6 Months!

Where has the time gone?? Our tiny little baby isn't so teeny anymore and is growing up! It is so much fun to watch her learn and grow each day but man it goes fast! Cambry had her 6 month appointment last week and got an A+ in all areas. She is a healthy little girl and we are so thankful for that! Here are some things Cambry is up to these days...

* Weight: 18.5 lbs (90th percentile)
* Height: 26.5 in (90-95th percentile)
* Cambry loves her sleep! She takes 3 naps a day each 1 1/2 - 2 hours and sleeps from 8:00pm-7:30am.
* Up until now, Cambry has been eating oatmeal twice a day and 6 oz of breastmilk at each of her 5 feedings. We got the go ahead from the doctor to start veggies and fruits. So far we have had sweet potatos and butternut squash, both of which she is a fan!
* She gets so excited about her food. She kicks her legs and does a little breathy pant until she gets her first bite! So cute!
* We are in the process of transitioning to a 4 hour feeding schedule.
* She is sitting up on her own. Way to go baby girl!
* She has 2 little bottom teeth that are growing taller--I still can't believe it!
* She loves to talk--she jabbers away and we are noticing some little syllables in there.
* She plays peek-a-boo with us and it is just so cute!!
* She loves Lucy. She giggles when Lucy gives her kisses and always looks around to find her at the sound of her collar when she comes into the room.
* Cambry is reaching for and grabbing anything in sight!
* She has discovered her hands and feet & will study them & then try to eat them. :)
* Over the past month or so Cambry has started sleeping on her tummy. We lay her down on her back and she immediately rolls over to her tummy to sleep.
* Cambry loves to read! She gets so excited when we get a book to read and she stays interested in it the whole time. She loves to help us turn the pages, too!
* She still loves music. Singing to her lights her up and also is very calming for her. She likes any toys that light up or sing too!
* She likes to sit in her bouncy seat while we are eating dinner. She kicks, squeals, giggles & talks the whole time.
* She still LOVES her pacifier! We try to give it to her only for naps & bedtime & those times we are out and about if it is getting close to nap time and is needed.
* Cambry is still a very easy going baby and has such a happy disposition--as long as she has had her naps! :)

Some pictures of this last month...

Eating cereal for the first time!



She did pretty good and thought it was yummy!



Practicing sitting up all by herself!



Nothing better than reading with Daddy!

Happy girl!

Pretty girl!





I would have to agree with my friend Sarah when she said that the 4-6 month age range is her favorite! So far it has been my favorite too as she has reached so many milestones, she is awake longer stretches during the day, is so tuned in to us & her surroundings & is just a happy go lucky little girl! We just love seeing so much more of her personality! I love, love this baby girl and can't wait to see what next month brings us!
