6 Month Update

Judging by how busy things have been lately around here, I better go ahead and do Adalynn's 6 month update right now while I have a few free minutes! I would like to say our little lady is asleep (it's 9:42 pm and she's usually down by 9:00), but that is just not the case tonight. She's entertaining herself with toys in her exersaucer. :)

I would love to share her stats with you, but there is a pretty long story behind why she won't be going to the Dr. for a while... I called a week and a half ago to schedule her 6 month appointment. (I would have just went ahead and scheduled it while I was there for her 4 month, but didn't have my work schedule and it's always rotating.) Get this... the soonest appointment was on December 15th!?! I really had no idea you had to book a checkup so early in advance! Guess I know now! :) So, unfortunately, she will be almost 7 months at her 6 month checkup. Oh well, I'm nothing if not flexible!

Here are a few little fun facts about our precious little girl:

*She is now wearing size 12 month clothes!

*Still nursing well! I've really been struggling to keep my milk supply up. (I'm currently taking 2 different meds so I can keep nursing). This mommy is just not ready to quit yet! I love the special bond we have and would love to make it to 12 months. Fingers crossed that I can keep it up!

*She LOVES her bananas!

*She enjoys watching her Teletubbies DVD.

*She likes to be read to and sang to.

*She usually takes 2 naps a day.

*She loves sitting on daddy's shoulders because she thinks she's big stuff.

*She is wearing size 3 diapers but mommy thinks they are too tight on her legs and could stand 4's.

*Still no teeth! I keep thinking those babies will pop through in the bottom. One of these days they will. I'm really in no hurry for those though! :)

*She is sitting up (wobbly but hey, sitting is sitting.) :)

*She is reaching for EVERYTHING. She wants it ALL!

*She loves her doggy Brinklee, but tends to grab handfuls of her fur and doesn't let go. Brinklee is not quite as amused as Addy is by this.

*Mommy and daddy know how blessed they are to have such a happy, healthy, beautiful little girl. We thank the Lord everyday for her and our family.
