I know I say this every month when I do this type of blog but I can't believe it is time to write about you being another month old! It makes me smile to see all the things you are able to do, but sad to see my baby growing up so fast! Where has all the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that your daddy and I brought you home from the hospital.
This month you have changed so much!! While we didn't do anything really great and wonderful to blog about this month you have really grown up.
Here are a few pictures from this month....
This month you had your first taste of something besides formula.....rice cereal. You were not a fan at first, but you have grown to tolerate it. At the very end of the month (we were told to wait until you were five months, but I figured a few days weren't going to do any harm) we gave you your first taste of real food. We decided to go with bananas...you LOVED them!! You will grunt for more if we don't feed you fast enough.
We have spent a lot of time at Daddy's ballgames this month because it has been so pretty. You really enjoy being outside and his girls love having you there. We had to buy you a new hat so your head wouldn't burn in the sun.
You have also started to really enjoy the toy Santa brought you for Christmas. We put you in it several times a day so you can play. You even share your toy with MH.
Here are a few things about you this month....
* At your doctor's appointment you weighed 13.3 pounds.
* You are 25 inches long.
* You wear a size 0-3 month clothes, but you do have a lot of 6 month bubble outfits that you are able to wear.
* You got your first pair of sandals (size 0 - but they are too big).
* You sleep in your pack n play beside Mommy. You sleep through the night, but in the morning you enjoy sleeping in the bed for a couple hours.
* A few times this month you had some rough sleep nights....one night you even slept in the bed all night.
* You wear a size 2 diaper.
* You drink 6 oz. bottles 4 times a day. Sometimes at night you get 7 oz.
* You are very long and we have had a hard time finding you pajamas to wear.
* You love Patty Cake, You Are My Sunshine, and This Little Light of Mine.
* You are starting to play with toys. We went to Toys R Us one day to buy a new toy and you wouldn't let me put these silly bongo drums down.
* You have very good hand eye coordination.
* You are drooling and chewing like CRAZY, but we haven't seen a tooth yet (the doctor says it will be another couple of months).
* I left you for the first time this month :(
* You still love to take a bath and you are still taking baths in your infant tub in the sink.
* You are babbling and giggling like crazy!
* You discovered your feet for the first time this month.
* You like to watch TV, especially Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Doc McStuffins.
* You still don't like tummy time.
* You are trying to roll over. You are able to get to your side.
I know there is so much I am not remembering. It seems like you are changing every day. I love to cuddle with you at night. You don't love to be rocked anymore, but I can lay you next to me in the bed and you are sound asleep within minutes. I have also enjoyed watching you laugh with your daddy. Everyone looks at you and says, "That is Brian Wakefield in pink and a hair bow. Whitney, were you even there?" I guess it is ok that you look like your daddy because you are absolutely beautiful! You love when people tell you you are a pretty girl. You just smile and laugh.
I love every moment of the day I get to spend with you and hate to see each day come to an end. You make me smile constantly and amaze me with all your new discoveries. I look forward to spending each day with you. I don't know what either one of us are going to do when I go back to work :(.
Love,
Mommy
