6 Month Update!

Im a bit late but Emma turned 6 months about a week ago. There are definitely a lot of changes that went on the past few weeks! Her weight is now 16lbs 4oz and her height is 24 3/4". She is pretty short!

Eating: 

In the beginning of her 5th month we started on rice cereal, but as mentioned in my last update, she was not swallowing properly yet. I stopped giving her the cereal for about 2 weeks and then instead of giving her rice cereal, i gave her pureed bananas. She loved it! Since then she started eating everyday.

So far, we tried bananas, avocados, peas, acorn squash, and carrots. No complaints from her yet :) I have been steaming and blending the veggies. Other then the solids, she has been breastfeeding as usual. 

Sleeping:

Sleeping has been a bit rough towards the end of her 5th month. She started to wake up more frequently. But after she turned 6 months we moved her in to her own nursery. I think it has been working out so much better. 

Now we don't have to be so quiet all the time when we are in the room while she is sleeping. As she is getting older her sleep has become much more lighter, so she will wake up to the slightest noises. After we moved her in to the nursery, she has been waking up only about once a night. Im so glad she is getting back on schedule. Hopefully it will stay like this for a while. Im still working on decorating her nursery though. I cant wait to finish it! 

Her naps are about every 3-4hrs. She has about 3x a day, 2 are about 30-40min long and 1 is about 1-1.5hrs long.

Misc:

She has been so rolly these past few weeks, its been hard getting her to keep still so I can change her diaper. She has been loving to grab everything and putting them in her mouth. Also she likes to push herself around while shes on the floor now, trying to reach toys. She loves me reading to her and also her jumper! She loves touching my face and pinching it too! Her laughs are getting cuter and her smiles are getting bigger. She is certainly growing in to the most beautiful little angel :)
