7 months old

Man, I'm such a good mom. Marleigh has a doctor appointment in Wichita tomorrow, & for the life of me, I don't know what it is for! When we left Wesley, they just gave us a list of doctor appointments. I want to say it is to check how she is doing developmentally, but not for sure. It might be an adventure... Marleigh & I are driving by ourselves. Marc has meetings in Wichita Monday night & Tuesday, so he'll follow us down. Wish us luck.

We had a pretty uneventful weekend. Marc was supposed to go to Manhattan to celebrate Monica's 21st birthday, but he came home Friday afternoon not feeling well. He thinks he had a sinus infection. He was really dissapointed he couldn't help Monica celebrate. Happy 21st, Moni!!! Don't worry... Marleigh chugged a bottle in your honor! Ha!!! Probably not the same kind of bottle, though.

Marleigh continues to do well on her formula, but doesn't nap well. Her max nap is 30-45 minutes. She wakes up arching her back & squirming. It is obivious she wasn't ready to wake up yet. Not sure if her little back hurts or what the problem is. I'm ready to try anything to help her sleep better. She does sleep for up to about 5hours at night, but she should be able to sleep clear through the night by now. I guess preemies just do things on their own schedule!

Marleigh is really getting chunky. I mean we're talking thunder thighs. They are ADORABLE! Her weight last Thursday was 13lbs. 12oz! She's also really trying to sit up on her own. She thinks she's a lot bigger than she is. We did try to feed her a litle rice tonight. I'm not ready to call it a success... she was too hungry & trying to load her pants, so it didn't go so well. We'll try again in another day or two. It was a two person job!

Happy 7 month birthday, sweet baby girl!
