6 Month
Weight/size: At your 6 month appointment you weighed 16lbs 6 oz! You are now starting to wear some 6 month outfits and we had to buy A LOT of new pajamas :) You are still wearing size two diapers. A lot of your baby shoes are now to small.
Sleep: You are sleeping much better BUT still not quite sleeping through the night. The majority of the time you only wake up once for a feeding and fall right back to sleep. Every once in a while you wake more often than that and we are unsure as to why?
Movement: This month you started to get up on your hands and knees. Then you started to flop on your belly and sort of scoot backwards. The Sunday before you turned six month old you started to CRAWL! We were thrilled!! We used a box of Expo markers as the incentive and you just crawled back and forth every time we moved the box. Two days later you started pulling yourself up in your crib...so we dropped your mattress!

Communication: We are still enjoying your random screams and babble :) No official words yet BUT I am working hard on MAMA. We are excited that we can get you to laugh almost anytime if we chase Dallas in the backyard, Tickle you, or rub our head on your belly! We also love to hear your squeal of delight when you get really happy!

Food: You are feeding nursing every 4 hours! This month you started to have Oatmeal and a fruit for breakfast, a veggie for lunch and either a veggie or fruit for dinner. Some days you love a food and other days you hate it?? So far you have tried sweet potatoes, avocado, green beans, zucchini, squash, carrots, peas, winter squash, pears, prunes and apples.
Mood: Still a happy baby but we are starting to see some determination as well! When you want something you do not give up!!!
Medicine: Just a little origel.

Kristen,
ReplyDeleteWas searching for my GF's blog and came across yours. Love those darling earrings. They are so girlie girl.
This was a perfect age to pierce her ears! You were a smart mommy for doing it now and following mommy intuition earlier is best when mommy can care for them. Babies and little girls with little pierced ears celebrates their femininity and femaleness.
Our ped encouraged me doing it when mommy could care for them. Also, she gave me some tips for moms to find the right person, place and type of earrings to use for infants having their ears pierced. Would be happy to share by e-mail with any moms wanting more info.
