Baby Sieckmann News: Month 7 is for Fun

Family pic with uptown Charlotte in the background

As we settle into our new home and Rose grows in leaps and bounds, life is so busy and full of fun. Not a day goes by that we are not doing something on the house like painting our dining room set or installing a ceiling fan, as well as taking Rose out for baby play dates, baby gym or storytime.

Now that Rose is officially 7 months old (ooh my, they were not lying about time flying by!) she keeps proving to us that she is far advanced beyond our expectations. She can now stand up from a sitting position, and we are counting down the days (and frantically installing baby gates) in anticipation of the day when she begins walking.

Other milestones that we want to share, Rose waves hello and goodbye now, she has become more animated during her playtime (making fun noises and getting creative with play), and is really starting to explore more (another motivator to baby proof and finish unpacking!) Rose crawls around everywhere and nothing much stops her =)

Our schedule is becoming more predictable as Rose settles into a long morning nap and short afternoon snooze, so we are able to plan our social calendar around naps and fit in lots of playtime. Rose is also sleeping fairly well through the night, going down at about 8pm every night, waking at around 1am and about 3am to eat and then sleeping till about 7am (we are an early to rise home now =)
