She weighs roughly 15 lbs and continues to grow taller by the second (28in). Since we will not have another official DR. check up until she is 9 months the stats this month are estimates. She did, however have her follow up booster shot this month and she did not shed any tears! This is such a big deal since, in the past, during Dr shot visits she has turned tomato red in the face and burst into uncontrollable tears. Not fun for her or Mommy. I can't stand to see my little one cry...
As far as motoring around, Annabelle still chooses not to participate. (And that is still ok with me!!) She can roll but she doesn't unless it is absolutely necessary and never more than one roll at a time. She is happy to sit and play in one spot. Her favorite is to stand and have us help her walk around the room. Ouchie on my back... but she enjoys it so much, I don't mind! Annabelle has also figured out the bouncer and she is really good at it! If you have never seen a baby bounce up and down with arms and legs flailing about--- you are missing out! It makes me laugh every time.
Some of her favorite toys at the moment are her books....Sesame Street Beginnings and Richard Scary books seem to be the big hits although she will pretty much sit and listen to anything we read to her. This is something I hope she continues to love as I enjoy our reading time. Annabelle also has a new fascination with Elmo. We bought her a cute little plush Elmo with a squeaker and a peek a boo book last weekend. They were a hit! So cute. Other favorite toys include her Mr. Moose and her turtle toy with rattles and shapes.
Now let's talk about the biggest changes in her life...food and drink. Annabelle is well into her solid foods. She has mastered veggies in colors yellow, orange, green and moved onto fruits. She eats solids two times a day and likes pretty much anything that I put in front of her. No complaints. Yea! Hope it keeps up! By the end of this month we are going to try out meats. FUN! Just a side note for future Annabelle---- You can CLEAR A ROOM when you poop now.... whoo it's STINKY! Just remember that I changed all those diapers!
Ok, now onto her liquid meals. Annabelle is now down to 4 liquid feeding sessions. I had originally thought that I would stop nursing her altogether and wean her over to a bottle by 6 months. Well, things change and for sentimental reasons on my side only (Annabelle would be fine taking a bottle) I have finally weaned her down to two nursing sessions at 6:30am and 10:30am and two bottles at 2:30pm and 6:30pm before bed. My goal is to have her completely weaned by mid 8 months and onto using a sippy cup for at least one feeding in the afternoon. YES- that is another skill she is learning but I will talk about that later.
That is all for now... here are pics. Love!
