Dear Norah,
We celebrated Easter
during your seventh month and while you couldn’t quite hunt for eggs or
enjoy delicious ham at brunch, you did wow all those at church with
your adorable Easter dress and Easter bonnet,
which you accessorized with a smile on your face. We received
compliments about you from total strangers, as if you were displaying
all of the joy that Easter has to offer in one little bundle.
After receiving the
green light to start fruits and vegetables with you, we began solid
foods much like we did for your brother. Carrots first, then butternut
squash, then sweet potatoes, and then peas and
green beans before moving on to the fruits. I wasn’t quite sure how you
would handle it all, but you took to solids like a champ. In fact, I
had the camera ready to go to film your first bite of carrots, but
spoiler alert: it’s very anticlimactic. You simply
ate them just like you had already eaten carrots a million times
before. You enjoyed most foods but weren’t really a fan of peas or green
beans.
I’m not sure if it
was the solids or if you are just finally getting to the right age, but
your sleep improved marginally this month. Instead of being up four or
five times, you now only want to see my sleepy
face twice a night. And I can’t thank you enough for that change. While
I never thought I would be appreciative of a seven month old who wakes
twice a night, I know now it could be oh-so-much worse.
I’ve talked before
about what a sweet, happy baby you are, and as you have grown I have
noticed that after you flash your largest, most adorable smile, you will
often bury your head in my shoulder. It’s as
if displaying that amount of emotion is overwhelming to you and your
bashfulness takes over for a sweet moment. It is one of my absolute
favorite traits about you right now and I love being on the receiving
end of your sweet cuddle.
Love,
Mommy
