sleep

It's funny that when she wants to sleep she puts her head to the side. Sometimes it looks as though she wants to turn her head completly around. When I put her in her bed or playpen and she's ready for a nap/nighttime sleep, she puts her head generally to the left side and wants her chupete. And at 6 months old she is still waking up at least twice a night for milk. This morning at 5am she appeared ready to play. She loves her jumpy thing. Tonight she was dancing a lot in it and laughing at brother throwing the football down on the floor.

Our nighttime routine is a bath at 8:00ish, dressing, and then milk. She goes in her crib around 8:30ish. By 11 or 12 she's ready for more milk and then again at 3am. Many times she up between those times crying for her chupete. I get very little sleep on many nights!

6 months

My baby is 6 months old now. She can sit up pretty good, sometimes tipping over, though. She doesn't put herself up but if she's put sitting she can stay for a few minutes. She pulls herself up with the bar on her vibrating seat. She eats carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pears, and bananas along with oatmeal and pear juice. She still does not do too well with a bottle and won't drink juice or water from one. I have to put a straw into the drink and suction it up to her mouth w/my finger. She is saying ga-da-da and making some other sounds, still sounding like a kitten sometimes. She has rolls of fat on her tummy and legs/diaper area. Creases! :> Her hair is getting longer but I noticed quite a bit of it in her crib today, like she's losing a good amount. She notices when you call her name and she turns her head towards sound. She looks for her toys that she drops so she's getting her object permanance. Her smile is fantastic!
