She is still breastfeeding (go me! 6 months was a big goal of mine!) as well as eating some solids. She loves sweet potatoes, pears, bananas, and carrots so far. She loves to grab the spoon and try to feed herself.
She is still up every 3 hours at night...sigh...but will usually eat and fall right back asleep. She is more consistent with her napping--one in the morning (usually pretty long-2-3 hours) and one in the afternoon and occasional cat naps here and there. I've been trying not to bring her to bed with me at night, but if I'm exhausted I sometimes will when it's 4 or so in the morning. I still swaddle her.
I can still carry her around in the Baby Bjorn, which I LOVE. I don't think I could carry Caleb around in it for longer than a couple months, so this is nice. Much easier than lugging that carrier around everywhere we go. She's my petite girl. :)
She is rolling everywhere now, and grabbing at everything. She puts everything in her mouth. We got her a Sophie the Giraffe teething toy which she loves (crazy $20 piece of magical French rubber!). No teeth yet, but we keep thinking she's working on them. Who knows?! She has sat up unsupported for a couple minutes at a time. I know I'll blink and she'll be crawling! She loves her Jumperoo.
Caleb can make her smile and laugh like no one else. I can't wait to see what good friends they will be as they grow up together. This morning he willingly gave her her purple blanket and stuffed cat that he made for her, that he has been keeping for himself all this time. So.sweet. He always wants to help me with her, and is so concerned whenever she cries. She is blessed to have him as her big brother.
We had her baby dedication at church on Sunday! Gigi, Nana, Pop-Pop, and Uncle Matthew were all there. It was CRAAAAZY crowded (over 150 babies between the 2 dedications) and I couldn't hear anything Nate said, but it was good to see so many families whose desire is to raise their children to know and love God. It's SUCH a privilege to teach my children about how much God loves them and desires to have a relationship with them. I hope they will be shining examples of Christ's love throughout their lives.
Here are some recent pictures!
