Happy Half Birthday little girl! O how the time has flown
by. Here is what you have been up to during your 6 months of life.
Weight: 18 pounds
Sleepovers: Going along with
sleeping great we also stayed the night at your Grandparents house a few times.
Two nights we stayed at the Jackson’s due to redoing our hardwood floors. We
were not sure if the seal on the floors would smell (which it didn’t) but just
to be safe we did not stay at the house. Another night we stayed at the
Crofford’s due to our furnace going out and I did not want you to get too cold
at night. You did great not sleeping in your own crib or house. It is great
that you are able to adjust and sleep new places.
Bouncer: You LOVE your bouncer.
Your face lights up when you’re in it and you bounce like a crazy when you are in it. Sometimes you
bounce so high and so much that I think you could just bounce right out of it
;)
Eating: You are still taking 6
ounces every 2-3 hours during the day. We ran out of the formula we usually use
(Sam’s brand) and had to use Similac for
a short period. During that time you stopped sleeping through the night so we
think your formula helps you stay full longer. We also had to use the Kroger brand formula but you had a bad reaction to it. It caused you to get red in the face
and spit up a lot. We will make sure we never run out of your formula again!
Rolly Polly: You are rolling both
ways now. You are such a mover. We have to make sure we keep a close eye on you
now because you can just roll away :0
Trick or Treat: You celebrated
your first Halloween. You and Bentley both went as pumpkins. The pumpkin
costume was absolutely precious, whenever you could put your legs up the whole
costume would fold in on itself. We went over to U. Mike and A. Carrie’s to
pass out candy. It was rainy so we did not go house to house like Caleb and
Kendall.
Girls Night: Mommy spent her
first night away from you. I went to Lexington to see Leah try on wedding
dresses. I missed putting you to bed and saying your prayers but I knew you
were having a great time with Daddy.
DIY: Daddy has been working hard
doing lots of projects around the house. He has been busy redoing the hardwood
floors, tiling the kitchen floor, painting the kitchen cabinets and adding a
backsplash. He has had help with the projects which has helped him get done
quicker. You will appreciate how handy Daddy is when you get older.
Precious moments: You fell asleep
in Mommy’s arms a few times. It hadn’t happened in awhile so I thought those
days might be over but I’m so glad it has not ended.
Miss independent: You like
feeding yourself. I’m sad because I loved to feed you at night and rock you.
Firsts this month: Football game and cheer
practice
Little girl we love you so much! You fill our hearts with so much joy they could burst, I never knew becoming a parent would bring this much joy. Your personality is starting to show and you are growing everyday before our eyes. I want to bottle up every little noise you make and don't want to miss one moment since this time will go quick! Love you Ava!
