Sweden at Seven Months

December 15, 2017

7 months old

Milestones

recording all the firsts

• Sweden is crawling, none of that army crawl/scooting. She skipped that and crawls on her hands and knees like the real deal.
• Sweden celebrated her first Thanksgiving. She didn't eat any the turkey and sweet potatoes because she prefers the good stuff: mama's milk. She hasn't taken much of a liking to any of the baby food we try to feed her. However, anything she can find on the floor goes straight into her mouth. haha!
• She likes her Disney Princess walker and is able to reach her toes and move it around a bit. She sits well in her bumbo and plays with toys. However, she would prefer to sit on mama's hip over the walker or the bumbo. She is a mama's girl and i'm not complaining. 
• Sweden likes to drink out of my water bottle, anytime she see's it she think it is meant for her. We bought her, her own pink sippy cup which she seems to like just as much.
• Sweden took a trip on an airplane for the first time! We flew to San Diego, California to spend time with Nana, PopPop Snarr and some of her Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. She had the most fun playing and being loved on by her cousin Sylvie. Sylvie loved Sweden so much she named her baby doll after her.

Favorite Things

• Sweden loves watching and playing with her big brothers. She crawls around their bedroom as they play and steals their toys or knocks down their towers. 
• She loves swinging in the swing outside and being outside in general. 
• She loves to stand on daddy's hands and loves it when he makes her laugh; he is the best at tickling and getting giggles.
• She loves it when Finn makes silly faces and voices, telling her jokes (that don't make sense!) to make her happy. 
• She loves it when Fox pays attention to her and sometimes crawls into her crib with her. However, she dislikes when Fox smothers her too much or takes toys from her hands. Fox and Swedie have an interesting relationship!

Not so Favorite Things

• When mommy is out of sight.
• Sitting in her car seat. She has somewhat reverted back to her old ways of crying when in the car seat. This time she is much more consolable and can be entertained or distracted.
• Teething. She still has no teeth but has been teething for months. She isn't fussy but wants to chew on everything.
