Happy half birthday, pretty girl!! I can't wait to see what the next six months hold because you will have so many new growing pains to go through (new teeth, crawling, furniture surfing, walking, etc...). I am so excited!
Let's see what you are up to this month:
*Weight: 15 lbs 8 oz (38th percentile)
*Length: 25 1/2 inches (33rd percentile)
*You started solids back at four months. The foods you have had so far are oatmeal, rice cereal, pear, apple, sweet potato, banana, and carrots. So far the only food that you have curled your lip at are bananas. We will try those again soon.
*You are still eating every three hours, but solids are included twice a day. A solid at 9am with bottle, as well as 6pm with bottle. Eating 5 1/2 ounces with every bottle, and lately you have been really packing it in at night.
*You are sleeping through the night! If you do get up, one of us runs in and gives you your pacifier and you are back to sleep. In bed at 7pm and up by 6am. Good girl!
*You still enjoy your pacifier but only for calming yourself down prior to sleeping. Once you are asleep and you spit it out you are good to go. I'll take it!
*You smile all. the. time. Seriously. The only time you get fussy is when you are tired or hungry. Girl, you smile at everybody. I have noticed a little bit of a stranger danger feeling lately, especially with boys. I'm ok with that ;)
*You are wearing 6 to 9 month clothes.
*You are currently a drooly mess. I am hoping those two bottom teeth come in soon so we can relieve some of that pain ASAP.
*You are giggling like crazy these days, especially at your older brother. Preston can make you smile and laugh no matter what. Your relationship with him is growing and I am in love. It's so much fun watching you two get to know each other more and more.
*Other things that make you laugh: getting tickled, belly raspberries, funny noises, Preston's race cars, and a fun game of peekaboo.
*You are able to sit up on your own, still a few balance issues, but you are little. We are practicing all the time.
*You love sleeping on your side or on your tummy. You roll from back to front and front to back...this makes changing your diaper very challenging because you want to constantly roll over.
*You are on a great schedule right now with sleep. Not only do you sleep through the night but you take two large naps during the day. You sleep from 8am to 9am and then again from 12pm to 3pm. You and Preston sleep at the same time - hallelujah!
Ladybug, you are beautiful, so happy, and such a kind little baby. You have an easy going personality that just exudes joy. Thank you for making me feel better by just smiling at me when you know I need it.
Thank you for reminding us that life needs to be happy and fun - we love you!!
