6 months old

My Sweet girl is 6 months old now, I can’t hardly believe it. Where did the time go? It doesn’t seem like 6 months ago I was at the hospital asking what I was suppose to do with the squirmy little thing when we got her home. The doctor and nurse giggled.

Dear Lily,

My goodness this last month was a busy one for you my little sweet girl. You have had a few “firsts”, you grew a lot and you really matured. Some time over this last month people have pretty much stopped stopping us in every store to comment on how tiny you are. We still get told that you are beautiful all the time but rare are the amazingly tiny comments.

Some of the cool things from this past month are:

You had your first food

You rolled back to front at our breastfeeding group, twice now.  It was on a table and scared/surprised me.

You giggled this sweet back of your throat spurt giggles (sort of like deep sort of cough but not really) and you only laugh when you are good and ready too.  Which I hear is a family trait.

We have worked out a pretty good night time routine which includes a massage that you LOVE.

You have started to not scream every time I put you in the car seat.  You still cry I’d say 75% of the time but that 25% is a heavenly drive.

We celebrated your first father’s day

You are still wearing mostly 0-3 month clothes but some of the 3-6 month stuff sorta fits. In fact the cute purple outfit you wore in you week 26 picture is 0-3 and just about falls off.

You are finally using all those cloth diapers we bought before you were born. I love them. And one nice side effect is they help hold your pants up.

You are my Buddy, my Partner in crime, my best friend.
Love,
Mama

Sorry I’m a couple of days late again.

First solid (sorta) food – nom nom nom

This past Sunday Lily had her first bit of sorta solid food. We went with homemade rice cereal. I wouldn’t have attempted making my own but Lindsey had just done a post about making her own and it seemed really simple so I went with it. It was really simple. I used organic sweet brown rice, which gave a nice little bit of sweetness to the cereal which was nice.

At first Lily had no idea what to do with the gloopy stuff I was putting in her mouth. But with each bite she got more and more of a hang of it. It was amazing to watch the little gears working.
