In her 7th month

Annika will be 8 months old tomorrow so I am a little behind. All of these pictures are from March.

 She played in her diaper box

 looking cute every day- we are so grateful for the hand-me-downs! She wore size 3-6 months all through March.

 she loved looking out the window. She likes to watch the mailman go by our house.

 Annika participated in her 1st (and the 1st) annual Pamathon! It was an awesome day full of emotion. I was overwhelmed by the support we felt as a family.

 We went for a few walks in March as it started warming up. Annika started riding in front in March. She loves being able to look around. We go for a walk almost every day now (in April) and we love it!

 Uncle Zack got her this cute shirt.

 We did night sleep training and she did great. It took a few days. By the 3rd night she would only cry a few minutes when she woke up during the night then fall to sleep again. Our goal was to make it to 5am before a feeding. Unfortunately, she got sick, then we had company, then we went to CA for a week. So, her good sleep habits went away.  She got back on track shortly after our CA trip. But, I'm pretty sure this is how it will go with routines- we establish good habits, then she gets sick or has a growth spurt or we go out of town, and we get to start over again. I really can't complain, though. She is a sweet and happy little girl.

 She loves to play with her spoon.  Everything goes to the mouth. still no teeth.

We love our Annie girl!
