Half a year old....WOW! I cannot get over it!!! You have grown so much baby!!! You are truly the sweetest and most precious little girl I have ever laid eyes on! I cannot get over how much love I feel for you! Every time I look at you my heart swells with pride!!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! This month you have really gotten more vocal and shown more personality :) You started giggling out loud alot and trying to stick everything you can reach in your mouth :O You cannot sit up yet, but you are nearly there! If I hold you sitting up, I can remove my hands and you will stay like that for a few seconds but then start to fall over.
Chrissly at 6 months --- November 23, 2011
* Weight:
* Length:
* You wear Size 1 diapers..We are switching to size 2; but Mommy and Daddy got a little crazy buying size 1 diapers! They have a ton of them and were trying to go through them all before going up to the size 2 diapers; but you are growing too fast :) We will have to retire the size 1 diapers and move on to the 2's
* You wear mostly 6-9 months clothes. You are wearing some sleepers during the day (the pj's with the feeties) to stay warm. You have definitely had a growth spurt recently...it seems like one day you were wearing 3 months clothing, and then the next day you were wearing 6-9 months...GROWING SO FAST!!!!!
* You sleep best in your pack n' play. Right now it is on Mommy's side of the bed so that if you start to cry she can get to you quickly because Mommy's feet hurt her every night because of her plantar fascitis.
* You usually eat three meals a day, plus a little snack (bottle) at night before you go to sleep. In the morning you just have a bottle to eat, but for lunch and dinner you eat some rice, and maybe some fruit or vegetable. So far we haven't found anything that you don't like...although, today Mommy fed you peas and you didn't seem like you were a big fan. So far, you have had sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, applesauce, peas, and I think peaches (I need to ask Mimi about that one.)
* You usually eat 5-6.5 oz.
* At bedtime, Mommy get a bottle ready. She takes you in the back and we read a story together, then she gives you your bottle and rocks you to sleep. Once you are almost asleep she lays you down in your pack n' play. You usually wake up a little, but will lay, fuss a little, and then fall asleep again.
* We have you sleep in the pj's with the feeties because you will kick and kick until you kick the covers right off; so, to make sure you stay warm we have to have you sleep in the pj's with the long sleeves and feeties. You are still a kicker! :) We will have to sign you up for soccer when you are old enough. In fact, usually they way you wake Mommy up in the morning is not by crying, but by kicking the sides of your pack n' play. :)
* You will usually sleep for 8-12 hours every night
* Mimi has really been working to get you to take more naps during the day. Mommy read an article about how important it is for you to get in your naps. You usually take a short (30 minutes or so) nap in the morning; right after lunch you take another nap (usually the longest one, lasting about 1-2 hours); then in the late afternoon/early evening you take one more short nap.
* Mommy is working full time and STILL wants to stay home with you badly!!! She misses all her cuddle time with you!!!! She dreams of the day when she can stay at home and be "Super Mom" to you~~~
* You can sit in your Bumbo now, without any help.
* You will also sit in your excersaucer and play. Mommy doesn't have to prop you up anymore :) You have mastered sitting in it and playing!!! You like playing in your saucer and will play for about an hour before you get bored and want a change of pace.
