Happy 6 month birthday, sweet girl! You are half a year old...how crazy! I remember when you were a newborn and I'd see other 6 month old babies and think how big they looked. I thought it would be FOREVER until you were that big. But now it feels like I blinked and here we are!
This past month with you was so much fun little bug. Daddy and I just love you so much. You bring an incredible amount of joy to our days! We seriously just look at you and tell each other how awesome you are. We love being your mommy and daddy.
So here's what's going on these days...
-Eating 5 times a day (roughly 8:30/11:30/2:30/5:30/8:30). You're still switching between nursing and bottles when mommy is at work. But let me tell you, mommy is getting a little more tired of the pump with each passing day...so I'm trying hard to hang in there :)
-We will be trying solid foods TOMORROW! We'll see if you're a fan...
-You go to bed at 8:30pm and wake up anywhere between 7:45am-8:15am. You are an excellent sleeper which we are so thankful for!
-You have woken up a few times a night for the past week or so since you've been teething so we'll cut you some slack :) Thankfully you go back to sleep after a little rocking. I actually like it because you cuddle with me.
-You're on your way down to 2 naps a day. Usually they are from about 9:30am-11:30am and 2:30pm-4:30pm. Sometimes you still need a cat nap in there somewhere or in the car when we're out and about.
-Still in size 1 diapers. Although we only have about 3 left so then we'll move you up to size 2!
-Still wearing size 3-6 month clothes. You are a teeny little thing! We'll get updated height and weight next week at your doctors appointment.
You had so many firsts this past month!
You cut your first tooth TODAY! So now you have something to show for all the drool you've been producing. And when I say you will chew on anything, I mean ANYTHING.
Your arms are super strong now which means you are a big fan of being on your tummy! You basically roll to your tummy any time you are on the floor now. Being on your back is so 2 months ago :)
You started scooting around in a major way! You push up into the downward dog yoga pose and then kind of hop forward. You can cover quite a distance pretty quickly. You haven't quite figured out to move your arms yet which is a good thing or else you'd basically be crawling.
You can SIT UP now! This just started about a week ago. One day you couldn't do it...and the next day you could. So crazy to literally see you developing before our eyes. It's so fun to let you sit up and play now! Except you look like such a big girl :(
You figured out how to pull your bows off. I'm hoping this isn't the beginning of the end.
You swung in the big girl swing at the park! You didn't cry but you weren't really sure if you liked it.
You had your first Halloween. Sweet little flower baby.
There were also a few other fun developments this month. You finally get a kick out of peekaboo and will look for us when we're hiding. You respond to your name. You notice when we leave the room and you do not like it. Your hair grew like crazy...it actually gets in your eyes. You talk to yourself in your bed when you wake up which is the cutest thing ever. And you really make the most hilarious noises lately. I think you really wish you could talk.
So what are some of your favorite things these days little girl? Well, a lot of things.
YOU LOVE:
To be naked...
Your bouncy seat...
Watching Sesame Street in the mornings while mommy pumps...
To cuddle with your lovie while you sleep...
The arboretum...we are putting that Family Pass to good use!
Your daddy...
You are the happiest, funniest, most active, most curious little girl. The smiles & giggles you give us all the time now just melt our hearts. I mean, how stinking cute are you?!
Libby, you are the biggest blessing to me and daddy. Such an evidence of God's love for us. We are so grateful to have you in our lives. We love you! Happy 6 months!
