Combined 6/7 month posting





Weight:  14 lbs, 11 oz at 6 month visit

Length: 25 inches

Moods:  So happy!   (though you might not know it when I try to take these pics!) Go with the flow.  She handled the zoo in the heat over naptime a few weeks ago... such a good baby. :-)

Favorite foods:  We've come a long way in 2 months!  She has liked all her baby foods (Stage 1 and 2), but we are doing finger foods too (gotta keep her busy while Mama eats!).  She's tried strawberries, pears, nectarines, bananas, avocado, and sweet potatoes - she loves to feed herself with that adorable raking grasp.

We are doing great with breastfeeding!  Her love of solids has made it easier for me to keep up with pumping at work.  This is the farthest I've ever made it exclusively breastfeeding.... hoping to make it a year!

Teeth:  None yet!  We swear it's any day now....but she's been chewing on her hands for weeks. :-)

Favorite toy:  Little rattles

Favorite hobby:  Rolling!  She's started sleeping on her stomach (she flips instantly once you put her down), and diaper changes are getting difficult. 

Playtime:  She has really taken to the jumperoo, but she also does really well sitting on the floor with a few toys.

Sleep:  About 7:30pm-6am, with one waking around 1am usually.  She has slept through the night TWICE - here's hoping it becomes more frequent!  Her naps are quite regular - usually down at 9am and 1:30pm, for 2 hours each.  But she's flexible if the big kids need to get out of the house for the morning.

Milestones:
-Social: She has the best smiles, and gives them most freely to Daddy when he gets home from work.  Chloe is the best at getting her to laugh (and also cry probably....she loves her pretty aggressively!).
-Language:  Just some little 'roars'
-Gross motor:  She sits very well, and can push herself into a sitting position from her tummy.  If on all fours, she can scoot backward and sometimes rocks like she's going to lunge forward (but no crawling yet).
-Fine motor:  Loves to feed herself with a raking grasp.  Grabs toys, mommy's glasses, Sissy's hair...

Pulling the blocks down Eating the blocks Weight: 17 pounds Moods:  Happy except for meal time....lots of grunting and growling that is hard to interpret (Are you done?  Wanting more?  Wanting to feed yourself???) Favorite Foods:  She loves to feed herself and is doing well with her pincer grasp.  She has tried chicken, hamburger, and ham.  Likes yogurt and cheese.  She loves crackers and Cheerios.  Any berries or soft fruit are a hit.  Also loves roasted sweet potatoes. Teeth:  None yet!  Our latest teether for sure... Favorite toys:  Things with buttons, her farm set. Favorite hobby:  Trying to crawl up the one stair from the carpet to the hardwood; trying to pull up on things. Playtime:  Floor time to practice her mobility.....but now that she's crawling, you've got to watch her like a hawk! Sleep:  Two naps per day (about 2 hours each).  Goes down easy at night and has been...

Weight:  19 lbs, 13 oz Height: 29" Moods:  Sassy!  She has a lot to say (babbling loudly), and has an opinion now when something is taken away from her. Favorite foods:  She is slowing down as far as amount eaten, but still eats everything.  Teeth:  Only 4!  Two central incisors on bottom, and two LEFT upper incisors - they aren't aligned and it's so funny. :-)  See top picture above. Favorite toy:  She really likes her walker, and her new jack-in-the-box from Auntie Krista. Favorite hobby:  Pulling all of the toys out of the toy box, and gunning for the stairs if someone leaves the gate open. Playtime:  Pulling everything out of the cupboards, cruising along furniture, climbing stairs, ruining the big kids' toys, and...finally interested in books! Sleep:  Down around 7:15, up around 5:30 (!!).  Two naps/day, two hours each. Milestones:  -Social:  Laughs when others do.  Mimi...

Selah is 2 months old

Weight: 9 lbs, 9 oz (14th percentile) Length: 22" (36th percentile) Moods: She's most happy in the morning.  If we don't get a good morning nap, she tends to be fussy unless held. Favorite foods: Milk! Favorite toy: She likes her activity mat, and will hold the octopus sometimes. Favorite hobby: Defying mommy and daddy with short naps. Playtime: Morning mat time.  Baths are always a hit! Sleep: Around 6 weeks, she began eating at about 2 and 5am.  Around 8 weeks, she cut back to around 3-4 am, then up for the day around 6:30/7.  She's been a bit off since traveling this weekend....but hopefully we get that pattern back!  She has one long mid-day nap, but other naps are irregular.  Milestones: Smiles!  A rare 'coo', which we love to hear.  Good head control. She was born on her great-grandpa Ray's birthday, and turned two months on her great-grandpa Paul's birthday.  My loves     ...
