i can't believe that my baby girl is 6 months already. every parent always says that time goes by sooo fast and your child grows up sooo fast, but you never believe them until you have your own children. i am still in awe when i look at aryssa and can't believe she is mine. We had her 6 month appointment today.... she is 14 lbs 7 oz (25%) and 26 1/4 inches (75%) her head is 40 cm (3%) my baby has a little head i guess :)
aryssa is doing so amazing, it is hard to believe she was 6 weeks early. She LOVES to talk and coo...i guess she got that from her mommy :D and from the video that i shared she loves to giggle. she has to be in the right mood to give you a huge laugh, but she gives giggles away pretty easy now.
she can sit alone for like 5 seconds. she LOVES to roll from her back to her belly! the first couple days she started doing it it would be funny b/c we would walk out of the room and she would be laying on her belly checking out the ceiling, then we walk back in and she is on her belly smiling away and checking out her toys. one night we were just playing with her and she would roll onto her belly and then squeal with excitement. she loves being on her belly now and pushing herself way up. she hasn't rolled off of her belly yet, but i think that will be coming soon enough! we have also started cereal and fruits and veggies with aryssa. she does not like peaches! lol the face i got when she tried them was priceless. i thought she was just doing it, but then she started gagging after every bite... so no peaches for her i guess. she loved everything else she has tried, pears, applesauce, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, yams, squash. we have some bananas that we are going to try next. she is still nursing and doing wonderful, but i noticed that when i pump at work i don't have that great of a supply, don't get me wrong usually if i wait 4-5 hours i still pump about 4/5 ounces total. so that is still a wonderful supply, but when she gets bottles at the sitters she is getting 5.5 -6 oz. so i am a little short, but only once and a while i have to thaw some frozen milk for her the next day. i still have tons of frozen milk in the freezer my guess is 200-275 ounces. my goal is for her not to have to have any formula and so straight to milk when the time comes, but if she would have to for a little bit then so be it!
May is going to be sooo crazy for us. this weekend we are heading up to Waupaca to my parent's camper for mothers day and my mom's birthday. next weekend i have a wedding shower, the following is an open weekend. then it is memorial day weekend, i don't think we have any plans yet, but that can always change. then june we have a graduation party, then June 13th is aryssa's baptism.... i know i had mentioned it before about who we were going to have as god parents, well aryssa's god parents are going to be my mom, and grant's dad. then our next baby is going to be my dad and grant's mom. then if we have a 3rd baby i dunno we will cross that bridge when we get there! i know you don't see many godparent's being the grandparent's but when we were at the baptism meeting a couple of the parent's there had their grandparent's as their godparent's and they really liked it. plus we thought and prayed about our decision and it just felt right and seemed to fit perfect for us.
well i guess i better be going now, grant is on his way home from work, and aryssa is taking a nap and could be waking up soon she has been sleeping almost 2 hours now (she loves her naps!)
see you all next time! hopefully sooner than later :)
She does sound as if she is doing amazing! yay! Especially for being early, like you said. And yes, they do steal the heart and grow fast, don't they? It is hard to think that her baby year is HALF OVER I bet! (or should I have NOT said that!?)
