6 Months

IMG_0036 STOP TIME! STOP!!!!

Malia is a half a year old – I guess this means I need to start planning her first birthday, huh?  She is growing up so fast, and sadly, I have to let her :(  Every morning I am woken up to her happy face – and it always makes everything so much better. Mommy loves you my sweet 6 month old!

Current stats:
Weight: 19lbs, 4oz. (95th + percentile)
Height: 28 inches long (95th+ percentile)
Head Circumference: 16 3/4 (50th percentile)

*Still exclusively breastfed. Eating every 4 hours through the day and once in the early AM (about 4am).

*Started solids at 5 1/2 months old. We’ve gone through rice cereal, apples, peas, pears, and squash. We will try oatmeal and peaches this week.

*Since starting solids, Malia’s sleep schedule went out of whack!  She was going down like normal at 7pm, but then waking up at 9pm, 11pm, 1am, 2am and 4am.  I was DYING (so was Shane) so we took out rice cereal and added some white noise to her room. I think that did the trick.

*Malia had her first overnight at Grandma and Grandpa’s without Mommy and Daddy. I think I cried more than anyone. Malia slept 7pm-4am STRAIGHT!

*Malia rolled over for the first time and Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Becky got to witness it!!!

*She still thinks her big brother is the coolest guy in the world.

*She will laugh HYSTERICALLY when Jackson jumps on the bed.

*Not quite sitting up yet on her own, her pediatrician says that she just has no interest, and that’s okay – she can see everything laying down.

*Malia can move her binkie from hand to hand.

*We introduced the duck tub this month. She does pretty good :)
