can have even longer stretches! 
• She sucked from a straw!
• She’s really starting to jabber with the “baba” sound and I swear she says “Mama” when she cries 😉
• We’ve purchased a memory foam mattress topper and a super thick sleep sack hoping it starts helping her sleep. 
• I think she’s ready to transition to just the 2 naps per day, but it makes our afternoons and evenings very long because her naps are still relatively short. 
• I introduced puffs and the mums bars and I think she’s obsessed. 
• She’s rolling from belly to back more consistently!
• She rode in a shopping cart for the first time. 
• 11/20 she stayed in her crib until 7:15!!! She woke up a few times before 11 needing to be soothed, and maybe another time during the night, I woke up at 4:30 and the monitor was on Claire’s room🤷🏻‍♀️. She stirred at 5, but went back to sleep until 7:15!!!
• She’s eaten many solids: green beans, carrots, and bread products. Not a ton, just a little to keep her occupied during our meal time. She does really well and is super interested. 
• She slept from 7:30-6:45 on 11/21!!!!!
• She loves watching balls being thrown 
• Celebrated her sister’s 3rd birthday and her first Thanksgiving in Wickes. She was pretty fussy and slept horribly. This child. 
• We call her “nosy”. She has this way of setting her mouth, raising her eyebrows, and extending her neck to see things. 
• I took her to the doctor to make sure she was healthy before Andrew’s insurance policy ended. She was great, doctor suggested going back to the probiotic drops to see if they help her in the evenings and nights. She was 17lbs.
