Half way to a year! 6 whole months old! I have a 6 month old! No matter how I say it, I still can’t believe it. She is the cutest thing ever and so much fun! She is so grown up now, playing, *nearly* on the move and eating big girl food. She has baby fat rolls on her legs and the cutest chubby cheeks. She definitely has her own little personality!
6 Month Favorites::
1) Frozen Teethers – Or unfrozen for that matter. She LOVES to chew on things. We keep waiting for some teeth to pop up but nothing yet!
2) Baby food – She has been eating baby food and loves it!
4) Spoons – This is just as good as a teether for all I care. She will practice with her spoon and knows exactly how it works!
6) Restaurant highchair – She just recently started to fit in the highchairs at restaurants. We have a cover for them that we attempted to use a couple times but we find that my purse or some burp cloths and a pack of wipes behind her works best to keep her propped up!
7) Bibs – we have one messy eater!

25.5 in :: 45th %
15 lbs :: 25th %
Still a tiny little thing!
Milestones::
{Sitting up}
She can completely sit up on her own and play with her toys. If she tries to turn or reach for something too far out of her reach she still topples over but she is pretty steady!
Oh. My. Gosh. She loves this game. Over. And over. And over. She can’t get enough!
{Butt in the air}
I’m not sure this qualifies as a milestone but it’s the first steps toward crawling. She has, a couple times, scooted herself forward (army crawl like). She gets those knees under her and I’m sure she will be crawling or at least almost there by next month!
Sleeping::
{Night time}
This has been a regression this month but I think this is mostly due to bad napping (see naps below) and a possible growth spurt/teething/allergies/anything else I can think of.
{Naps}
We attempted to get her to start napping in her crib this month. She used nap in her rock and play. This went terribly. After 2-3 awful weeks of no sleep, we gave up and went back to the rock and play. I don’t know what our future plans are… I guess we will try it again a little later.
Eating::
She is still breastfed and eating her cereal. We started baby food again about a week ago. She has had carrots, peas, squash and sweet potatoes. She pretty much will eat whatever we put in her mouth, she’s definitely not picky *yet*.
{Fourth of July}
Her first Fourth of July and she LOVED the fireworks. She just sat there and watched them. They didn't scare her at all.
Happy 6 months baby girl. You are taking the world by storm!
