Aliyah is 7 months old!
Of course Max had to go first...
So happy to have such good kids! She is still mostly smiles. She has a temper when she needs to but luckily she's happy 90% of the time so we don't have to see it often. I don't think our schedule has changed much. She wakes between 6:15-6:45am to eat and goes back to sleep. We're trying to cut out the first morning nap (though if she wakes back up before 8am its hard!) and then she goes down after her 10:15am bottle for about 45 mins. When she does wake up around 8:15am she eats a big bowl of baby oatmeal so that holds her off till after 10am for her bottle. She does also eat lunch, a stage one fruit at normal lunch time. After Max goes down between 1:15 and 1:30 she eats (if I'm home I nurse her) and she goes down. We're working on a long pm nap cause she got worse with it but she's getting better again. I try to keep her up there till 4pm at least, even if it requires rocking her back to sleep, or her sleeping on my lap or even just turning her glow seahorse on for her to play with so it keeps her in her crib till 4pm. This worked for Max and now, especially with being sick, he's down till almost 5pm some days. (But I never get him up before 4pm even if he wakes up earlier, he loves to play in his crib a while). She eats again around 4:45pm. After dinner she takes a little lappy nappy and then she eats her dinner around 7ish. The both get baths and Max goes down around 8pm and then she nurses and goes to bed herself. I do think this time when they're eating AND drinking is tough because, as you can see, there isn't much time one of them isn't napping or eating and its tough just to get out of the house but its such a fun age, I will miss my babies soon enough!
It was really cute when I came downstairs the other day and found him putting Ali's baby in the carrier and "caring" for it! He even took her on a stroller ride too. (Note: she did end up under the TV cabinet but it was cute while it lasted!)

The 2 best things are she can get her paci in herself and she sits up great. She loves to just sit and play and is very content doing so. She makes a lot of noises and can be very loud. She's quite impressed with her noises too! She loves to splash in the tub. She's getting funny about "mom". She doesn't like anyone else to feed her if she can see me and she gets very excited to see me but she also loves her play time with daddy too!
You can tell she's toughened up by her big brother because when I took her to get her 2nd flu shot on Friday she barely even flinched let alone cried!
Since we're usually all cars/trucks and trains...
