6 Months


Sophia turned 6 months old on March 19th!  I know I say it all the time, but can't believe she is already 6 months old.  She is still the best baby, so sweet and always happy.  We love her so much and have enjoyed every minute with her.  A lot has happened this month!  First of all her stats: 
Weight: 16 pounds 2 ounces (25-50%)
Height: 26 inches - (50-75%)
Head circumference: 17 inches - (50-75%)

This month:
  • She has started moving all over the place.  She can roll around all over the place and move around really well.  She can sit for a few seconds but then tips over - so I think that will come next month.  She has gotten very mobile the last few weeks.
  • She eats 5 times a day.  One of these has included cereal or a puree the last few weeks, but Sophia does not like anything so far.  She has made it very clear that all she wants is milk.  (this last week, finally, she started liking cereal - which was after her 6 month mark :)
  • wears 6 month clothes and some 9 month clothes, and size 2 diapers
  • She got sick for the first time, twice :(  She got a virus which meant she had so stay home from daycare for a week.  Then the next week she got an ear infection.  This meant 2 rough weeks of sleeping for all of us.  We got back to sleeping through the night again at the end of this month.
  • Other than being sick, she is sleeping well and through the night.  What is great is that she has started taking good naps - normally a shorter morning nap of 30 min to an hour and a longer afternoon nap anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours.
  • She loves to grab anything and everything, and stick all of her toys, her feet and hands in her mouth.  This girl is flexible!!
  • And finally, she is teething!!  I don't know why but this came sooner than I thought it would.  Her bottom 2 teeth cut through basically on her 6 month birthday and the doctor said her top 2 teeth are not far behind.  She has been waking up a lot this last week so I know she is in pain :(  Poor baby!
It has been a wonderful 6 months and we are looking forward to the next.  I know there is so much to look forward to, but I don't want it to happen to fast!!  We love you sweet baby!
