Kate turned 6 months old on the 5th...this past Friday. I was waiting on this post because her well-check was today with Dr. B. We have a very healthy, happy baby! She is so precious to us!
She weighs 15 lbs, 15 oz. and her height is 25 3/4". Her head circumference is 16 3/4". All of these measurements are in the 50th percentile.
Her eyes are still blue. She has two teeth on the bottom (that are a little crooked! hehe). She rolls all over the place when she's in the crib or playing on the floor. She is mobile, but only when it comes to going backwards :). She pushes herself back and gets stuck under couches and changing tables. She can get her stomach up so that she's on her hands and knees, but hopefully she'll wait a while longer on actually moving forward (crawling). Not ready for that yet at this house. Her favorite activity is jumping in her johnny-jump-up.
The most significant thing about Kate at this age is that she is a much better eater! The Prevacid is really working. It's amazing. She will now take a 5 or 6 oz bottle every 3.5 hours (sometimes she goes 4 hours if her nap is long) and doesn't fight me at all about it. I am so thankful. I don't take it for granted...it seems as if every time she finishes a bottle in one sitting I have a big smile on my face and I can hear myself sigh in relief. She has gotten the idea about solid foods and will open her mouth to anything I feed her now. We've tried carrots, green beans, bananas, pears, applesauce, and sweet potatoes. She eats at each meal with Vivian. I've given her a sippy cup with water but she didn't do well with it.
She takes 3 naps a day and she's getting good at finding her pacifier to make falling asleep a little easier.
She goes to bed at 7 and gets up around 7 am. She wakes up once or twice during those 12 hours...still working on that! Today Dr. B said she can go at least 8 hours without eating, so we have the go ahead to skip the 1 am feeding. I'll let you know how that works :)
She grins the biggest when her dad comes home and greets her.
We love Kate to pieces. She is so smiley and fun to play with!
