Lexi 6 Months Old

So, it's finally here.  Lexi's reached that wonderful age of 6 months, where babies finally start to nap on a schedule, eat solid foods, and in general, life just starts to get easier.  In theory right???  No, things are going good. 

She is starting to become a great sleeper, and has actually, for the first time, slept through the night.  It was a one time thing, so, I'm still up once a night to feed her. 

She is still having a little difficulty with eating from a spoon.  She loves those little rice puffs, but hates anything from a spoon.  What's the deal with that?  Formula can't be THAT good! 

And life is actually getting easier in some ways.  She's better at playing with toys and entertaining herself, which gives me tons of time to lounge around and sleep all day...okay,not really.  It does, however, give me more time with Abby and I'm able to stay on top of the house cleaning a bit better.

I am finding it harder to take her out and be away from home during her nap time.  She no longer will easily fall asleep in my arms or in the car seat.  It's "crib or bust" all the way!  I guess it means it's time to start planning my day around her nap schedule.

Some of her recent doin's:
  • Rolling over both ways
  • Loves the Jenny Jump Up
  • and actually, that's about it.  She's only 6 months, can't expect too much I guess
The last bit of info/drama, her measurements from her 6 month well check:
  • Height: 27 inches-90%
  • Weight: 17 lbs 14 oz-75%
  • Head: 18 inches-OFF THE CHART!
The reason her stats are also drama, is cause the Doc is a little concerned with the size of her head.  I guess measuring off the charts is a bit of red flag.  I asked the Doc what was the cause for concern? (a strong possibility of a baby genius? just kidding)  He said is could be a sign that the fluid isn't draining around the brain.  So we are scheduled to go back in couple of weeks to get her head measured.

That's kind of scary about her head! Hopefully everything turns out okay.

Oh man, Lincoln absolutely LOVED his jumper, too! But so sad that she's still not sleeping through the night. My friend's baby still wasn't at 8 months, and I think her doc told her to just let her baby cry it out because you know they don't need to eat. But I don't know if I could do that. It would be hard! Anyway, good luck.
