We interrupt our normal posting to bring you this 6 month feature of our incredibly adorable Addilyn...
Can you believe she is 6 MONTHS?! Wow. Half of a year. Thats crazy. And how BIG she has gotten!
She hasn't had her 6 month appointment yet so I'll be back later with her stats but here is what she has been up to...
- SPITTING! not spitting up, but spitting...like a cross between razzing and spitting...you have to be careful or she'll get ya right in the face
- Eating....she has now had rice cereal, applesauce, bananas (only a few bites and she didn't seem to like them very much, we'll have to try again), pears and peas! She is doing really well but we still need to work on the art of the spoon.
- Still nursing about every three hours and napping about 3 times a day though I'm lucky if its even an hour at a time...I sure wish I could figure out how to get her to nap longer
- She is now very proficient at rolling over...she goes from her back to her tummy quite frequently and then she'll bury her face in her hands and suck on them...lol...then she gets mad, she knows how to roll back over but won't do it very much...silly girl.
- She is like her mommy and loves to sleep on her tummy...there is no stopping her now, even when Zach tries to put a rolled up blanket to keep her from rolling she just goes the other way. :)
- She is pushing her head and chest up really well now on her tummy as you can see from the picture above....I'm sure she'll be figuring out how to army crawl soon
- Addi loves to suck on her hands! And anything else for that matter...I see some teeth in our near future. Be careful or she'll get you with one of her slimy hands!
- Babbling...this one is new, like just yesterday and today...I've been telling her to say "mamama" for a little while but she has just started doing in yesterday and a lot more today. But just when she is upset...lol...its really cute. She'll say "mamama" or something that sounds like "tatata" It makes her seem so much older hearing her "talk" like that.
- SMELLY diapers! Oh my goodness my least favorite thing is her poopy diapers...they SMELL now...like really smelly...and brown and goopy...but at least she doesn't have blowouts anymore but oh that SMELL...yuck!
- Laughing...she laughs more but still not very often...she seems to be selectively ticklish, sometimes she is and sometime she isn't...be she sure does SMILE! And I love how her eyes just LIGHT UP!
We sure do love our Addi!!!
