Lydia is 6 months old!

Oh man... 6 months already! I am about .001 percent sad and 99.999 percent happy to have the last "first 6 months" done with. Lydia becomes more fun every day as she can do more and interact more. I definitely am not the person who will offer to hold a baby at church for someone. I really prefer the older kids. And to think that Lydia is slowly getting to that age makes me happy, not sad.



Weight:21 pounds

Height:26.5 inches I think. She was a little wiggly during measurement at the doctor's office. She is our shortest baby so far. But weight is pretty close to Tanner at this age.

Clothing Size: Lydia is in all 12 month clothes now.

Daily Schedule: Lydia continues taking 3 naps a day. Her night sleeping could definitely improve but I'm not willing to sleep train her. So she gets up a few times a night but goes right back to sleep. Just to surprise me, she will sometimes just wake up once a night. Other times, she'll wake up at 11pm and midnight (and 1am) but then sleep from 1-9am straight. So I figured she'll get there eventually.

Special Outings: The only time she went in her carseat this month was a sick appointment at the doctor. She got a terrible yeast infection so we ventured out for that. Thankfully, Lydia still tolerates the carseat really well despite not going in it very often. Plus, this way we don't need to get another convertible car seat for her.

Firsts: She rolls over very well both ways now. She is very close to sitting independently. She can do it for a few moments until she loses her balance.

Eating: Well, we went one step forward and two steps back in this area. We started Lydia on solids to help her reflux. But then she seemed to have an adverse reaction to something we fed her, which led to the terrible diaper and yeast infection. The diaper rash got infected so it took a while to clear up. So we had to take her off everything until that cleared. Now I am slowly introducing foods back. She likes solids and really shows interest in them. It was rough for her to not be able to munch at our food.

Sibling love: Lydia loves her big siblings. She laughs at just about everything they do. Tanner loves to tickle her and Gemma enjoys dancing with her.
