How
in the world are you already half a year old?!? I can't believe you
have been in our lives for 6 months already. You are by far the most
beautiful child we have ever seen :-)
Stats:
Weight - 19.7 lbs
Height - 26.5 inches
Diaper - Size 2
Eating:
You
are currently eating Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Squash, Pears, Peaches
and Bananas. You have tried Peas and Apples, but weren't a fan of those
AT all. That kind of makes me sad since those are two of my favorites!
You are still eating 5ozs of formula every 3 hours except at bed time.
You usually take a little more right before bed so you can last through
the night. Still no teeth even though you've been drooling and chewing
on things since you were 2 months old.
Moving:
You
are sitting up like a champ. Just in the past week you have mastered
sitting up on your own. You love to sit in the floor with toys in front
of you. You get overzealous sometimes and go face first into the floor
because you haven't quite figured out that you can put your weight on
your hands/arms and crawl :-)
Sleeping:
We
had a rough week last week with your sleeping at night. You woke up on
average about 3 times a night. Mostly it was just so I could replace
your paci (ugh not my ideal situation) and you would go right back to
sleep. Some wake-ups you wanted to be fed! You wore your mommy out this
past week, but last night you slept MUCH better. I only had to get up
once at midnight to replace your paci and you slept the rest of the
night until daddy woke you up at 5:45am in this morning. You still fight
your naps. This drives mommy insane, but thankfully grammy has much
more patience :-)
Talking:
You
still jabber a ton and it turns into screams or growls occasionally.
Growling is your new thing to let us know you are getting bored or
unhappy. You have also perfected "Mamamamama" when you are sleepy or
upset. Why you choose to say "Mama" when unhappy is beyond me ;-)
