Our Hannah is officially 6 months!! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was holding Hannah for the first time....it's SO hard to believe she's been here 6 months, but then I also don't remember life without her. Crazy!
She had a GREAT check-up...here are her stats:
Weight -18.9lbs - 91st percentile
Height - 25 inches - 25th percentile
The doctor wasn't concerned at all about her weight or height. She's expecting her to have a growth spurt in height any day now, and she said her weight will level off once she starts crawling around, etc.
Eating: She's nursing 5 times a day, eating cereal in the morning and eating a veggie in the evening.
Sleeping: She sleeps 11-12 hours at night. She naps 3 times a day for a total of about 3 hours. The first nap is usually her best nap (lasting 1 1/2 hours). If her first nap isn't long, she usually just makes up for it in her second nap. She sleeps in her crib, in her sleep sack, and on her stomach. I lay her down awake and on her back but she rolls over within 10 seconds of being in her crib.
Other Fun Facts about 6 Month Old Hannah:
-She wants to chew on anything and everything. I feel like she must be teething, but I haven't seen any teeth yet.
-She loves her big sister! Emily can calm her down in seconds. She'll start singing to Hannah and all will be well.
-She will copy us. If we make a noise, she'll make it right back.
-She loves peek-a-boo!
-She enjoys being read to, although she tries to eat the book the whole time you're reading!
-She's sitting up VERY well these days. I sometimes still put a pillow behind her but she doesn't usually fall.
-I sometimes call her "Happy Hannah" because this child is HAPPY. She smiles if you pay her any kind of attention, which is easy b/c I would love to play with her all day. She has the cutest laugh that will make you grin from ear to ear.
-She still has a dimple on the right cheek...A-dorable!
-She has a very specific cry when she's getting sleepy....it's so easy to tell when she's tired....she lets me know it!
-She really enjoys pulling hair.:)
-She has started saying "Mamamamama." I'm not sure if she associates it with me yet, but she's definitely got the sound down....won't be long.:)
-She dislikes loud noises (vacuum cleaner, the noise made while taping up moving boxes, etc.)
-She loves Baby Einstein. This DVD is a miracle worker. If she's fussy and I put this DVD on, she immediately calms down and will watch the whole thing.
-She doesn't usually mind the car, although the drive to Panama City and back was a little far for her taste. She let us know it for the last few hours each way.:)
-She still sucks her thumb to go to sleep, but not usually throughout the day.
-She loves any kind of water....pool, bath, ocean.
-Hannah certainly does cry, but she's generally a very easy going baby.
Happy 1/2 birthday sweet Hannah! You bring so much joy into our lives! We love you so so much!!!
