Our little girl is 6 months old - half a year! - already. Time really needs to slow down!
Sleeping:
At six months, I would say that Sylvie sleeps mostly through the night. She goes to bed around 7:30 and will usually sleep until around 5 AM. Then she'll fuss in her crib until I feed her and she'll go to back to sleep until 7 AM. Some nights she does fuss in the middle of the night, but those are becoming less often and I think they are due to teething.
Sylvie naps three times a day. Her naps aren't very long though (around 45 minutes), and can lead to some crabbiness if she can't get back to sleep. She can be awake for about two hours before she needs to go back to bed...otherwise watch out! When Sylvie gets overtired, it is not pretty.
Eating:
She is still nursing, although it has become a little harder. She prefers one side which means I need to pump the other side sometimes. It's hard to fit that extra pumping session in when we're in a rush that day. She also is a lot more distracted and won't eat if Judah is in the room or if the TV Is on.
We did start solids on her six month birthday. We started with rice cereal and she ate just a little bit before she gagged and decided that was enough of that!
Growth:
Sylvie weighs 18 pounds, 9.6 ounces (87%). She is 26.25" long (64%). She can still fit in a few 3-6 month things, but they are getting really short. She is wearing mostly 6-9 or 6-12 month clothes.
Milestones:
Sylvie started solids on October 3.
She rolled from her back on to her tummy on September 23. Sylvie can roll, but doesn't do it often so we are still working on tummy time every day.
She is also working on her first teeth. We can see little lines on her bottom gums and she is doing a lot of chewing, drooling, and is sometimes fussy so we know those little teeth are on their way.
Likes:
Sylvie likes singing and music, chewing on fingers and toes, her colorful ball, riding in the car, taking walks, remote controls, and being rocked to sleep
Dislikes:
Wiping her nose and missing naps
She's always chewing on something!
I love that little tuft of hair :)
Ready for her first taste of cereal
Judah is such a good big brother - he gets very excited for all of Sylvie's "firsts"
