The Gentry's: 6 Months

Little Bit turned 6 months old on the 20th but since it was so close to Christmas, we didn't go in for her well check until the end of last week.

Don't know why I always schedule well checks during nap time!

She got another great report and we are once again thankful for our healthy baby girl. After 4 shots (she got the flu shot also!) we had a pretty fussy and sensitive baby, but who can blame her! My legs would be tender too!

Eden, at 6 months you are:

13 lbs 12 oz - 9th %
25.2 in - 26%
in size two diapers
in size 1 shoes
in size 3-6 months
still on Prevacid twice a day for reflux
on all formula now (Mommy had a stomach bug around Thanksgiving and it messed us up! :(
so sensitive! If sister accidentally bumps into you, you'll look at us and cry! Wants sympathy:)
sleeping on your side or tummy (we stopped swaddling around 5.5 months and now you just move all over your bed)
not crazy about your paci (this was about the time Macy dropped hers) You will take it but you don't have to have it to fall asleep.
sleeping in your own room now! We moved you on December 11 and the first night you slept 9:30-7 without making a peep. If you made a peep, we didn't hear you because we were SO tired!!
laid in your bed to go to sleep
discovering your bows and headbands and will pull them down to your mouth
staring at your hands. They're fascinating!
playing with your feet
sitting unsupported for a few seconds but sits great with the Boppy
laughs all the time! You have the sweetest little giggle and I just love it.
know your mommy and daddy and will give us the biggest smiles and giggles!
have your hands in your mouth all the time
loving your jumper - it's your favorite toy right now
about to start solids
finally on a dependable schedule!! From 4-5.5 months you were so unpredictable and inconsistent so I am very thankful we have finally figured it out (for the time being!) You still eat 5 times a day and your daily schedule is like this:

bottle when you wake up

not a great morning napper; usually just catnaps in carseat or in bed for about an hour

bottle at 10:30

sometimes another catnap in here

bottle at 1:45

nap 2-5

bottle and cereal at 5:30

bottle at 8:45

sleep 9PM - 7ish

My favorite thing is that I've finally got your nap overlapping with sisters! She sleeps 1:30-4:30ish and I give you your afternoon bottle right after I lay her down.
