6-7 months

So right after the last post I took her for her 6 month checkup at the doctor. She weighs 19# 14oz and that makes her in the 95th percentile of children for weight, off the chart. She still has the rolls of fat on her back, tummy, and legs. It's so cute.
Now she's almost 7 months old. Within this past month she's begun to get on her knees & rock, in an attempt to start crawling. Also, the doctor said that I must stop feeding her twice a night and let her cry it out during the night. So the first night after that visit, she slept until 3am, instead of waking at midnight and at 3. It was a few nights later that we did the crying it out. The crying spell lasted about a half hour for 2 nights in a row and some other nights it's been a 10 minute deal but otherwise, she's done ok, like sleeping from 8pm until 4am or last night, 9pm until 5am and then back to sleep until 7am. I'm finally getting a bit more sleep these days. And within the next month I intend to stop working and finally be home with her full time!! yay :>

She's doing more babbling sounds and I'm trying to just speak in Spanish to her. Oh to live in Spain! How can that be done!!
