I’m sure I’ll be saying this for the rest of her life but I cannot believe she is this old already! She is getting more and more active and has started on some food. So far she is master of rice cereal, avacado, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. Her favorite though is a toss up between the cereal and the butternut squash. We gave her the first meal while my parents were visiting so they could be in on the experience. Pretty cool.
First “real” food…please excuse my awesome face as your intro.
She now sleeps pretty much through the night, and no, it has nothing to do with her starting food. It has to do with us “letting” her learn how to put herself to sleep. Yes, we have been letting her “cry it out” for about a week now. We took away her pacifier and let her figure things out. She has done GREAT! The longest she ever fussed and cried was 45 minutes and that was only once. Usually she fusses and/or cries anywhere from 0 to 10 minutes. She now sleeps on her stomach- her choice. So that is a HUGE development and we (especially me) are excited for more than 4 hours straight of sleep
. So far she has been going about 8 hours straight, then I nurse her and she goes another 4 or so. Pretty stellar.
She L-O-V-E-S her doorway jumper! Sometimes she’ll be in that thing for 45 minutes. That’s a better babysitter than the t.v. right?
First jumper experience…
Second jumper experience. She might take after her dad’s dunking ability.
We had a 6 month doctor visit and here are her stats:
head: 16 3/4 inches (50%) up 3/4 inches from 4 months
weight: 15 lbs. 14 oz. (50%- shocker I know because she is so ‘puffy’) up 2 lbs. 4 oz. from 4 months
height: 25 1/2 inches (50%) up 1 1/2 inches from 4 months
So she is our perfectly porportioned little puff-a-lump (my newest nickname for her).
