Amelia's 6 month update

These past 6 months have flown by! If the next 6 months go by as quick as the first 6 have, I need to go ahead and get a jump on planning for her first birthday. It's going to be here before I know it.

I just realized that I believe I've been keeping track of her monthly updates wrong. Since this is her 6th month update I really shouldn't post it until she turns 7 months so I can capture her full 6th month. I've been posting her updates as she turns another month old so really my updates have been for the previous month if that makes any sense. I really want to capture her milestones/pictures in the correct month as they are happening so I can look back at this and see exactly what month she did certain things. For now I will post this blog early but keep adding to it as things happen during this 6th month. That seems like an easy way for me to keep track.

Food: Just began to eat baby food this month. She's been such a good eater. So far these are the foods she has tried, and her reactions to them:

1. Avocado's
2. Carrot's .
3. Banana's  
4. Apples 
5. Sweet Potatoes

Sleep: Amelia has been an amazing sleeper from the beginning. She was sleeping through the night at 2 months old! She began sleeping in her crib in her own room at 5 months, and has been doing so ever since. She generally is down for the night between 7-8 pm, and wakes between 5:30-6:30 am. 

Size: Amelia is wearing 3-6 month and 6-9 month clothing. It just depends on the outfit and brand. She just moved into a size 3 diaper when she hit 6 months. 

 Milestones this month...

• Has the whole sitting up thing down pat!
• Loves to grab anything that gets near her little hands. That includes your face and hair. Ouch!
• She has her hand coordination down now and loves to play with toys. Especially toys that light up or make noises. She also LOVES her jumparoo. 
• Moves all over the place now. She can roll from her tummy to back and from her back to tummy.
• Gets in the crawling position, but hasn't yet figured out how to crawl just yet. Although I can place her on the floor and 2 minutes later she will be on the completely opposite side of the room.
• She seems to be a people person. Anytime someone pays her any attention she gets so excited. She especially likes playing with other kids.
• Standing with support. She no longer wants to lay down. All she wants to do is "stand" or sit up like a big girl. 
•  Now eating baby food, and drinking water from a sippy cup. The first food she tried was Avocado and she can't get enough of it. 
• Took a trip to Pullen Park with mommy and uncle Rodney. Got to swing for the first time, Also got to ride on a paddle boat.
