{Happy 6 Months!!!}

Last week Little Miss Miriam turned 6 months old! I cannot believe how fast time as gone by! Her half birthday has come and gone!

We visited the pediatrician for her well child check up and she's doing wonderfully! She's still my little baby. Miriam is around the 75th percentile for height and around the 15% for weight. What a little lady.

At 6 months she's still in 3-6 month clothing. We moved her into size 3 diapers just because she kept leaking through during the night. She still is a little small for them so we have to cinch them up real good :)

 

We're inbetween 2-3 naps a day so that's kinda tricky. She still is not a very good sleeper at night. She is never "awake" and wanting to play, but she just wakes up frequently and loved to nurse back to sleep. I was worried that she was still so tiny and that she needed to nurse so frequently. The pediatrician told me she is FINE and should be sleeping through the night at this point. SO - night training has started. It's going pretty good. I slept for 7 hours straight which is the longest I've slept at one time in over 6 months - so I'm feeling good! Send happy thought over our way so that she can figure it out and we'll all be a happier bunch! 

She's a good little nurser and loves food. LOVES food. She likes to eat "real" food much more than the pureed baby stuff. For example, she loves to suck and chew on nectarine slices, or a tomato slice, or zuchinni. 

She learned to sit up! About a week after hitting 5 months she was sitting up on her own! Big girl! We still have some face plants and toppling over, but she's gotten better about just rolling over and dealing with it lol.

Her eyes are changing colors! They used to be pretty blue, but lately they've been dark blue on the outside, green in the middle, and a golden brown on the inside - they're beautiful!

Her first tooth came in as well! Her bottom right! (and it looks like her bottom left is starting to poke through as well!)

She is just as happy and smiley as ever. She is a beautiful, beautiful baby. I cannot get enough of her little face. Sean and I frequently remark about the love bullets that shoot from her eyes when she smiles. You can physically feel the love she is sending you - it's pretty amazing. 

She is a special, blessed little angel baby.

A look at the last 6 months!
