Today Baby Belle is 6 months old.
Wow.
In ways it has flown by, and in many ways, it has not.
We have been busy the past 6 months:
Big Belle has started Kindergarten,
Clara Belle started a new daycare, and then Baby Belle joined her.
I was off work, and then back to work.
And so on.
I haven't had (oops, made) Baby's 6 month appointment, but hope to do that this week. I don't know if they will get us in because flu, viruses, and strep throat are running rampant around here. And naturally, it is a flu not covered by the flu vaccine. While not usually one to become "paranoid" (except for only semi-rational reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with any current world crisis) the thought of this crud running through my family has me a little on edge.
Would YOU want this little face to be sick?
I know I just posted this picture, but I was too lazy to add comments before.
Just LOOK at those toes. Pointing and flexing, they were just delicious to kiss.
Notice our 6 month skill -- sitting up! That is ALL she wants to do, but she gets pretty upset when she bonks her head. Which makes sense of course.
At her last doctor's visit pre-ear infection 11 days ago, Baby Belle was just at 15 pounds. We've just about used up the size one diapers, I try and squeeze every last moments out of them that I can. I have been using the size 2s at night to make sure there is enough leakage protection. She sure is not a skinny baby, but doesn't have a huge tummy. It is more in her thighs, and duh -- those cheeks. So she must have a small bum.
She has slept through the night twice, last Thursday and Friday. What happened Saturday and Sunday I'm not sure. She's being OFFERED baby food every night, but isn't a big taker. No surprise seeing it took her 4 weeks at daycare to even nibble a bottle there. I can't remember her height, so that will have to wait until the official 6 month visit. I think some of her outfits are getting a little small. But I'm not breaking out the next size quite yet.
Thanks for checking in with us! I'll try to be back with more tomorrow. Baby Belle is yawning, so it's time to begin our pre bedtime stuff.
'Night!
