On January 9th we finally had our 6 month check. Leah is hanging in at the 'peanut' range, weighing in at 15 lbs 4 oz, 25%, and 25.2", 9%! I still can't believe our daughter is in the 9th percentile for height! I know that doesn't guarantee she will always be short but it's funny to me with Brian being so tall.
Since we got back from Vegas, Leah has thankfully been sleeping through the night again, most of the time on her tummy. It scared me at first but since she flips herself I have gotten used to it, plus she sleeps so great! Sometimes she wakes up but has learned to sooth herself so I hardly have to get out of bed anymore and it is amazing. She has become a great eater too, she loves all the food we can give her and always seems to want more! At home we have only tried carrots (which she hated her first try but now likes them), sweet potatoes, squash, yogurt and applesauce. At school she has started eating their food as well and is doing great! She is on a pretty regular schedule as follows. Wakes up around 6:30 and nurses, gets to school around 7:30 and has oatmeal around 8. Takes a morning nap. Eats her first bottle around 10. Then she has lunch around noon which is usually the food I send from home along with anything from the center provided lunch that she can eat. Naps again and eats her second bottle around 2:30. Then she usually has the center afternoon snack around 3:30 if it's something she can eat. We get home around 5, she eats more food (usually a vegetable and yogurt or applesauce) and then play until the last nursing right before bedtime which is still at 7. She has been going to bed without a fuss and sleeping great, let's hope it continues!
Our always smiling girl. Unfortunately she seems to have inherited her mom's bags under her eyes :)
