Callie at 6 Months

Age: 6 months old

Weight: 14.1 pounds  15th percentile

Height: 25 inches  23rd percentile

Head Circumference:  42.25 cm  44th percentile

Clothing: She is completely out of 3 months now, and wearing 3-6 month sleepers, and mostly 6 month clothing even though they are still pretty big on her. She is in a size 2 diaper and 2-3 overnight diaper.

Sleeping: It is definitely not getting any better. She goes down anywhere from 8:00-9:00 at night, and usually wakes around 1:30 am to eat, than again at 4:30 am. However when she wakes up at 4:30 she doesn't go right back down, she usually stays awake until 6:30 playing, talking, crying. Once she goes back down, she will usually sleep until aound 8:00, never past it though. I put her down for a nap at the same time every day, but the length that she sleep varies from day to day. She goes down at 10:30, 1:30, and than again at 5:30. Some days each nap is only 45 mins, other days I am lucky and they last 2 hours (those are rare though)

Eating Habits: We began solids this month!! We start  with organic brown rice, 2 days before she turned 6 months. She loved it, she actually cried because I wasn't feeding her enough. Milk intake has gone up a bit as well. She is still eating every 2-3 hours, taking in anywhere from 4-6 ounces at a time. At night she usually gets around 6 ounces before bedtime, than 4 ounces for each night feeding.

Favorite Activity: Watching a playing with Austin. She absolutely adores her big brother, no one can make her light up like him.

Milestones: She has master rolling over from her back to tummy, and is almost a master at rolling tummy to back. She is great now at grasping and holding onto items. Once she has a hold of something it usually goes straight for her mouth. Her newest milestone is sitting up unassisted. She is still wobbly at times, but she is getting much stronger and more confident in her abilities.

Updates: Lets see, we celebrated her first Thanksgiving, and she is now officially a half year old. Nothing else to report.
