7 months to the day...

Miss Nugget is 7 months old!  She decided to celebrate this momentous day by figuring out how to roll, with ease, back onto her back after rolling to her tummy.  It may not be crawling, but we definitely have a moving baby!  I have been reminded again lately that although she is growing (amazingly well!) on par with others born at the same time, her preemie-ness does mean she might not have certain skills down quite as quickly as her peers.  I'm learning to be okay with that: she'll get it eventually and in the meantime we've got a healthy, thriving little girl.  Really can't ask for more.  Now for the munchkin's stats:
Weight: 16.4 lbs (25-50%)
Height: 27 inches (50-75%)
Head: 17.75 inches (50-75%)

Her current favorite game (other than rolling across the room), is definitely peek-a-boo.  She gets incredibly proud of herself when she pulls the blanket over her face on her own and gets us to play.  She has taken quite well to new foods (sweet potato, prunes, peaches and oats), although we have had to adjust her eating due to some tummy issues.  We're hoping those solve themselves soon so we don't have to go in to the doctor any extra.  With the onset of flu and RSV season, little one has had to add a synergis shot once a month (preemies are even more prone than term babies to this nasty illness).  While it has been a huge headache to get organized, I'm grateful for it: I do not want to see my baby in the hospital again.  Plus, our home health nurse is an absolute sweetheart (and completely understanding when we didn't have the medicine when she came... no one told me they were sending it to us!).

So, there you have it.  Nugget is a whole month older, and a whole month sweeter!
