Bria- 6 Months

Baby girl you are growing up! January 2 you turned 6 months old!!! 

I'm a few days late on this but we have been busy. You had your check up on the 5th and weighed in at 14lbs 15 oz and 25 1/2 inches long. They said your height shrunk from the last appointment but up until this appointment we have had the same nurse so I think they just measure you different. You are still wearing size 2 diapers and I finally was able to put away your newborn and 0-3 month clothes. Yes, you are 6 months old and can still fit in 0-3 month clothes. However, 3-6 months and 6 months are a little baggy but don't make you look like your preparing for a horrible flood.

The doctor liked your weight better even though you are still a tiny little thing. She was so excited that you had 2 teeth, sitting up on your own and trying so hard to crawl. 

We were able to start you on solid foods as well!!! We started with oatmeal, which the first day you weren't a huge fan of it, then as the days progressed we made it a little thicker and you ate both bowls full each night we gave it to you. Then we tried bananas and you absolutely hate them! Daddy was gone the first night we tried them so mom made a video of your expressions and I couldn't stop laughing. I wondered why you hated them so much so I gave them a try and I myself thought they were pretty sweet. We tried again Friday night and you still HATE them. I wish I was making this up but you wouldn't even open your mouth this time around and every time I got the spoon close your face you started crying. I finally gave up after probably 20 minutes of trying. 

Mom and dad went to the Garth Brooks concert in Tulsa this weekend and I told grammy not to even bother giving you bananas because it would be a lost cause and we stuck to oatmeal. However, tonight 1/11/15 we tried green beans. Well, this was another failure. Wouldn't open, started crying, it was a disaster. I did get a few bites in your mouth and then you would kind of gag but then swallow them and all was right the world. Daddy tried and had about the same luck. We will try again tomorrow.

We also got to start you on a sippy cup of water. You LOVE using your sippy cup, I don't know how much water you actually get out but you get the point and you like to hold/play with it, so whatever makes you happy kid. 

Still love bath time and now that you can sit up on your own after you are all washed up we take away your bath seat and let you sit in the tub, when we do that you just splash and splash. You are also starting to play with the rubber ducks Aunt Jodi and Uncle D got you. 

You aren’t really sleeping through the night anymore but we have noticed when you wake up its because you have wiggled across your crib and end up smashed at the end of it and can’t figure out how to get yourself unstuck yet, so we have to put you back in the middle of the crib and put you back to sleep. Definitely a change for mom and dad though having to get up in the night!

You are trying so hard to crawl, you get up on your hands and knees and start rocking back and forth but just can't seem to figure out how to actually go. I think before long you will have it!

I believe that is all for your 6 month check up, it has been a crazy past few months but I am looking forward to spending the upcoming weekend at home alone with just you, your dad and your puppy dog getting stuff done and doing whatever we want!!

 Next up, your first Christmas!
