I know I say this every month, but holy cow, our little girl is growing up so fast!!! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital and now she is half a year old. I must admit that she is getting to be a LOT more fun and active. She is sitting up all by herself like a champ, even in the bathtub. She has started eating solid food, although she is not a huge fan yet, she rolls around the house and talks up a storm!
As soon as I grabbed the camera she got all serious, but I finally got a few smiles out of her.
She has worn the same tutu in all her pictures so far but it's finally time to get her a new one. It will be cool if I can find the same one in a bigger size.
Rylee had her 6 month check up yesterday. She is starting to be sketchy around people the doesn't know. She was good with the nurse (who obviously spends the most time with the kiddos) but she got a little mad when she picked her up to weigh her...she didn't want to lay down. Then when Dr. Saba came in to do his checks she was not a happy camper. She started freaking out when he was checking her ears, eyes and heart. Then the shots came and she screamed at first and then just sobbed for like 10 minutes--I felt so bad for her. This was the first time I went in solo (usually dad handles the shots) and I did pretty good. I guess I am just getting used to hearing my daughter scream. Does that sound bad? haha She weighed 15.2 pounds (I thought she was going to be heavier than that) 50%, was 26 inches, 75% and her head measured 16.5 inches, 75%.
She loves to talk! She has her "ba ba ba" and "ma ma ma" down so we have been practicing "da da da"
She still sleeps very well at night. Last night she slept 11 hours straight! I have recently decided to move bedtime up a half hour because by the time 8 o'clock rolls around she it so exhausted and cranky that she might as well be sleeping. She is mad throughout the whole bedtime routine including bath time. It seems to be working out for her and for us. She is constantly moving in her sleep too, she starts kicking and then will rotate in her crib. She has started rolling onto her side to sleep and the other day I went to check on her and she was actually sleeping on her tummy.
Rylee is constantly doing something, I think the only time she somewhat holds still is when she is sleeping. She is a professional roller now and isn't getting as fussy on her tummy as she was before. The other day I put her on her back in the middle of the living room while I was making dinner and all of a sudden I heard her fussing and it literally sounded like she was under the table! She had rolled all the way over to the tile and got "stuck" on her side against the chair. I know crawling isn't too far away and then we are gonna be in for it! I keep thinking how our house is not even close to being baby proof. Looks like daddy will have a project soon. **side note** I did find a baby gate that looks like is has never been used at a garage sale for $3...pretty excited about it :) She loves to kick her feet, suck her toes and everything she can get her hands on goes right into her mouth. I was working on her baby book and she kept rolling over to see what I was doing and I would pick her up and move her and she would role back to check on me. She grabbed the envelope the pictures we in and started eating it and then she got mad that I took it away from her only to find that she had a mouth full of paper. She's crazy!!!!
Eating!!! We attempted real food yesterday and she is NOT a fan...yet. We are going to try again today to see if it goes better. I gave her rice cereal as well and she liked that so I would give her a few bites and then sneak in something else and she just looked at me like "mom, I am not stupid I know what you are trying to do" Here is a video of her eating carrots.
