You are growing up so quickly, and you continue to be the sweetest, happiest baby on the planet. The biggest change over the past month has been your introduction to solid foods. I prepare your food myself, and so far you've tried avocados, bananas, mangos, pears, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes. Your favorites seem to be avocados and bananas. People can't believe you eat avocados...even the nurses at your 6-month visit were shocked! You tried baby yogurt for the first time yesterday and LOVED it. And Daddy and I might have snuck your first bite of a vanilla cupcake over the weekend. (But that's our little secret...you probably liked it too much.)
You are still rolling all over the place, and you're getting better and better at sitting on your own. We think you'll have mastered it very soon. You "swim" on your tummy, and you've just started pulling your knees up under your body, so you'll probably be crawling in no time. You talk and coo and babble constantly, and you're starting to string syllables together and sound as if you're talking in sentences. I'm convinced you've said "Mama" a few times, but Daddy's not buying it.
Daddy has found your best tickle spots, and he can make you laugh louder and harder than anyone else. You are also incredibly fond of Phineas, and you laugh whenever you see him. I think you guys are going to be good friends.
You have transitioned to a 4-hour feeding schedule beautifully. You still sleep from 7:15pm until 8:00am...and some mornings you even sleep until 8:30am! You nurse four times each day, and you eat three solid meals that line up with our family meals. Daddy and I enjoy our time spent around the dinner table with you each day. Some days we are incredibly blessed to share all three meals together as a family of three! You take two 2-hour naps each day, and occasionally you'll catch a late afternoon catnap.
I mentioned this on my Facebook page last week when you officially turned 6 months old. S
