6 Month Old Becca

March 5 - note the sucked in lower lip, a classic pose

Becca is 6 months old ... well, almost 7 months months old. 

• She weighs 17 lbs and some odd oz. (75th percentile)
• Plays well on her tummy. 
• Pushes herself backwards.
• Can hold herself in a great plank pose on her toes for almost 30 seconds.
• Does not like "real" food so is still exclusively breast feeding.
• She can sit up for a few seconds by herself and can sit up on your lap indefinitely.

•  She will hang out in her exersaucer for long periods of time - sweet.
• She is still waking up during the night - not sweet.
• Three recent ear infections plus 6 month shots equaled waking up every two hours for quite a few weeks, but we seem to be back to every 3-4 hours, knock on wood.
• She had 36 hours of fever after her shots - she is the only one who has had a bad reaction to shots.
• She love to smile and will smile at everyone.

• She went with me to QuiltCon in February and was sooo well behaved - her late bedtime 10-11 pm was handy for once.
• Everyone gushed all over her at the conference.
• I also noticed at the conference that she recognized her name.
• She is now going to bed at a better 8 pm time.
• She is starting to like Daddy better than Mom - it always hits at around 6 months.  I figure it is because Brian will carry them around everywhere and I don't do that.

  

 

•  She is less drool-y now than she was at 5 months.
• Her plugged tear duct is also less goop-y.
• Don't you love that dimple?
• She has developed a nasty habit of opening and closing her hands as she nurses - ie she scratches my arms and breasts up with her sharp little fingernails if I am not careful.  Too much info?  :)
• Her sisters love playing with her and she puts up with them hauling her around well.
• She is napping less often.  For awhile she was only taking two half hour naps during the day, but now she is taking longer naps again - maybe it was the ear infections?
• Her favorite toys are the girls small play cups.  She loves to chew on them until they roll away.
