6 Months Old

Svea-we are totally in love with you. Your little personality is starting to come out. You love to flirt with us and snuggle into our necks. We love you sweet girl! You're already half a year! It goes so fast! Here is what you have been up to!


-You are either taking four short (1/2 hour) naps a day, or one long nap (anywhere from an hour to two hours) along with one or two short naps.  It all depends on what we've been doing, how well you slept the night before, etc.
-You are wearing 3-6 month size clothing and size 2 diapers.

-You are still rolling from back to tummy, but now when you get there you like to hang out for awhile and play. You can push yourself up a bit with your hands and reach for the toy you would like to play with.

-Some nights you only get up once a night and others it's two or more.  I think you are close though to getting up only once a night consistently.
-If we put you to bed on your back you either roll to your side or tummy. We'll let you sleep on your side, but usually turn you back over if you roll to your tummy.

-Your babbling and cooing in starting to sound like more pronounced sounds. You love hearing your own voice and sometimes to get our attention you shriek and scream just a bit louder. You sometimes have this super soft high pitch voice and it is so incredibly feminine and cute.

-You've rolled from tummy to back, but only in your crib. We're not counting it yet because we think it was a fluke and you had gravity and some momentum on your side. We'll wait until you can do this on the floor at any old time.
-You've eaten cereal a handful of times and we'll now start some vegetables...yum!

-You always wake up happy and all smiles when we come in to get you out of your crib. You also like to snuggle just a little bit after your naps. You'll nuzzle our necks and we just melt. We love these precious few moments with you everyday.

-We're not sure how much you weight, but we have an appointment next week. Mom and Dad are guessing high 15 or low 16 pounds.
-Laundry! Whoah...we do a load of laundry for you twice a week baby drooler.....no teeth yet though, just lots of wet bibs.

-You still like to smile and laugh at us, but you are still selective. Paper ripping still gets the best giggles out of you, however this past month we discovered you like to watch us dance. We'll throw on online radio and start dancing for you. You love it. No, we do not video tape this for our viewers pleasure:)

-Walks! You went on your first walk(s) this past month. It took forever for it to finally hit the 50's when we felt comfortable taking you out. You babbled and coo'd and onetime fell asleep. We think you love it!
-You now drink 5 ounces at a time six to seven times a day.
-You have settled into more of a routine with bedtime...going down to sleep anywhere from 8 to 9 and getting up anywhere from 7 to 8.

We love all of the changes that you go through each month!  We can't wait for what you'll do next!
