She has done really well in the nursery, and I think she really enjoys it there. Her teachers are all super sweet, and she gives them big smiles when we get there in the morning. She still isn't doing very well napping there. She will only sleep maybe 30-45 minutes once or twice a day. She ALWAYS falls asleep in her car seat on the ride home, and sometimes she will sleep until I wake her up around 6, because I don't want her to be up all night. I am still mostly breastfeeding (or giving her pumped bottles), but she gets one formula bottle a day since I was not producing enough to keep up with her demand. I am very proud of myself for making it to 6 months of breastfeeding. Everything after is just a bonus in my mind, but I don't have any plans of weening her any time soon. I will just keep nursing her as long as my body will allow (By this I mean up to 12 months...I'm not one of these mothers who will breastfeed my child until they are 5 just to clarify.) She nurses or gets a bottle every 4 hours now, and we have started giving her solid food for breakfast and dinner as well. I usually do rice cereal mixed with a fruit for breakfast, and about 4oz of veggies at night. So far she loves everything she has tried. She is doing great sleeping at night. She usually goes to bed between 7-7:30 pm and wakes up between 6:30-7am.
She is wearing size 9 or 12 months clothes and size 3 diapers. She still has her pretty dark blue eyes.
Each month that passes it makes me sad that she is growing so fast, but I am also excited to see the new milestones that are soon to come. She is showing more of her personality everyday, and I just love it. Brady still calls her "baby" most of the time, but sometimes he will say "hey hen". They already have their little sibling bickering going on, and it makes me laugh. "Baby touch me mama!" But, really he just loves to do anything for her. If she drops her toy, "my get it!" He really is the sweetest big brother. We sure are blessed with two of the most precious children I could have ever wished for.
Can you tell I'm dying for her to have some hair? :) |
Brady wanted in on the pictures :). |
