However, now that my sweet lady is 6 months old today, I wanted to do a blog to remember all her sweet things she likes/dislikes at this age!
Hailey is the sweetest little lady, but full of drama. Where Landon was easy, she is hard and vice versa. It is literally like having another first child. Here is an idea of Hailey at 6 months old?
Likes at 6 months:
-Loves to nurse and hang on to Mommy's necklace during the time.
-Loves Landon even when he is a bit crazy. She always looks to see where he is at and she can usually find exactly where he is since he is so noisy!
-Loves to eat solid food-her favorites seem to be veggies and oatmeal-so far she doesn't seem to be allergic to sweet potatoes.
-Likes to do tummy time, but still doesn't roll frequently. She can roll belly to back on most occasions, but I have yet to see her roll back to belly. She has done it once, but I MISSED IT!
-Loves her jumperoo and her mamaroo still. She is finally done napping in her mamaroo, but still will sit in it in the evening while I make dinner.
-Likes her toys and loves to grab at all her toys.
-Loves her paci-it helps her go to sleep and calm down throughout the day.
-Loves riding in the stroller in the big girl seat-she likes to be able to see.
-Loves to be worn in the Mai Tai carrier since she is right next to me.
-Loves to talk and be talked too-she loves all the attention!
-Loves the cats and Rusty.
Dislikes at 6 months:
-Riding in the car-though that is improving.
-HATES-medicine-she shakes, cries, and practically froths at the mouth when I have to give her Tylenol or motrin. We are going to be in trouble when she has to take antibiotics.
-Really doesn't love fruit unless it is mixed in with her oatmeal.
-Dislikes sleeping still =). Her naps are improving and her night time sleep is improving as well, but still not great. She gets up between 2-4 times per night and usually will at least take one long nap each day if I am lucky. Otherwise she takes short 45 minute naps. I don't see her sleeping all night any time soon!
-She hates to be really hot or cold-she likes to be just perfect. It should be interesting this summer when we are out and about alot in the car seat.
A day in the life of Hailey:
-Up at 720 sharp-it is amazing how that happens almost every day.
-She nurses, gets dressed for the day and plays on her playmat.
-She runs around with me to Landon's activities-she particularly enjoys music twice per week-once with Landon and once for her actual class.
-She just started getting baby oatmeal mid morning-she loves that.
-She usually takes one morning nap-maybe two if we are out and they are short.
-Back home for play time while Landon eats lunch and then down for her long nap at 1.
-She is usally up by 3 and nurses again. Then play time in the jumperoo.
-She MAY go down for a nap around 5, but she seems to be trying to drop that evening nap. SO instead she spends time in the mamaroo or swing while I make dinner.
-She eats dinner and gets some veggie purees and then some chunks of food to pick up and eat. She mostly just pushes the chunks around right now.
-After dinner she heads up for bath, bed, boobs, and books and is in bed by 730!
At 6 months:
-Can sit up unassisted for a few minutes.
-Can roll belly to back.
-Has rolled back to belly once-but is super close other times.
-Reaches for toys and puts everything in her mouth. Her hand/eye coordination is amazing.
-Laughs all day at Landon, particuarly when he misbehaves ;).
-Growls when happy and mad-you sound like Daniel Tiger, which I am convinced is where you learned it!
-Reaches for eyes, hair, earrings, and nose-I can tell you are going to have to learn to be gentle in the coming months.
Here are her six month pictures:
We love you baby girl. You have brought so much joy to our family in the last 6 months. I can't wait to see what you will learn in the next 6 months!
