6 Months

Happy 6 Months!

Dylan 6 Month News:

• 14 lbs, wearing size 2 diapers and 6 month clothes.
• Night time is a little better, with stretches of 6 hours, then up to eat and right back down to sleep, two times, in the very early morning.
• Nap times during the day still 30 minute cat-naps all day long, with the occasional longer one maybe once or twice a week.
• Still nursing, but starting to do more baby foods a couple times a day.  So far she is a pear and applesauce lover (who isn't?!) and does ok with the orange veg.
• There must be a tooth about to pop, because this kid is super drooly and chews on everything possible right now.
• She still loves sitting in the excersaucer and likes playing with the activity gym (if she can get ahold of something to chew on!)
• Tripod sitting is the newest trick.  She can sit like that for a few seconds un-supported, until she tips over.  Should be only a few more days/weeks until she is able to sit up on her own longer.
• It is also only a matter of time until she will be holding a bottle on her own. She is getting so close and doing it for short periods of time.  I remember that being a big milestone and time-saver, so looking forward to that one!

*This has to be my favorite baby age (6-9 mos-ish)...much easier, can't talk back, can't complain, can't go anywhere yet...just sits in one place being super cute and squishy!
