6 months

Aubrey James is 6 months old! This 1/2 year mark has brought lots of “firsts” for her. All of these things have happened in the last couple of weeks:

First airplane ride and first vacation! (I will have a whole post about that soon).

 

First taste of fruits and veggies!

 

First time to sit up by herself!

 

First time in a highchair!

 

First time to drink water out of a sippie cup!

 

First time to go swimming!

She has actually been in the pool in a float but I don’t have a picture of it. This picture shows her little blow up pool with a Bumbo which is what she did on the beach every day.

 

Wow! Lots of new things! We also had her 6 month checkup and everything looked great. She is 28.5 inches long which is the 99th percentile and 17 lbs. 9 oz which is the 82nd percentile. She is a chunky monkey!!  She is still taking 4, 6 oz bottles a day and she eats rice cereal or oatmeal with a veggie or fruit twice a day. So far she has loved sweet potatoes, carrots, and applesauce. Not a fan of green beans! She makes the most hilarious face when I give her a bite of green beans. She still sleeps from about 8pm to about 7am. She is not the best napper in the world, mainly because she is so inconsistent with them. Sometimes her naps last 30 minutes and sometimes they last 2 hours. So, some days she only takes 2 naps and some days she needs 3. It all depends on how long she sleeps and also whether or not we are on the go. She will cat nap in her stroller or car seat but it is usually only a quick one and she will wake up if the car stops or if we try to take the car seat out of the car. The girls used to sleep through ANYTHING and actually still do but she is a pretty light sleeper which is kind of a bummer. Other than that, she is pretty much perfect. Here are a few 6 month pics.
