Eliya at 6 months!

 
My sweet girl, you are 6 months old!
 
You are such a fun little lady to have around! Time is going by way too quickly!
 
You weigh 16lbs 12 oz (61ist %tile) and 26" long (52nd %tile) you are just slightly longer and lighter then your big brother was at the same age.
You wear size 3 diapers and 6 month and 6-12 month clothing.
You are in size 1 or 2 shoe.
You still let me put those sweet headbands on your head, which surprises many people!
 
You are a BUSY girl! You've had the army crawl down for a few weeks now and this week you are spending more and more time up on your knees! You have also been doing push ups on to your toes! You can also get up to sitting but aren't quite steady enough to let go of one hand. 
 
You are such a happy baby. All it takes is a "hi!" and you have a HUGE smile. You get so excited youjust can't even stand straight you do a sweet little twist! You are very talkative and loud, you yell and squeel and we love it.
 
You ADORE your big brother. He gets the biggest smiles. He's pretty in love with you too!
 
Sleep isn't so great right now. You prefer to sleep in your crib but your still waking several times a night. You go down around 8:30 and your up by 11/12 for your first feed then again around 3/4 and again around 6, and thats often for the day, sometimes I manage to get you back to sleep until 7 or 8.
 
We just started you on solids in the last week. I planned on doing strictly BLW but you seem to really enjoy the cereal and purees I made for you so we will stick with this for a while. You are finally taking a bottle well but have yet ot have formula, just mama milk.
You are a nursing champ, you are still nursing lots, usually mid morning before your nap, again mid afternoon and a few more times in the evenings.
 
You have a little "lovey" that you like to suck and chew on, you get it to sleep and whenever you are fussy or in your car seat.
 
You are the perfect addition to our family. You make us all so proud and happy. I wish you would slow down a bit tho, its makes your mama sad!  We love you princess pants!
