Size:
-She continues to measure 50% on all the growth charts for head, weight and height. At her 6 month appt she was 16 lbs, 2 oz and was 26 inches tall.
-She has been in size 3 diapers for quite some time. (Thanks to her big booty and thunder thighs)
-Her 3-6 month clothes are getting a little tight. She mostly wears 6-9 month or 6-12 month clothes.
Eyes and Hair:
-Over the past month or two her slate blue eyes have turned a deeper shade of blue! I love them.
-Her hair is really starting to fill in and somedays we swear it looks strawberry blonde! Its funny to see how fluffy her blonde hair is becoming.
Teeth: Her 2 bottom teeth are completely poked through, and one of her top canines has started to come in. Poor thing had a cold last week thanks to that last tooth!
Sleeping: Oh where did my baby go who slept through the night, 12 hours straight?! Thanks to the teeth that have been coming through she has been getting up about once every night to nurse. Thankfully she eats for about 5 minutes then goes right back to sleep. But every night seems to be different. We are started to feed her more and she seems to give us longer stretches of sleep when we do!
Eating: I am still breastfeeding her, but I am slowly starting to wean her off and she only does it about 3 times a day now. She loves all kinds of baby food but we are trying to incorporate more protein in her diet. She will eat anything we give her, but really loves when she can feed herself. This month I am trying to be better about feeding her things we are eating at dinner instead of just baby food. Thankfully she takes the bottle really well, so on days that I work I don't have to worry.
Milestones:
-Rolls over from tummy to back and vice versa.
-Sits up on her own.
-She is getting VERY close to crawling! She gets so frustrated trying to figure it out.
Loves:
-Being surrounded by people
-Bath time
-Our dog Charlie (poor Charlie just takes the abuse! haha)
-To smile at Mom, Dad and just about anyone else-Water bottles
-Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood
-Watching basketball with Dad (seriously she will not take her eyes off the TV when its on!)
-Sleeping on her tummy
-Sitting in the stroller, facing out to look around
-Any kind of music
-Mirrors
-Being tickled by Dad
-Her cousins Parker and Colton
Hates:
-Laying on her back
-When I take away food that she is chewing on
-Skipping nap time
(She is such a laid back and happy baby that is literally the only thing I can think of!)
Abigail has been such a great baby these past 7 months. Robbie and I feel so lucky to be her parents and watch her grow! I love being able to hand her off to someone and know that she wont make a fuss. (Hopefully this continues!) Here are some pictures from this month!
