A Day in the Life of Eliana: 7 months!

First a message from Eliana:

Can you believe little Eli is 7 months old? I can't. The time has flown by and she has grown so much. She is sitting up like a pro and getting up on her hands and knees, but has no idea what to do next. I imagine by next month we will have a crawler! She now eats in her highchair now and she seems to really like that. Her newest "word" is uh-oh. It is very cute and will probably become a favorite word in the next few years. She still isn't sleeping through the night, she usually wakes up twice, about 12 and 4 and then up for the day at 7. For her 7m birthday, she woke up only once at 4, but she then woke up a little early at 6:30

6:30- Woke up very happy and played in my crib for awhile before I was ready to get up.

7:00- Ready to get out of bed now, get a fresh diaper and snuggle with mom

7:30- Time for breakfast! I love eating. This morning I had rice cereal and half a banana, yum.

7:45- After breakfast I get to roll around and play on the floor

I can pick up my binky
Such a ham


8:45- I am super tired so mom puts me down a little early. I'm trying to learn to sleep with my arms out of my swaddle. Sometimes it works pretty well, sometimes I wake myself up to soon (like this time)


9:30-Woke up from my nap way too soon and cranky mommy spent the next half hour trying to get me back to sleep.

10:00- I win the battle of nap time and get to come out and play.

Reading my Nemo book
It's my favorite book right now

A friend from church brought a bunch of baby food that her baby
wasn't going to eat. Lots of cereal and meat baby food. I decided
to check it out.


Mom decided to clean it up a bit...I thought is was
even more fun in the bin

11:45- Nap time again, we will see if this one goes better...

1:00- Wake up happy!

1:30- Lunch time! Carrots are super yummy.


and I still really like Gatorade

2:00- Mommy and I catch a lizard under a cup. It was super fast but I blocked it from coming back into the living room




2:30- Nap time...again...I'm tired, but I don't understand why I need to nap so much, I'd rather play

4:30- I took a good long nap and I'm ready to play, play, play

4:35- Mommy and I go outside to check the mail. We try to go outside at least to check the mail everyday. I really like to look around and see the trees and clouds and anything else that goes by.
This is part of my Halloween costume
Mommy was sewing while I napped and wanted
to try it on me to see how it fit.

4:45- Mommy had to hang up Daddy's uniforms today so I helped


5:00- Mommy cooked up some peaches for me while I napped and I helped her blend them up.

5:15- Dinner time. I had Barley cereal with some chicken mixed in then some plums. Mommy discovered if she sings songs while we eat I don't get so bored and distracted. I'm going to learn my ABC's while I eat!
5:30- Time to roll and try to crawl on the floor again.

6:00- I'm getting fussy and tired again, but bedtime isn't for another hour, so Mommy takes me outside to swing.


Sometimes my sunglasses are too tight and
leave marks on my face

6:30- I want to talk to someone online. First we try Grandmommy on skype, but she is busy, so we talk to Grandma on facebook chat. I had a lot to say to her. I also wanted to start my blog post for the day.
7:00- Time for bed, it was a fun day full of lots of excitement, but now it's time to dream sweet dreams
