Lena: 6 Months

I’m half a year old already!  I turned six months old on March 25, 2016, and I now weigh 18 pounds.  I’m 26.25 inches long and I have a head circumference of 18.25 inches.

A lot has happened this month.  I moved to my own room on March 12, 2016, which is the same night Mommy and Daddy decided to sleep train me.  I cried for fifteen minutes before falling asleep the first night, five minutes the second night, and now I’m able to self soothe.  Everyone is so much happier in our house!  I do need to rub my “Miss Els” mini blankies on my face to fall asleep, though, and brother Jack has graciously gifted them all  to me for this purpose.

I’m also getting more proficient at eating solid food.  To-date I’ve tried apple sauce, sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas.  I got the go-ahead from the doctor to try yogurt tonight, and I’m looking forward to it!  I’ve been having about two oz of solids twice a day, but I’m ready to go up to three times now.

Current likes: Miss Els, grabbing faces, and squealing

Current dislikes: When mommy walks away from me
