6 Months Old

Six month stats:

Height - 25 inches
Weight - 13 lbs 8 oz (7th percentile)
Head Circumference - 42 CM
Bottle - That is a story in and of itself (read below)
Sleep - Goes to sleep at 7:00 pm. I wake up once between 3 and 4 am to feed her and then she goes right back to sleep and wakes up for the day anywhere from 6:30 - 8:00 am. I am honestly completely content with this right now.
Milestone - Basically sitting without support. She still topples over a bit when she reaches for a toy. She is also pulling her little knees up with that cute little booty in the air and is starting to creep forward. Babbles a lot and screeches with joy! She is in LOVE with her little blankies! She sleeps with them and is never without one!

Oh our little love bug!!! After the HORRIBLE day we put her through yesterday I have to say I COULDN'T be happier to PROUDLY be nursing her. Her six month well check went horrible. My doctor just had a baby so we saw the nurse practitioner. She said that Adi was too small and needed to stop nursing immediately. They gave her her shots, said no more nursing, basically we need to force feed her food, oh and have a nice day. Bran and I went home thinking ok the doctors say she needs to switch to formula so here we go. They said she will not starve herself; wait as long as you need for her to take a bottle. To make a long story short after mom cried all day, Adi screamed all day, and daddy was stressed to the max ... 17 hours since Adi had eaten we gave in. At 3:30 am this morning I nursed her and Bran and I thought this is just CRAP. Bran did a bunch of research this morning and honestly for a breastfed baby she is fine. No more forcing anything here in the Haight home. She will do all things in her own time!!!

Siting like a big girl.

She is a little wiggle worm.

Loves to much on the toes right now.

She looks like a real malnourished and unhappy baby ha. :)
