6 months and still a Skinnie Minnie!

Seriously where did half a year go!? How is it that my baby is 6 months old today? I pretty sure I blacked out for some of those months, because they have flown by.

Easton is at a great stage right now. You can roll and throw her around (in a playful manner of course) and be a little more rougher with her. She is past the delicate baby stage, but still isn't mobile. Yep, the key to that last sentence is she ISN'T mobile. Which means we can play around with her and she will be in the same area as we left her. Notice I said area... well she has mastered rolling and turning and she is currently perfecting scooting. So while she isn't mobile just yet, she still manages to reach those toys that are just out of arms length and roll around all over her blanket. I tell Josh all the time this is such a wonderful age and to enjoy it because before soon she will be getting into all kinds of things.



Easton's Stats:

• 6 mo. Shirts


• Pants... welp once again my skinnie minnie needs the waist of 3 mo. and the length of 6 mo. so for now she just has saggy britches.


• She pushes herself onto her hands, but hasn't figured out all fours yet. Though she will put her booty in the air and get on her tip toes.


• We are working on sitting up by herself. She can only do it of a very short period.


• She wants to sit up so bad that when she is laying on the floor or your changing her diaper she will do baby crunches. Where she lefts her head up to her belly trying to sit up. It is so funny!


• We are still rocking size 1 diapers!


• 7 oz. is still the magic number for her bottle at daycare.


• She says Da..Da..Da a lot. Which Josh LOVES. We are still working on Ma..Ma..Ma..


• She has finally got into a nap pattern. She usually takes an hour mid-morning nap and anywhere from 20 mins. to an hour and a half afternoon nap.


• No sleeping through the night yet. She wakes up around 1-2 am 80% of the time to nurse or be rocked, but every once in awhile she will sleep right through the night like a rockstar. It is just hit and miss.


• She LOVES the dogs. They are her BFFs! She thinks it is so funny to match them play and walk around. Once they are in her sights her eyes are locked in on them.


• She gobbles down 4 tablespoons of cereal twice a day like a champ.


• She rolls, rolls, and rolls. She has figured out that she can roll over to her toys to get the ones out of reach.

We went and saw Dr. Yu on the 17th and he said she is looking great! We can start baby food 3 times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner right away. He said to start with veggies and give her one veggie for 5 days and build on that. This way we will know what she is allergic to. She has a cough, stuffy nose thing going on and he thinks its allergies. So we are giving her 1/2 tsp. of Zyrtec at night to see if clears things up. Oh, I almost forgot... she weighs 13 1/2 lb.s and is 25 3/4 inches long. Dr. Yu said she is following her curve nicley! He also asked me if she was sleeping through the night and I said sometimes, but most of the time she wakes up once a night to nurse. He smiled and said "She is just snacking. She can sleep through the night." He went on to say to let her cry for 20 mins. when she wakes up in the middle of the night. I just kinda chuckled at him and told him I wasn't ready to do that. He laughed at me and said "Well when you are ready to get some more sleep then let her cry for 20 mins". It was a great 6 month check up minus the shots.

Below are some of her 6 month photos I took. She really had no interest in taking pictures and was much more interested in what the dogs were doing. As you can tell she isn't looking at the camera very much.

She wanted nothing to do with the tutu. I don't think she liked how if felt. Hints why her hands are in the air away from it.
