6 months old

Kaitlin’s 6 month doctor appointment is next Monday. So I’ll post her height and weight after we go. In general Kaitlin is more active and is curious about everything. These days most things end up in her mouth.

SLEEP:
We made some improvement in the sleep area this month! She started to sleep through (most) of the night. On a good night she’ll go down around 6:30 pm and get up at 4:00 am to eat. She’ll go right back down until 5:30-6:30 am. On a bad night she’ll wake up 2x to eat. Very rarely does she wake up because her pacifier fell out (which was a big problem early on). She has pretty much been only taking 2 naps per day (sometimes they are only about a hour though). We really haven’t let her fully cry it out (CIO) yet. Normally when she gets so worked up, we pop the paci in and she’s out immediately.

FOOD:

She’s eating solids 2x per day and takes 4-5 oz of formula at each bottle feeding (approx 25 oz per day).
- Mornings - cereal/oatmeal mixed with fruit
- Afternoon – cereal/oatmeal mixed with veggie
Recently she’s been eating the entire stage 1 jar of solids. I think we’ll move to stage 2 soon.

MILESTONES:
- Still pushes up to her hands and is trying so hard to crawl (sometimes she can get onto her knees)
- Can roll over in both directions (she doesn’t barrel roll yet)
- She rolls and scoots as her method of getting to things. She can also rotate on her tummy.

- Sits unsupported for up to 10 minutes at a time
- Plays independently very well (she will play in her crib for 20 minutes or so after she wakes up)
- Everything goes into her mouth
- Great at grabbing items from your hand and transferring between hands. Can pick alternatively with either hand.
- She loves the jumparoo (which we just broke out), her Laugh and Learn Puppy and her laptop toy
- Loves being outside and soaks in everything
- No signs of teeth


You don't understand how much she really wanted to play with Minnie. She kept grabbing Minnie each time I picked up the camera.
I was dropping her off with Ruth this morning.
