You are 6 months old! When you woke up I sang you a 1/2 birthday song :) I cannot believe its been 6 months since you were born... time is flying!!! I feel like summer came and went in a flash and now its already fall.. on to winter..
We had your appointment yesterday and you weigh 16 pounds 10 oz! You are right above the 50%tile and you are growing perfectly. You are 27 inches long and thats still the 90%tile! I hope your taller than me but not as tall as Daddy (a 6 foot daughter seems a bit crazy!). You did so well after your shots - only cried for about 30 seconds and then I distracted you with a book :) You have started solids but don't seem too interested and definitely don't "love it" like some other moms say their babies do! You like sweet potato the most and we just tried pears yesterday! You seem to like those. I was worried about the whole solids thing but the Dr. said to just get up to 3 "meals" a day by 9 months. So we will keep trying!
You are still sleeping through the night with a bottle at 6:30pm and then around 6am. Sometimes you go back to sleep after the bottle at 6 which is really nice for me! You eat 5 times a day about 5oz. Its been a new transition over to formula since we ran out of breast milk! I had 250oz frozen but that went quick when I stopped nursing/pumping. You haven't had a bad reaction I just needed to figure out how much you can eat without spitting up. You still take 3 naps a day and usually one is long (1.5 hours). Lately naps and daytime have been hard because you were going through 1. a growth spurt 2. a wonder week and 3. teething...
You now babble a lot, sit up on your own, have two teeth!!!, pass toys from one hand to the next, pick which toy you want to play with and love music. You listen really closely when mommy sings and think its funny when I do weird voices. You laugh when I open my month really big and blow a fake bubble! Its probably hilarious to others what I do to entertain you ;) Or I look crazy.. buts its worth it for you to be happy! You are wearing 9 month onesies, 6 month pants, 9 month sleep n plays and 9 month jackets. Your so long and your arms always hang out of things! Your favorite toys are becoming things the light up and play music. You still put everything in your mouth. Sometimes the stroller and basket the toys go in seem to be what you want to chew on. You have also recently discovered tags and suck on those until everything is so so so wet! You are learning to shake toys and make noise pounding them on the high chair. You still love walks and getting outside. We have been blessed with warmer weather in late October so thats been super fun!
You met your Great Grandpa Wally this past weekend! You behaved very well for having a crazy schedule and having both Mommy & Daddy come down with the flu. It was horrible! You had a good time though sleeping at Nana Kathy's and even going to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Your favorite was the waterfall garden.
We have Halloween coming up and your costume is cute! Its suppose to be really cold but we will try to go to a few houses. I am excited for all the holidays coming up and experiencing them with you for the first time. Daddy is excited to but not so excited that Mommy wants a cute outfit for each holiday! haha it will be worth it!
Some recent pictures of you..
