Lila- 6 months

 I put her in this dress my mom saved that I wore as a baby! I kind of love the 80's look with so many ruffles! Also, she looks darling in blue!

A major accomplishment of this last month- sleep training! At 5.5 months I decided to let Lila cry it out. She cried in the middle of the night for about 45 minutes the first night and then was pretty much sleep trained! On a few nights, she woke up and cried for a few minutes and put herself right back to sleep. We also let her sleep in her swaddle with her arms out. She's done amazing! So far, my best sleeper. I still do a dream feed with her around 10:00, but otherwise she sleeps all night and it's the best.

At her doctor's appointment she was 13 lbs 4 oz (6th percentile) and 25 inches (30th percentile) with a 17 inch head (77th percentile). The asked if she was sitting yet- of course she wasn't! She has a tiny little body and a big head- she's quite top heavy! Our doctor wasn't super concerned about her tiny size- especially since she'd grown quite a bit in length. He mentioned that since our other babies have tended to be tiny we might just have tiny babies! He encouraged me to feed her higher calorie solid food so we started adding peanut butter to her mashed banana and full fat greek yogurt to her other fruit purees. I think it's working- she's definitely chunked up a little!

 She spends a lot of time on this blanket in the middle of the kitchen floor. This blanket is super soft and fluffy and I put her there while I do dishes and cook and whatever else. She stays pretty happy as long as I keep talking to her while I work.

Half a year with the sweetest baby girl in the world! I love this beautiful girl so much. She's been the best addition to our family, we are all smitten!
