Our Journey: Ady // 6 Month Update

I fondly remember the 6-9 month age with Drew. Although there are a ton of fun ages, this is my favorite and now that we're entering it with Ady, it's almost sad. I know it will go way too fast and she'll be a feisty little toddler before I know it! But be still my heart. The giggles and smiles and chunk. It's the best.

Stats: (we are at the doc this morning so I'll update with real stats shortly....)
Weight: 19lbs (85%)
Height: 26in (50%)

Sleep: We've been putting you down drowsy and so far it's been great. Most nights you might let us know you need your pacifier put back in once or twice, but then your out. Generally you sleep 8-7a, but some nights you still wake up for a quick nurse. It's funny how I just don't mind them this time. Knowing you're probably our last I love seeing your face in the middle of the night for a brief visit. Naps are still super sporadic at school but on the weekends you generally take a small snooze around 10a or 11a and then a good afternoon nap for an hour or two.

Eat: Other than a few formula bottles while we were at Disney world, you had only breastmilk again this month. You also tried ride cereal (hated it) and avocados (didn't really love that either).

Diapers: You have moved up to the FuzziBunz size medium. You were, however, in disposables this last week due to the amoxicillin reeking havoc on your stomach. (Thanks ear infection)

Clothes: You are mostly in 9-12 month clothes except for a few 6month hoodies and shirts that still fit.

Talk: You love flexing those vocal chords and even screamed a few nights ago which scared the poop out of yourself. We all couldn't stop laughing at your reaction! I'm trying to get you to say momma and your father is trying to get you to say dadda. We'll see who wins that one.

Other: Like I mentioned above, you had your first bout of sickness. I knew the minute I saw you batting and scratching your left ear that it was an ear infection. Luckily I think the meds kicked it and we're back to normal. You were a champ though... barely getting fussy and still sleeping awesome. You also got your first tooth just after turning 5 months old. I think another one will be popping soon. You're also sitting for a few seconds at a time and I'm assuming you'll be fully sitting within a month or so. Oh and you've really gotten the hang of jumping in your exersaucer. It's adorable watching you bounce up and down!

And just for fun, here are both my kiddos at 6 months. Definitely the same shape head, same nose and mouth but the eyes up are quite different. Drew also had much bigger feet!
