she has gone down in height some (if you don't remember :), she was 90th percentile last time), but the dr said that it could be she wasn't stretched out enough and is most likely somewhere btw the last two times' percentage. he said that her weight is steady and that is what they watch first. with 6 month milestones, she is right on. so, she checked out a.o.k!
a few things about heidi (some of these bleed over into her being almost 7 months):
- she has cut her first two bottom teeth.
-she is babbling all the time with all kinds of high pitched coos and 'ba ba ba', 'da da da', and 'na na na'
-she loves her big brother, as he adores her. they can amuse each other for quite some time. it is so precious to hear them get each other laughing hard at the same time.
-she loves to eat! she nurses 5 times a day (though in the last couple days we have tried dropping one. so far so good.) and eats two full meals of oatmeal or rice cereal and stage one veggies and cherrios.
-at about 6 weeks she slept like a champ. and for a long time i would feed her at 8pm and we would not hear another peep out of her until 7am. a couple weeks before turning 6 months, she started waking again in the night. at first we thought that maybe it was a growth spurt, so i'd feed her in the night when she would wake up screaming. this continued on for two weeks or so. decided a growth spurt shouldn't last that long and maybe she just wasn't getting enough to eat. so we started feeding her cereal. she ate this eagerly, but still was waking in the night. guessing it was just forming a habit and/or sleep aid, we did some tough love nights. very hard. the last few nights we haven't heard a peep out of her (except about and hour in. she did that before. cries for a bit and then goes back to sleep). so, here's hoping i didn't ruin it by telling you all about it :)
-seems to have some beginning stages of preferring mommy. don't quite know what to do with this as boden has always been a daddy's boy.
-smiles that make your heart melt.
-wants to grab at everything. i mean everything. especially at the table. she is so interested in what we are eating and doing. boden was not like this at all. boden still does not care what we eat. we'd really like him to :)
-she sits up by herself quite well for several mins. still not brave enough to leave her that way unattended though...
-has started pulling up her butt and knees, but has not made it to knees and hands yet.
-squirms all over the place. she never stays where you put her for long.
-can stand pretty well if holding onto someone or something.
-likes her bath.
-has tons of hair.
-has a little excema (sp?)
below are a couple pics taken the week she turned 6 months. can't believe she has been with us for half a year now! crazy!
