Addison is a big 6 month old now....and it is amazing what changes have come with this milestone!!! In the last two weeks Addison has learned to sit completely on her own and can play in this new fun position for long periods independently while mommy does things around the house! She is also learning to transition out of this position without having to scream out for mommy....although, she still has to learn how to get in to this position without mommy setting her up in sitting.
Addison is also loving standing with support at her music table and pounding on the keyboard and phone to make noise!!! She gets really excited and squeals!!
Addison has started to be on a nice schedule the last few days.....with awakening around 7 or 7:30am, taking a regular morning and afternoon nap, eating solids morning and evening (9am and 7pm), and going down for bed at 8 or 8:30pm still. She is generally sleeping through the night, but still having a few nights where she awakens one time......not sure if she is hungry, or just looking for a few minutes of company.....but luckily it is just some quick soothing and she is back out again!
She is no longer requiring her Swaddle Me sack at night either! Yeah! We just place her in a fleece pajama and place a light blanket over her legs for warmth. We thought that this would be such a difficult transition...but she does great :-), and seems to enjoy repositioning and sprawling out at night!
Addison had her 6 month pediatrician appointment and shots on the 9th.....ugh, 4 shots in the thighs plus rotavirus liquid to drink....yuck! As much as I dread these appointments and watching her scream when she is poked...she was quite the trooper this time and calmed easily. She had only a mild fever and sore thighs for 24 hours and then was back to her old self! What a big girl!
Addison is now 15 pounds 4 ounces....and 25 inches long! My big girl is growing quickly! She is in the 34th percentile for weight and 23rd percentile for length. As the doctor said, she is a healthy baby-just petite! :-)
Addie continues to eat like a champ!!!! She gets 1/4 cup cereal morning and evening, with a new vegetable or fruit every 3 days..... I spent a lot of time preparing homemade baby food this week.....we have green beans, carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes all ready to go! The first two fruits we are starting with will be pear and banana, because these can be easily mashed by hand fresh! Addison is loving trying new foods!
Addison had a fun weekend.....hanging out with Annie on Saturday and daddy on Sunday.....she watched the UNC game with daddy and friends at "Uncle Freddy's" house. Today we met Kristin and Addison's new friend Riloh (4 months) at the North Washington Cafe for lunch......someday soon they will be buddies.....:-)
The weather is starting to get nicer...thank goodness! Looking forward to some beautiful days with a high in the 40s and 50s.....will make for some more great walks outside and maybe a few rides in the jogger stroller!!! :-) We are on a mission to get Wally in shape.....and mommy ready for her 1/2 marathon the end of April!
Today we received Addie's 6 month birthday present from Opa and Jojo in the mail.....some super cute 6/9 month clothes....thank you! Addison loved tearing in to the package and shredding the tissue paper! We are looking forward to a visit from Opa and Jojo in just a week and a half.
Enjoy pics from the last couple weeks........game time with daddy, smiling after dinner in our highchair, playtime in our new dress, tearing in to our bday package, and showing off our belly on the floor!!!!
