6 Months!
Happy half birthday baby girl! I cannot believe you've been in our lives for 6 months now. Everyday gets better and better. Lily is so full of life and smiles, I swear I've never seen a baby smile so much in my life!
Weight: We're thinking 15 pounds, Rollie got on the scale with her and that's what we gathered. Our 6 month check up isn't until the first week in March so we will find out for sure then. She has really (ahem...) filled out, she has major baby rolls!
Diet: Same, mostly breast-milk but we are supplementing formula once a day while at daycare. After having a week off at the end of January with Lily definitely helped boost my production. I love nursing. It's easy, free, convenient, and efficient. On the other hand I hate pumping, washing pump parts, and washing bottles. I'd love to breastfeed for a year, but realistically I think I'll make it to the 10-11 month mark.
Lily loves oat cereal, num num crackers, peas, pears, and squash. We currently feed her solids at night (hoping for a longer nights sleep) but after our 6 month check up we will see what the Dr. recommends.
Sleep: Still hit or miss. Sometimes we have great nights (sleeping from 7pm-2am, up to nurse for 10 min and then back down until 6/630am) but other nights are up at 11, 1 and 5...ugh! I'm pretty exhausted these last few weeks. We've been social butterflies which is great but with Lily's erratic sleep schedule its caught up to me...but that's a whole other post. Naps are also very frustrating, sometimes she naps for 30 minutes and sometimes 2 hours, and sometimes 3x a day and sometimes once...
Health: Great. 95% of the time she is a happy camper. The teething has seemed to stop for the time being.
Baby Gear We're loving:
-baby Einstein jumper....still a bit too small for it but can tell it will be great
-piano play mat
-sofie the giraffe
-stuffed bunny
-any teething toy she can get her hands on
-Bob stroller
-crane humidifier during these cold dry winter days
-Ergo carrier
-bright stars stuffed elephant and giraffe with rubber feet for teething
-penguin mirror that she looks at during tummy time
-caterpillar wubbanub (paci)
Milestones/Firsts:
-lots of giggles and laughs
-touching her toes
-noticing Rufus alot more and petting him...its the cutest
-lots and lots of talking, and definitely finding more sounds (the squeal...yikes!)
-lots of drooling and blowing bubbles
-saw the ocean and loved the waves!
Nicknames:
pumpkin, sweetie pie, baby girl
Favorite Books:
Goodnight Moon, Goodnight San Francisco, Owl in the tree, Where is baby?, Lilly's chocolate heart
Postpartum: Slow and steady wins the race, right?! I'm down 5 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight, which means 20 more to reach my goal. Its tough knowing how many calories I should be in taking while nursing, but I love using myfitness pal app to track everything.
