Happy 1/2 Birthday!



Well Joanna, I blinked and you're now 6 months old!  How's that even possible?  I want time to slow down, but yet I'm excited for what the next months will bring us.  

You're a petite thing like your sister. You currently weigh around 14 pounds, but will know your definite weight on Dec 1. You're still wearing a size 2 diaper and 3-6 months clothes.

You've had a big month.  You discovered your feet, can push up on your arms during tummy time, took your first stroller ride in the neighborhood and started eating solids.  You like sweet peas and squash. 



 You are still nursing around every 2 hours with the occasional stretches to 3 hours while awake. You do however become very distracted while nursing.  I can't speak at a normal tone or have Vivian dancing/playing around you.  You rather see what's going on vs eating.  Mommy has to go in another room with no distractions which a lot of times is impossible.  

You are the queen of 30 minute naps.  You take 2-3 naps a day and if you miss your 3rd nap, night time sleep is a mess.   You become overtired and wake multiple times a night and sometimes it can take anywhere between 1-2.5 hours to get you back to sleep.  If I can get you to take that 3rd nap, you wake 1-2 times at night.  Your in bed between 6-7 pm and sleep until 6-7:30 am, but lately you are up for the day at 6 am.  I do leave you in your crib close to 6:30 if all possible.  I guess I have two early risers on my hands!






You like Elmo, Sofie the Giraffe and books. Your favorite is 'That's Not My Lamb'

 
Sweet Joanna, you have the most contagious laugh.  Your entire face lights up and those dimples come out.  Truly melts my heart.  Vivian is the best at getting you to laugh.  You both look at one another and the laughter begins.  Music to mommy's ears!!


 You really don't have too many dislikes sweet angel.  You tolerate your car seat, but you don't love it.  I wish you would stay asleep anywhere we go like a lot of babies I  see!  You do get upset if you are awake too long.  You aren't a fan if mommy isn't in the same room as you and there are days you want to be held the majority of the day.  

You have been a true blessing sweet angel.  I love more than you'll ever know sweet girl.
