12 Months of Oaklee// Month 7

Weight: 13-14 pounds

Diapers: Size 2. Size 3 at night.

Clothes: 3-6/6 months

Sleeping: Oaklee usually takes 3 naps a day. Her last nap is really short because we have to wake her up by 6 to make sure she goes to sleep when the other kids do. She sleeps 7-7:30ish at night, but almost always wakes up once a night for a bottle. She continues to take a binky to fall asleep, and that is the only time she will take one. I think she still sleeps on her back, but she is almost always on her stomach when we get her out of her crib.

Eating: She eats 4 ounces of formula every 3ish hours during the day, and has a bottle when she wakes up at night. Oaklee has had purees only a handful of times, and she seemed to like them. I just don't like the time they take to feed her, so we tend to wait until she can have things she can feed herself. She's had cut up steamed carrots and a few bites of our dinners.She has also had puffs and rice rusks.

Milestones: Oaklee is doing a mix of fast inch worming and army crawling these days. She mostly does inch worming though. When she is in hands and knees crawling position, she is starting to lift and move one of her hands. Pro at holding her own bottle. First Christmas and New Years.

Not so much a milestone? but Oaklee got pink eye for the first (and hopefully last time) Thankfully, the drops cleared up her eye by the next day.

Likes: Rise rusks, jumping, mirrors, sitting in the high chair, her siblings talking to her, moving around on the floor

Dislikes: She is starting to dislike being held if your sitting because she would much rather be on the floor moving. She just squirms to get out of your arms. Sitting up. She will forcefully push against you at least half of the time if you try to make her sit up unassisted.


Overall, Oaklee is a pretty happy baby. She's content to just explore the room. She fusses when she's tired and hungry, and that's really about it. We're more than ready for her to stop spitting up all over everything all the time, and we can't wait to watch her get more and more mobile and see more of her personality come out.


She rocked her 6 month check up. She went from the 4th percentile to 10th percentile for weight!


darn pink eye.




October 2020

We kicked off the first weekend in October with Ella's birthday weekend.
We went to the U-pick Red Barn with the kids and my parents.
It was an absolutely gorgeous October day.



Ella turned FOUR!
We had her two little besties over for a mini birthday party.


We had our family pictures taken on a perfect evening.


Hudson got dumb and threw the apple remote at the tv one afternoon, so that really sucked.
I took the photo of us a few days after he broke the tv to prove that he was still alive.

Avery found an open jar of Nutella while I was working downstairs in the office.

Going to the dentist looks a little different these days.
No toys in the waiting room, waiting in the car if it's too busy, and face masks on until they're ready to start working on you.

Ella had another dance recital.
She did this session of dance with her besties, Hayling and Brielle.
I love how much she loves to dance.

Their dance teacher. 

We were finally able to go back to church for the first time since March.
We started out only going once every 3 weeks and only for sacrament meeting.



We carved pumpkins with the kids the day before Halloween.

I volunteered in Hudson's class to help with their Halloween party.
Hudson's costume included a fake mustache, so I couldn't resist adding it to his facemask.
It was fun to see him in his element at school.

We went as a circus for Halloween this year!


Taylor was the ringleader.
I was the popcorn seller.

Hudson was the "strong man"

Ellas was our tightrope walker

Avery was a clown

And Oaklee was our ferocious tiger

We had a Halloween get together/party with our friends.
We had soups for dinner and the kids decorated sugar cookies.
After our bellies were full, we all went out trick or treating together.

It was a really fun evening, and our neighborhood definitely showed up for the holiday.
