7 months of falling in love with you.
Oh, my Tatum. My sweet, beautiful baby girl. This past month absolutely wrecked me. Going from six to seven months inevitably tipped the scales and you are closer to being one year old than you are being a newborn. I'm unsure of why this milestone always makes me just a little sad? But I think it's because you are my final chapter, my love, and I, your mother, absolutely don't do well with finality. Watching you grow is a privilege I will never take for granted and your continued health is something I spent so many days and nights praying for... and it is in that spirit that I wipe the tears from my eyes and embrace all that you are right now. Our perfectly growing, healthy, happy, intelligent, and gorgeous seven-month-old.
Feeding: Tatum is exploring all the food groups (minus most dairy products and nut products) and we are having fun watching her try. We chose to do a mixture of purees and baby-led weaning. I have even purchased some baby food pouches from the store like I have for the kids in the past. Earth's Best has failed to impress me after all of these years. We stick to the regimen best for babies at Tatum's age with food (at least two tablespoons a day on two different occasions) and that works SO well for our girl. We usually do breakfast meals and dinner meals alongside the family. It's so nice being able to incorporate that time for us together. We are in no rush where food is concerned and take all the cues from Miss Tatum. She definitely lets us know when she doesn't like something and when she does.
