Happy 6 Months Bailey!

Bay-Bay,

Happy half birthday precious girl! Your sweet spirit and smile light up our lives, and you have become your sister's best friend.  She has named you "Bay-Bay" and fiercely loves and protects you.

We went to the doctor this month for your 6 months checkup. You got a few shots (you and your sister cried about that!).  The doctor said you are healthy and growing great!

Stats:

Height: 27 3/4 inches (97%!!)

Weight: 17 lbs. 10 oz. (80%)

Head: 71%

You take a 6 oz. bottle every 3-4 hours.  You have also been eating baby food for dinner each night.  You wake up each day around 7:30, and take 3 naps.  You go to bed around 8 pm.  The foods you currently eat are: pears,apples,bananas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and pumpkin. You are currently wearing size 3 diapers, size 6 month (and a few 6-9 month) clothes, and size 2 shoes. You greatly dislike wearing socks.

You have gotten so strong this month.  You love to sit up-in your exersaucer, swings and at dinner. You also love tummy time! You have not really rolled over, but when you are on your tummy you will get your knees up in the crawling position and swim with your arms.  

You crack us up when you sleep. You want your paci in your mouth, with a lovey on top of your head, and a lovey in each arm! You normally wake up 1 time each night to eat a bottle.  If you wake up for any other reason, you will entertain yourself until you fall back to sleep.

This month you have started babbling and cooing.  You will also blow raspberries!

You have started holding your own bottle.  Mama is not sure she is ready for this, but Daddy is pretty proud of you!

This month you also went to your first pumpkin patch! 

And sadly, you also survived your 2nd stomach bug.  It was a rough few days, but thankfully you are a pretty sweet sick girl. We did a lot of cuddling!

 And finally....a big first this month is: You got your first TWO teeth! Both of your front 2 bottom teeth came in a week and a half ago, within a few days of each other.

Happy, happy girl, we love you SO much! It is such a joy to be your mama and daddy.  You are halfway to 1, and it will be such fun watching the journey.

We love you Baby B,

Mama and Daddy
