It is bittersweet for me to say, but my baby is 6 months old already. *Sigh* OK, I think I'll be alright :)
Kylie is growing so fast I can hardly keep up with her! This little girl will be crawling and/or walking before I know it. It is so fun to see her learn something new or do something different each day. Lately, it has been a little something like this:
open mouth
insert (blank)
hold the (blank) with a death grip
cry like mad when mom takes the (blank) away!
But, hey, that's what 6 month olds do, right? As I type, she is trying to reach out and play with the laptop. And, of course, put it in her mouth :)
Anywho, here is a little log I kept of Kylie on the progress she was making on each of the months between 3 – 6 months. It’s not necessarily exciting news, but I like to keep track of things like this for her baby book.
3 months
Giggles in her sleep
Acting more alert and aware of her surroundings
Sitting up more (supported)
Turning her body while lying down
Responding to colors
4 months
Taking a bottle (this one took her a while!)
Taking a pacifier more regularly (also took a while!)
Sit comfortably in the bumbo
Laughs and talks more
Had her first headcold
Grasping and holding things
Responds to singing
Started teething
Started to roll over
5 months
Started holding her bottle while feeding (not quite a pro yet though)
Started on some solids (Rice cereal mostly)
Stands up in her saucer
Touching things like my face
Slept in her crib and not the swing (yay!)
6 months
Sleeping through the night (YESSSS! Notice it’s at the top of the list!)
Supplement breastmilk with some solids everyday (veggies mostly – she loves carrots!)
Smiling a lot
Crying is for babies, screaming is for 6 month olds J
Helps dress herself (putting arms through sleeves – very cool!)
Grab whatever is nearby and shove it in the pie hole!
I gotta say, however sad I may be of my baby on the fast track to toddlerhood, she is making me fall more in love with her every passing day. I am learning to appreciate each stage, and enjoy each memory in the making.
Here are some memorable moments from 3 – 6 months old!
