{6 Months Old}



Likes:
*Baths - these seem to be at the top of the like list every month but she just keeps loving them more and more. She splashes and gets water everywhere, now. She has also taken to sucking the water off her toes.. gross, but entertaining. 
*Walks - she loves to be outside so being out for walks in her stroller has become one of her favorite things. She puts her feet up on the cross bar and lounges. 
*Her Toes - we can barely keep them out of her mouth. She's always holding on to them.
*Toys - she loves to just lay and play with her toys. She's able to grab which one she wants and reaches and shuffles to get them if they're out of reach.
*Food - she's a little chubb chubb. 
*Screeching - she has found her girly scream and loves to use it.. all.the.time. 


Dislikes:
*Teething - maybe I dislike it more, but I can't imagine it's on her favs list, either. 
*Sippy Cups - she's scared of them. haha
*Shoes - I cannot keep them on her feet!!! 


Could Take it or Leave it:

*Tummy Time -- she's definitely enjoying it more these days than she used to. I think she's realized that it's how she's going to get places eventually. She gets frustrated when she tries to move and doesn't get anywhere though. 
*The car - she hasn't been screaming lately but she still doesn't love it. I'll take anything but the screaming!!
*Naps - they're so hit or miss. Some days are great, some are terrible! 


What Happened This Month?
*We made the switch from Lactose Free, to Soy formula. It seems to have mad a huge difference in her sleeping and attitude. I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing it sooner.


*We've made the switch to size 3 diapers! 


*She found her voice, again. She stopped talking for about a month... now she's right back to her babbling self. I love waking up to her talking every morning. 


*She sits amazing on her own. When she starts to fall over she can balance herself out and stop it from happening. I'm still nervous to walk away but if I put pillows around I do. I usually come back to her sitting in the same spot playing with her toys.. just like I left her. She gives me a look like "what? I got this!" 

*She got a tooth! Yesterday (May 25th), as a matter of fact. Of course we go on vacation and she spends the entire time screaming and crying and being up all night teething... sigh.

*Speaking of Vacation - we are currently up in the Okanagan visiting my mom, step dad, sister and brother. My step dad has never met her and no one else has seen her since she was just wee (like 2 days old) so it was long over due. My sister graduates on Saturday (OMG!) and so we came up to watch. It's a 9 hour trip and Hadley was great for the entire thing. I'm hoping that the cranky pants teething baby is gone by Sunday when we have to make the drive home..

*We went swimming again, and she loved it even more than the first time. I have my fingers triple crossed that she will love the lake, too!

*I had my first Mother's Day! C had to work so it was just me and the little miss, and it was a great day :)

*She poo'd on the potty 4x. She's been having issues in the department and I just sat her on there hoping it would help and she went with no problem. She is however absolutely scared shitless to death of it. As soon as she's done pooping she loses her mind.

*She moves lots if she's left on her back. She pushes off with her heels and gets around quite quickly. On her tummy she can move a few inches but gets tired and mad that she can't go farther. She's so close to crawling and yet still refuses to roll from her back to front.

*I got her weighed 2 weeks ago and she was 16lbs 7oz and under 26" long. She's a short, chubby butt! She has her 6mo appointment when we get back to PR so I'll see how much she is then.

6 Months Olds... it never ceases to amaze me how much she changes each month. She keeps getting cuter and funnier every day!

Happy 6 Months, H. Your Mumma Loves You xo

It's about to get hard to take this pictures...
