Half a year already! Our little sweetie is getting so big. She is such a happy, healthy little girl. If you've notice she is sure smiling in a lot of her pictures, this is for a couple of reasons. 1. She is just that happy all the time. And 2. She is such a little ham. Its like she sees a camera and instantly is posing and smiling. Hmmm... reminds me of someone I know. :o)
Ava currently weighs 20 lbs, 5 oz. This is an ounce less than at 5 months, which is probably because at 5 months we just weighed her at home so the scales are a bit different. She is still 99% for her weight. Ava's height is 27 1/2 inches, which was down to 96%. We are still wearing 6-9 month clothing, but she will probably be moving on to 9-12 soon. Still wearing size 3 diapers.
At 6 months, Ava can sit up extremely well on her own. She still hasn't rolled over (at least not that we know of). She still loves to be read to and she really loves her toys that play music or have lights. Ava is still a drooling machine, but hasn't cut any teeth yet.
Ava never really adapted to eating the rice cereal, so we pretty much gave up on it. We introduced fruits and vegetables this last month and she loved most of them. We've started mixing rice cereal in her fruits and veggies so that she's getting enough iron. Ava is still taking strictly breast milk. We haven't had to supplement with formula or anything.
After Ava's cold at the beginning of last month, she had a few weeks where she wasn't sleeping the best at night. She's slowly getting back on her schedule. It will be nice when she's consistently sleeping through the night again.
Ava is getting more adjusted to daycare, which is a huge relief. I have some friends whose babies attend the same center so they'll occasionally check up on her for me and they've said they've seen Ava playing with toys, happy as can be. Its definitely nice to hear that from someone who doesn't work there.
