My goodness have these last 6 months flown by!
Paigey you are still the happiest, sweetest little girl.
We have been very busy every weekend traveling for various occasions and you have been so good. You travel well in the car these days!
You are such a big girl sitting up on your own. We still put the boppy or pillows around you since you can still get a little wobbly at times, but you look so cute sitting up and playing with your toys.
You also finally started to roll this month. There definitely has to be something worth rolling for though. You tolerate being on your tummy if you get yourself there, but we can't lay you down that way without you getting very angry!
Your sleep has improved! You definitely sleep much better at home than in the pack-n-plays at your grandparents, but overall, we are all getting a little more rest. You usually go down around 7:30 and wake up between 6 and 7. You wake up once or twice during the night, but we have been able to give you your paci and blankie and leave the room lately. Very rarely do I nurse you in the middle of the night anymore.
You like to be held close and cuddle, but the person holding you usually has to be standing. I really wish you would let me rock you, but you get super squirmy no matter how tired you are.
You are still a squishy little girl whose thighs and cheeks just keep getting bigger :) I think you are probably around 19 lbs. now. We go to the doctor on Friday for your 6-month checkup.
This month we have retired your bumbo and your playmat (since you sit up now). I am considering putting away your swing, but that is where you nap when you are home and you nap so well in it, but I know it is a bad habit and you won't fit in it forever so we need to start transitioning naps to your crib. I am also trying to figure out what to do with your carrier/carseat. You are getting heavy, which means it is getting harder to carry you around in there. I believe the weight limit is 22 lbs. so we have a little bit of time before moving you to the convertible carseat (Lukey just upgraded to a new seat so the convertible one is waiting for you!). Plus, it is winter and cold and you are nice and cozy in your carrier so I guess we will use it until we can't and Mommy will just have to get stronger!
We have been introducing lots of new foods this month. We started with some oatmeal, which you really weren't a huge fan of. We moved on to sweet potatoes and now you have tried squash, green beans, peas, carrots, apples, bananas, peaches and just last night you had pears. I can safely say you like them all, but I think your favorites so far are carrots and apples. I also give you a little bit of water in a sippy with your food. You are drinking out of the sippy fine, but don't really swallow the water. You make the funniest face ("this isn't milk???") and then just let it run out of your mouth. Just last week I started sending some food to daycare so you now eat twice a day.

You have lots to say and we get a lot of giggles from you these days. Just a poke in the belly will get us a giggle from you!
You LOVE your brother (and he is really starting to show how much he loves you too!). You smile the second he comes in sight and then you just watch him. He has been very helpful showing you your toys and bringing new ones to you.
You are definitely still a mommy's girl, and I am not complaining about it one bit. :)
We get some professional photos done in a couple of weeks so we will have even more pictures to remember you by at this fun age!
Happy 1/2 Birthday baby girl - we love you so much!
Aw what a dolly! I was wondering if I can give Sailor water when she eats too...It's like they need to wash it down...I think I'm gonna start giving her a little with her food...
ReplyDeleteHappy 6 months Paige!!!!
