Once again I am a few days behind making Arden's 6-month pose. That's OK though. I am still feeling a bit overwhelmed having two children and returning to work. I miss my babies while I am gone!
Here is what Arden is up to these days:
- Rolling over from her back to her tummy frequently and quickly. She is now able to return to her back most of the time by herself.
- Sitting independently (for the most part). Arden can sit without support on the ground pretty well now. She still looses her balance occasionally if she reaches for a toy or something.
- Actually starting to play with toys. You love the exersaucer more than being held sometimes. You also love anything that makes music.
- Arden, your favorite people are still Mommy and Loren. Daddy is also a favorite of yours. You have taken well to Mrs. Cheryl too.
- Arden is still eating about 5 ounces at each bottle feeding and two servings of solids a day.
- She is wearing size 3 diapers. We got you some of the Huggies jean ones and you look super cute with one and a white t-shirt.
- Arden's clothes sizes are 6-9 months and even a few 12 month things
- Still lots of drooling but no teeth.
- Your six month check up is scheduled for 9/19 (soonest they had?!) but I took you in to the doctor on 8/25 for a little rash and you weighed 19.5 pounds
- Arden is doing so well at Mrs. Cheryl's! She seems to enjoy being there and even naps for Cheryl!
- You love to tap your little arm and hand against things repeatedly and grasp hold of anything you can get your hand on - including hair. Ouch!
6 month old Seminole!!
Arden, we love you sooo much and I can't believe my little baby is a half a year old already!
**UPDATE** - We were not able to get in to the pediatrician for Arden's 6-month check up until 9/19 which would actually make these her stats for 6 and 1/2 months. Arden weighed 20 pounds and 7 ounces and was 28 1/2 inches tall! She was off the charts for both weight and height. In case any one was wondering, the doctor says she is proportionate and NOT too chubby. :)
