So Close to Crawling!

Autumn is trying extremely hard to figure out crawling, and she’s nearly there! She gets up on her hands and knees just fine, and gets her legs moving in the right direction, but she just hasn’t quite put it together that she has to move her arms too. As soon as it clicks, there will be no stopping her! 

6 Month Check Up

Autumn got  another clean bill of health at her 6 month check up! She is growing and developing as expected. Dr. Knapp said the first tooth should be popping through any day now! Poor girl got 4 shots, but handled them like a champ! She cried during the shots but calmed down right away as soon as they were done. So proud of her! 

Stats:

Height: 26” (51st percentile)

Weight: 16 lbs 11 oz (59th percentile)

Bald Spot

Just feel the need to document Autumn’s little bald spot before it goes away! With not sleeping exclusively on her back, and her hair continuing to grow thicker and longer it won’t be around much longer. 

6 Months

Little lady is 6 months old today! That’s half a year! What!? How is this possible???

Autumn’s sixth month was another good one. Mama went back to work full time, and Autumn handled the transition like a champ, and has enjoyed hanging out with grandma, Dennis and Ember everyday. She has continued to be just the happiest peanut around, and has been wowing us with how fast she’s learning and growing!

Starting solid foods

Starting Solids

As we did with Ember, we waited as long as we possibly could before starting Autumn on solid foods. So last night, on the eve of her 6 month birthday, we went for it! Baby girl tried herself some oatmeal and absolutely loved it! She seemed to grasp the concept right away and eagerly ate two helpings. She got super excited when she saw the spoon full of oatmeal headed her way. Such a big girl! We’ll stick with oatmeal for this week and then move on to some other foods after that!

Jumper

Autumn is officially a fan of her little jumper! We tried her out in it a week or so ago and she had a blast once she figured out what the deal was.
