28 weeks!

MONTH: 7

WEEK: 28

WEIGHT: 16+ lbs

LENGTH: 27 in

HEAD: 17 in

MILESTONES: Every day she gets better an better at sitting up unsupported. Now she will sit up for a minute or two, but if she gets really excited she will fling herself backward onto her back, so we have to make sure she has something soft to fall back on.

OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Taken today at 28 weeks. She is becoming such a ham!

EATING: She has been "eating" solids for almost a month now. When I say "eating" I really mean just putting it in her mouth and making funny faces because she has not seemed very interested in actually swallowing anything... until tonight. We (cautiously) tried blackberries and she actually seemed interested in more than squishing them between her fingers.

SLEEPING: A has had a few days in a row of waking extra early and mama can feel it. :::yawn:::

VISITS/OUTINGS: We went on a very long walk on Sunday from our house, up over the south overcrossing to Target then down Soscol to Third St., back down to Franklin and then home again. It was about 4 miles and took us about 2 hours (including the stop at Target. 

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Avery loves to laugh. And I love to hear her laugh. I think it's both of our favorite activities.

MOMMY FEELS: Blessed. Every day is better than the last when I get to wake up next to my baby girl.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: We are looking forward to seeing her learn to scoot/crawl. She can't seem to get her legs and arms to work together, so she just pulls her body with her hands. It's quite hilarious.
