Happy 6 Months!

Ashlynn,

I can't believe you are already 1/2 a year old! It seems like the past 6 months have flown by.  Your daddy and I love you more everyday.  Our lifestyles have changed in many ways since your arrival, but we would't change it for anything!

You were pretty sick on your 1/2 birthday, but we took a quick picture.  This was the first bad cold that you have had, and it was tough on you and on mommy and daddy. It was also the first time that you had to go to the doctor for a reason besides your regular check ups.

Your 6 month stats are:

Weight: 18 lbs. 6 oz. (90%)

Height: 26.8 in. (84%)

Head Circumference: 43.2 cm. (71%)

You got a few more shots this time around as well.  

As of 6 months, you had only rolled over 3 times.  The doctor was not worried, and said that it was because you are a little chubbier than some 6 month olds. :)

You are wearing 6-9 month (and a few 12 month) outfits.  You are mainly in cloth diapers, but wear size 3 disposables.  We tried wearing shoes this month, but you did not care for them!

You are still  SUCH a happy baby.  Your eyes smile all by themselves!  

Tummy time is not your favorite activity, but you do ok if there is a baby video playing in front of you. You still love your playmat, but prefer to sit at it instead of lay under it.  You love to sit in your exersaucer.

You are sitting up like a pro! You also like to hold our hands and pull yourself to a standing position. You also have a new sit&play/walker that you love to play with!

Each day, you take 2-3 naps.  You go to bed around 8:30-9:30.  Most nights you will sleep through the night.  Being sick meant that you woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep.  You would stay up for 3 hours and just play in your crib.

You are an excellent eater! You have only eaten 1 meal a day (dinner) this month.  You will normally eat 2 oz.  Peas are not your favorite.  You also take 6-6.5 oz bottles every 3-3.5 hours.

In 6 short months we will be celebrating your 1st birthday! We can't wait to see how much you change in the next 6 months of your life!

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy
