So, um...this mommy is
At half a year old, what is Lily up to?
- Rolling and scooting everywhere
- Sitting up pretty well- we still have to be right with her in case she tumbles over.
- Wearing size 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers
- Cutting teeth- one is all the way through and another one is starting to poke through
- She is gnawing on everything...as you can tell! ha.
- She weighs 14 lbs 9 oz and is 25 inches long.
- She loves to eat! So far she has tried avocado, peas, green beans, bananas, applesauce, peaches, sweet potato, oatmeal, carrots, rice cereal, watermelon, cantaloupe and pears. She likes everything, but all the orange foods {peaches, sweet potato and carrots} give her the most horrible rash. We'll try them again in a few months and see if she can handle them.
- She takes three 6oz bottles during the day and a 8oz bottle at bedtime and she eats solids 3x each day.
- She takes a morning and afternoon nap and sleeps pretty well at night. She has been waking up during the night lately and I've just brought her to our bed and she's gone back to sleep. I know that's not the most ideal situation, but this mommy has got to have her sleep!
It is so awesome to see how fast Lily is growing and changing. Just even in the last few weeks we've seen her develop in so many new ways. She's talking a ton, saying da-da-da-da, her hair is growing {finally!}, she's exploring like never before. We praise the Lord for our precious daughter. She is our little blessing!

Awh it is so exciting to watch her grow...she is a doll Kelly!!
ReplyDeleteSo precious!
ReplyDeleteWe did the semi-co-sleeping thing too. You're right - you need your rest! Don't feel bad about it. I miss the days when I could bring Ben to our bed and he would go back to sleep... ha!
She's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteOn the taking her to bed - what is "ideal" is what works for you both best, mama! I morphed into co-sleeping with Graeme, and then purposefully chose it with Cole. He's never slept in his own crib/room, and I love it! Co-sleeping isn't for everyone, but it sure has been great for us. I think some baby's personalities respond really well to it...they just need extra nighttime parenting, for whatever reason.
She is growing fast...
ReplyDeleteShe is such a pretty baby girl!
Happy half a year birthday to Lily!
