Andie @ 6 months.
A few quick facts.
Andie at 6 months:
Weighs: 18 1/2 pounds
Size: 6-9 month clothes, Diapers size 3
Eats: Breastfed (pretty sure the new bottles I purchased prior to her arrival will never be used :)), but I absolutely love my time nursing her. She is starting to practice using a sippy cup. Foods she has tried: apples, pears, sweet peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash, butternut squash, peaches, banana, prunes, avocado. She now picks up little Puffs to eat and loves those.
Teeth: no teeth yet! Quinny had 6 at 6 months and 8 at 8 months so this is new, but truthfully her little gummy smile just keeps her looking younger (time is going so fast so I'm perfectly fine with that!)
Sleep: She has always been our catnapper, she takes about 3-4 thirty minute naps a day. At night, she still varies a bit, but she wakes 1-2 times in 13-14 hour window. Bedtime is 6-6:30, wakes for the day 7:30-8:00.
At 6 1/2 months she naturally started moving to 2 naps and thankfully they are stretching out a little so she gets a decent nap.
Personality: Andie is our super smiley, happy as a peach, joyful little angel. She shows all of her emotions on her face, there is no hiding them with her. And luckily most of the time it is pure joy you see in all the dimples on her cheeks. She giggles like crazy, especially at her sister. It's pretty rare to hear a cry from her, but if you do it's 100% because of being tired. She fusses a little when we put her down to sleep, but it always is very predictable and short-lived.
Andie is my thoughtful little listener. When she is looking at you, she is really looking at you and her eyes just stare deep into yours. It is one of my favorite things about her. That and she is into giving the most amazing little squeezes right now. She grabs my shoulders pulls herself in and lays her head on my shoulder and I never want to let go. It's the sweetest and it melts me every single time. I never want to forget that.
No crawling yet, but this girl will logroll across a room in seconds!
Andie, you are the most delicious, joyful baby and we love you to pieces. We can't get enough of you! Instead of hoping for the nights you stop waking or waiting for teeth to come or your little knees to pick you up and take off crawling, I find myself embracing every sweet little moment and hoping all those milestones don't come too quickly. I love my moments with you in the quiet of the night. Since you were born you always have woke just babbling for mommy to come, never with a cry or scream. We are so lucky to be your parents sweet girl.
And, we aren't the only ones who love you to pieces.
Your big sister is so in love with you.
