1/2 Year

1/2 Year

How in the world is my baby girl half a year old?!? 

  Mark and I were talking earlier how much she has changed in just a few weeks!  Just in the last month, her personality has come out so much!  She is smiling and laughing all the time, playing with toys, and sitting up really good. 

She is still breastfeeding....I realize I said that she would be weaned by six months-it didn't happen.  We have tried green beans, peas, squash, oatmeal, rice, and bananas.  She doesn't love solids, but we're going to keep trying.  We are also working on eating four times a day rather than every three hours. 

She is sitting up for longer periods of time, loves peek-a-boo, is going from sitting up to her tummy, she is starting to lunge forward, still loves standing up, and adores her jumparoo thing. 

She is talking so much more in the last week or so.  It is truly the sweetest sound ever! 

She is reading in Spanish and English now....just kidding, but she does love when we read to her.  She is still in size two diapers.  She is still in some size three month clothes, some six months.  I'm not going to lie, the first four months of this child's life were rough.  She cried ALL of the time!  I think she might have had colic.  We are so blessed that only cries now when she is tired.  She goes to sleep around eight every night and gets up between 4-6 am.  She will usually go back to sleep until 8 or so as long as she eats.  She will nap in her crib for about thirty minutes, but still prefers sleeping with her mommy.  

We took her for her 6 month doctor's appointment and she had to get 4 shots.  We survived, but it was rough!   

Her stats:

Weight:  15 lbs, 3 oz--50%
Height:  25.5 in--50%
Head Cir.:  16 in--15%
