Abigail: Month 6

At 6 month check-up:

• 16lbs 15.26oz
• 26.57in
• 17in head circumference

She’s meeting milestones and such a happy and alert mama’s girl 

• She played peek-a-boo on purpose
• Tried peas!
• Still blonde (I guess technically light brown) straight hair and bright blue eyes!
• She has a VOICE. She likes to spit, chat, laugh, and scream (she straightens her arms very dramatically when she screams).
• We are trying lavender on the feet.
• She snuggles and gives good kisses!
• She got a pretty bad cold and can't sleep.
• Claire was playing under her while she was in her jumper, and tipped it over. Thankfully Andrew was close by and scooped her up quickly.
• Still so happy and chatty! She wakes up with the sweetest little coos after a good rest.
• Meme kept her while we took Claire to the doctor and she refused a bottle, but was still in good spirits. She did take a bottle the second time. The milk had not been frozen, meme got it pretty warm and it was in the latch bottle with size 2 nipple.
• She was loving some green beans in her boon feeder. Puréed some, and I think they’re her favorite.
• She's working really hard on sitting up.
• Her poops are starting to solidify.
• She tried avocado again and really liked it, she also tried blueberries.
• We’ve started he cry-it-out process at night. It’s made for 3 extremely long nights. She just really wants to be held 24-7.
• She rolled from her back to belly on 10/22!!! Takes a lot of encouragement for her to do it, but she’s rolled a few more times! She doesn’t do much rolling from belly to back.
• Staring to do really well sitting up unassisted.
• She’s an aggressive grabber (read: clawer) when she wants something.
• She lays her head on our shoulders to snuggle!!!
• She’s done several 4 hour stretches between feedings during the day.
• I swear she says “Mama” when she cries.
• She was pascal for Halloween (trunk or treat). She just wore warm clothes for actual Halloween because it was cold and rainy. She slept on daddy’s shoulder while we trick or treated!
• She very intentionally grabs Claire’s face and pulls her in to kiss her.
• She loves to hold straw cups and suck on the straw.
• SURELY she will get s tooth soon with all the chewing she does!

She loves: blankie, being held or just around people that are paying attention to her, claire, Claire’s toys, green beans, and blueberries
