6 Months (June 6, 2013)

This little lady is 6 months old. She weighs 12 1/2 lbs (YAY Lorelei!!). I need to get a length on her. She wears cloth diapers during the day and disposable (size 2) at night. We are officially out of NB clothes. She can still wear some 0-3 month outfits and fits in smaller 3-6 mo clothes.

She's sitting up unassisted and army crawling. She does the all fours pose and rocks back and forth, but has yet to figure out "real" crawling. Sometimes her temper gets the best of her and she just screams in frustration. Poor girl. I'm okay with her remaining immobile ;)

This past week, Miss Lorelei has been sleeping through the night (to bed at 730/745, sleeps a 7-8 hour stretch, nurses around 2am & back to bed until she hears her brother at 545/6 or sometimes she manages to tone him out & sleeps until 7am.!). Not too bad... Mommy needs the rest :) 

Naps range between 45 min up to 3 hours and she takes 2-3 naps a day, depending on the day and all we have going on. She doesn't seem to have an issue with naps on the go - she sleeps in her car seat or falls asleep in daddy's arms or even sitting up in someone's arms sometimes. If she misses a nap or one is cut short due to an outing it doesn't seem to affect her nights and she's generally pretty pleasant. Soooo different than her brother!

Lorelei has been eating solids for a little over a month. She has had banana, oatmeal, Hawaiian sweet potatoes (they are purple), carrots and applesauce. I make all her food. She really loves bananas, but in general she is just a great little eater (unlike her brother!). She makes adorable sound effects while she eats "mmmm" and she often chases the spoon down! We call her our baby bird. She just cannot get enough. I hope her eating habits stay this way. So nice not to "airplane" food or distract a baby to get them to eat.

Lorelei is beautiful inside and out. Always so happy, so loving and sweet. I could just eat her up! We truly love our little Lo Lo and can't imagine our lives without her. My breath of fresh air, my sunshine, my koala baby.

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!
