The Lankfords: June 2016

This past Sunday Abby turned 6 months! I remember with mackenzie that this is when it felt "fast" or like this first year of everything baby baby baby is really happening :) She seems so big yet still so small. Either way its a special milestone! I almost forgot to sing her happy 1/2 birthday song but I remembered and Mackenzie helped me sing it.

Lets see --
Abby, or Abby-gail, Abby-galy-gale, Sweets, Sweet Cheeks, Abby-ga-dabby! So many nicknames :)

Weight: 16 pounds 2 oz (M was 16, 10 -50%

Length: 27 1/4 inches (M was 27) - 90-95%

Clothing: All 6 month onesies or 6-9 month, dresses are 6 month, pants 6-9 month. I still find 3-6 month clothing she never wore and try to fit her in it but it just doesn't work out :) She's so long!

Diapers: Been in size 3 for a while now - I did this early on for nighttime and then just used them all day long (chunky legs).

Teeth: None yet! The Dr. said that her gums looked swollen so maybe soon?! This past week has been a bit more drolly and fingers in the mouth!

Sleep: Officially sleeping through the night consistently! After I got back from Florida she just slept through.. I think one night when I was gone she was up around 3am but not anymore- go abby! She slepts from 6-5:15, or 7:30-5:15 haha! 5:15 is the major wake up time ;)

Favorite Activity: Jumping, rolling from back to belly and being stuck

Favorite Toy: Anything that makes noise

Favorite thing to chew: fingers (no toys quite yet!)

Your schedule has really become routine now - something I wanted for what feels like "so long"! You took a little bit more time to do this than your sister but thats ok! After I came home from Florida you were waking up early which was hard but we have been making it work. Your schedule now is..

5:15-5:45 Wake up
6:30 Bottle
7:45 Nap
9:30 Bottle
11:45 Nap
1:30/2 Bottle
3:00 Nap
4:30 Bottle
6-7 Bottle & bedtime (depending on your last nap!)

Its been going really well and you take two 1.5 hour naps and one 45 minute one :)

You are quiet and gentle. You don't demand attention much (from about 5-6 you do!). You laugh easily when I do funny things with my face or make weird noises. You like bath time (still do it every 3-4 days). Your skin is pretty much clear with occasional flare ups! You enjoy swinging at the park. You love love love to see your sister, she can make you laugh easily! You just light up right when she comes into the room. She likes giving you kisses or laying on you. You LOVE the fan! You still spit up quite a bit and 1-2 times a day its bad enough where you choke on it/end up crying. Your not sitting up yet but you will on my lap or in a good chair. You sleep in a zippy and probably will for quite some time!

Here are some photos from this month :)
