Parker Penny // 6 Months

I can't believe it.  I've been a mom for 6 months.  It's kinda hard to remember life before this sweet girl came into our lives. 

There is so much that has happened between month 5 and 6, but my absolute favorite thing about this age as that Parker can now sit up.  I think babies sitting on their bums is just the absolute cutest thing ever,  and I couldn't wait for her to reach this milestone.  She still topples a bit if she doesn't have something behind her, but she's getting stronger every day. (But I'm definitely not ready for her to start crawling yet)!

Here are some updates-
Food:: So far she's tried avocado, banana, sweet potato and oatmeal.  She's super into food.  Every time Andy and I sit down to eat she intently stares at our food and reaches for it.

Poop:: Her blowouts have massively decreased since starting solids; but now her poop stinks and it's more adult like poop.  Her farts stink too.

Talking:: On February 20th (I remember because it happened on our anniversary), she distinctly went from cooing to making very pronounced sounds.  She says nanananana, and dadadadada, but no mamamama yet. 

Play:: She has moments of contentment sitting in a corner playing with her toys.  It's nice that I can get a few things done while she plays.

Sleep:: Baby girl is sleeping through the night!!!  She goes to bed between 530 and 630 (usually) and wakes up around 7am.  We have a random wake-up every now and then, but for the most part I am getting consistent sleep now! Yay!

Naps:: She usually takes a nap between 930 and 1030 and will sleep anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour.  Her second naps is sometime between 12-1 and she will usually sleep from 1-2 hours.  BUT, some days she wont nap at all and just roll around in her crib. 

Likes:: This girl loves peek-a-boo and favorite song is the Itsy Bitsy Spider.  She also likes it when I clap. 

Dislikes:: She hates when I get out of eyesight and is still a little iffy about being passed to other people.  I'm starting to accept that this girl is not a cuddler.  This helps me understand why she hated being swaddled, is not a fan of the car seat and doesn't enjoy being in the ergo or moby for more than a few minutes.  I think it's all too constraining for her.  I guess she likes her freedom.

She definitely has personality.  Here are some outtakes.

I love her Zoolander face in the top right pic!
