Abigail @ 6 Months

 

Can’t believe how much fun this little girl is now! We haven’t been to the dr. yet so I don’t know her measurements, but I’m guessing she’s at least 16 lbs. She’s in her 3-6 month clothes & size 3 diapers.

 

She’s still nursing on demand, usually every 4 hours or so during the day, just after she wakes up & just before she goes to bed. She’s slept about 12 hours through the night pretty consistently the past 3 weeks or so, from 7:30pm to 7:30 or 8 in the morning. She loves her sleep! She’s also got a pretty good nap schedule, usually from about 9:30 or 10 in the morning until 11:30 or so, then again in the afternoon from about 1-4 or so. If she wakes up much earlier than 4 she gets really fussy by about 6:30 but as long as someone’s there to entertain her, she can make it to bedtime.

Since she started eating solids, she’s tried a little of everything. She’s still not really too good at keeping it in her mouth & doesn’t eat much, but she’s getting better. While she seems to prefer green vegetables over the sweeter fruits, this is the face I get most of the time:

She first rolled over April 1st and hasn’t stopped moving since! She’s all over the place now—I never know where I’m going to find her. She loves being on the floor more than anywhere else. She doesn’t really like her bouncer much anymore and she likes the Exersaucer but she’s happiest rolling around on the floor with her toys.

Those fingers (or a toy or something!) are constantly in her mouth. I can feel a little tooth popping in on top but I can’t see it yet.

She’s going to be a little princess just like her sister.

She has definitely discovered her feet. She is determined to fit them into her mouth.

 

  

I would describe her as fiesty but easygoing. She definitely stands her own against her brother & sister when they get all up in her face, pulling their hair or whacking them as best as she can. It takes a lot for her to get upset and if she’s crying its usually only because she’s tired and even then she stops crying pretty quickly. She likes to be cuddled, but only held upright—not laying down. When she’s ready for bed, she just wants to be in her bed, not laying down in someone’s arms.
