Notes on the sixth month….(well…really 6.5 months!)
* Baby’s first Christmas. Lots of cousins excited to open her gifts with her, lots of QT with our favorite girl. Favorite new gifts = fisher price bee from baba, biker boots and ikea produce from teta tippy, westie outfits from teta talia, new library of ukrainian books from everyone, etc etc…
* Rolling across the room. It started over Christmas, one roll at a time. Now we turn out backs and she’s across the room.
* Started “solids”…into week two of rice cereal which she eats around dinner time…up to 1 tablespoon. How we’re ever going to get to three meals and 1/2 cup of rice…one will never know.
* 14 lbs 3 oz…still a 13% percentile peanut.
* She’s outgrown her beloved swing..but is too short for the jumperoo. These days if we need a hands free moment, we’ll either put her in the ergo or let her roll around in our empty “dining room”.
* Mega alert. Must be a part of the action at all times. Which means pretty much no napping for this girl. She thinks she’s a grown up, sleeping 8-7, eats then sleeps till 9. Maybe a 20-minuter here or there when she’s seduced by her milk but otherwise it’s party time.
* She knows who we are and I die when she’s consoled by the fact alone that mama is the one that is hugging her at the moment. Super sweet.
* Still nursing and at this point have updated my goal to get to 1 year. Facts that make this completely doable: no teeth, STOCKED freezer of milk bags, lack of any problems for mama and I figure it’ll just get easier with less feedings and more transition to real food.
* Can’t believe that it’s been 6 months and our little baby is turning more and more into a little person. I feel like the next 6 months will fly by too and at the end of it we’ll have a walking talking 1 year old. Ekk!
