6 months.

Briggsley has reached her half birthday/6 months/ half a year old...however you want to spin it...my baby girl is growing so quickly. I cannot believe how quickly the time has went.

In the past month there has been a lot of firsts and changes...

First time being sick. 

Escaping of the swing

Sitting up for minutes at a time!

Baby cereal!

Table foods!

Growing out of bumbo!

Rolling clear across the living room! And tearing stuff up.

SLEEP:

Sleep has been getting better, since I have been spacing your nursing sessions out to every 4 hrs instead of 3.5! Naps are still going pretty well as long as you are not too tired. I think you are in the process of dropping a nap but cannot quite figure it out just yet. I also think you may be in the process of dropping all your night feedings ;o) You started flipping over on your belly at night & then couldn't get on your back since you were swaddled...so we "broke" that little habit right around the time change. Yup killed 2 birds with one stone.

Daily Routine:

Not much has changed...other than you are able to stay awake longer and now you have "meals". Bedtime is still around 830 but for a while there it seemed like you were trying to make it earlier. 

FOOD:

You breastfeed 4 times a day and sometimes once overnight. You are eating lots of solids. I knew you were ready when you started screaming when we were eating and you didn't get any. You practically jump out of my arms to get to food! Avacado was your 1st food and you loved it. In fact you have loved everything you have tried so far...banana, squash, sweet potato, pear, apple, green beans, peas, noodles, broccoli, crackers, and bread.

Funniest moment:

Milestone:

You are rolling all over the place front to back, back to front...you can roll clear across a room!

You are pushing your entire chest and some of your belly up with your arms.

You try to sit up so hard! Little tummy crunchies!

You also are attempting to crawl. You actually can get up on your knees and scoot as mommy calls it!

You were tri-poding back at your 5 mo b-day and have graduated to sitting for several minutes at a time!! Yup we have a full blown sitter on our hands!

You are still pretty strong and love to stand!!

Your favorite toy:

You love your seahorse! Grammie brought a "quack quack" duck & book out that you have fallen in love with!!
