Wow,
Lilly has hit that six month mark and it is like we have a totally different
baby. It is hard to even remember back
to the early days when she was eating round the clock, waking up several times
a night and barely able to hold her head up.
Now she is sleeping through the night, eating only 5 times a day and
moving and shaking.
Sitting
was a major milestone of Lilly Bug this month.
She was really shaky when she turned 5 months, but now she is a pro and
she is testing her limits by leaning, reaching and chewing on things while
sitting. It is quite comical to see her contemplate
the situation and then just go for it.
It seems to be her personality, think then do. Once Lilly made a habit of sitting up, scooting
and army crawling were soon to follow and man can this gal scoot towards
something she wants. I think it is great
training for after Thanksgiving Day sales in the future. I have some video to post of her army crawling
towards her favorite objects, mostly electronics, which I will post soon.
Lilly
also started to dine on rice cereal mixed with breast milk and she is happy to fill
her belly several times a day. After
some trial and error, I found that I was mixing the cereal too thin for her
preference, she likes it best when it is similar to rice pudding… must be a flash
back to the rice pudding I liked to eat while pregnant. Her recent check-up with Dr. Kern was right
on curve and she is weighing in at 13.4 pounds and 25 inches.
