If we count Dec to July 1st, she is 7 months. If we go by weeks, she is 34 weeks. Divide the 4 weeks in a month, into the 34 and we have 8 1/2 months. Oh Lord, I still think I'm confused. And I don't think even coffee will help me on this one. Even I might be confused on what I'm saying, or counted wrong. DUH!!

There are 2 weeks unaccounted for in your calculation. January and April both have 5 weeks not 4. You would take the 34 weeks and divide by 4.3 which is the actual amount of weeks per month annually to account for the months which have 5. 34 divided by 4.3 = 7 months.
