Sleep:
We were given the ok to start sleep training again from our doctor. We decided to take the binky away from her at night, it was rough for about 3 nights but after that she’s done amazing! She’ll normally wake up 1-2 times in the night which I’ll feed her once around 12:30/1, the first time she wakes up. I know people say babies can sleep 11-12 hours straight around 6 months of age but I just know that she’s not getting much from me at the end of the day so since I have to get up to feed or pump anyways I normally just go ahead and feed her. She’s always been really good when she does wake up in the middle of the night where I’ll feed her and she’ll go right back to sleep (unlike her brother who would be up for a hour). She’ll also wake up around 3 and this is when we give her the binky. Not because she probably couldn’t figure it but because we are tired and it’s 3AM, do you blame me! We are also doing a lot better with our naps. She will normally take a cat nap around 7:30, a morning nap around 9:30, and an afternoon nap around 1. Her naps range but normally I can get about an hour out of her. The worst part of sleep training is not having those baby snuggles all night long anymore although there are sometimes I will nap with her just for some snuggles and of course my arm will be dead asleep an hour in! We are still in the Merlin suit and plan on transitions out of it soon but I’m getting spoiled with my sleep and am sure not ready but we have to do it.
Eat:
We started solids after getting the ok from our Doctor and boy is Audrey sure a hoot. We started with green vegetables first and she did not like Peas, I have the cutest little video of her that I have probably watched 500 times. Green beans are ok but she loves Sweet potatoes, butternut squash, peaches, avocados and pears so far. Peas have really been the only food that she has refused but Green beans and bananas are a close second. She is already showing signs of being miss independent anytime I find her she must hold the spoon as well. We are still going strong with breastfeeding and I am so happy! I started stocking up on my breastmilk early on so we are coming to an end with our breastfeeding relationship and although somedays I’m ready more days than not I’m sad that this is coming to an end.
Development:
We can sit up!! We can officially sit up but not for long and we are on the go again. She is just like her brother and would rather be going, going, going rather than be sitting still for too long. She also learned how to blow bubbles and loves to do so when she wakes up at 3 in the morning. We are also officially in the highchair and she loves being part of family dinner.
