Avery 7 Months

Happy 7 Month Birthday Avery!!




Truth be told, I will be glad next year when I am not documenting every month she passes a "birthday." I think it makes it go by so much faster this way. Maybe it just goes by fast anyway. Slow down, time!!

Avery Grace is:

Eating 3 meals a day with rice or oatmeal and lost of different kinds of fruits and veggies. She is slowing down on bottles and eating more regular food. Next month starts meats!! She is learning how to put puffs in her mouth, also!

She loves to stand up. All. The. Time. We are trying to teach her how to crawl but she would much rather be standing up. We don't have to hold her up, we just have to help her keep balance. She is also starting to lift her knee up, as if to take a step.

She has 5 teeth, 4 on the bottom and 1 on top. And she clicks them together alot now. Shudder.

She is getting more hair these days!

She loves to put EVERYTHING in her mouth!

She loves the dogs!
She sleeps 8 - 10 hours a night, uninterupted.

She is wearing 9 - 12 month clothes, depending on the brand.

She is still in size 3 diapers.

She loves to be thrown around, bounced around or swung around. Especially by her daddy.

She loves to laugh!

She loves to talk. It's starting to change from "ba ga da" to sounding more like she is trying to talk to us. Before, she was just babbling. Now, she looks in your eyes and talks to you. It's so fun to listen to!
She loves to blow bubbles!

She takes her pacifier, but mostly just to sleep. If I put it in any other time, she just takes it out and chews on it. At least it won't be hard to get rid of!

She loves to YELL!! We are working on that yelling business, not that I can control it much.

She loves to kick, still loves her bath because she can kick the water, and loves to swim, because she can kick. She also loves her new jump-up because she can bounce and bounce and bounce!

I love you baby girl - you can stop growing for a while, if you want to. :-)

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...
