6 months

Sam turned 6 months old yesterday. At her check-up she weighed in at 19lbs 10 oz, (95%) and 26in (75%). So chunky...I love her rolls! She is such a happy baby, and boy am I grateful! She still just has the two bottom teeth, but I'm sure the top will be here soon.

Right now she is on the perfect schedule for us:

7-7:30 Wakes up

8-Breakfast (Oatmeal mixed with fruit, then nurses)

9-9:30 Nap

10-10:30 Wake Up

11 Nurses

12-12:30 Nap

1-1:30 Wakes Up

2 Lunch (Veggies and Fruit, then nurses)

3:30-4 Nap

4:30 Wakes Up

5 Nurses

7-7:30 Dinner (rice cereal mixed w/veggies)

8-8:30 Nurses to sleep

She gags if I feed her cereal without something mixed in it. She is my first kid to do that. She must really dislike the taste of formula. She still wakes up at night. I've been trying to give her the pacifier when she wakes up and sometimes that will make her go back to sleep. I probably nurse her about three times a night. The pediatrician told me today that at this age they usually start sleeping through the night...that made me laugh. (I think Xavier woke us up about three times last night). Sure, maybe it is our fault for not sticking them in a crib when they are young to scream it out. Do I always have an excuse? According to Santiago yes.

I think she will be crawling within a month. She already can get to whatever she wants with a army crawl/rolling technique. It's time to really start watching what the boys leave on the floor.

She is starting to get stranger anxiety. If someone is holding her she now cries for me. The ladies love to steal her at church, so hopefully that will help her get use to others.

She is such a big girl now, sitting up all on her own. It's nice that I can just sit her down with toys and she can play contently for awhile.

Of course every Sunday we do a photo shoot of her. Pretty girl:)
