WOW! My little girl is already six months old. It is hard to believe that my baby is getting so big - she is growing out of her 3-6 month clothes and she is getting so long! Lauren appears to be long and thin, but that's really not a surprise to me. She is eating really well. She loves to eat peaches, squash, bananas, sweet potatoes, yogurt, and any type of bread (cheerios, puffs, etc).
Today I made some carrots, pears, chicken and some more sweet potatoes, squash, and peaches. I've progressed her food about the same as Will, but at a little quicker pace. I'm hoping that she'll move on to finger foods within the next couple of months. She really wants to eat whatever we're eating. She loves to drink from a cup and she will try to grab your drink from your hands. She absolutely loves ice water!
She has really started to play well. She will spend time on the floor playing with the peek a block wagon, leap frog table, and all of her
miscellaneous toys. I brought up new toys from the basement that she's not quite ready to play with, but I know she'll be hitting the next milestones faster than I think.
She has started to lean forward to grab toys and she's very determined to get things out of her reach. I'm watching her move and I keep thinking that she's going to start
crawling soon. You never know with little ones. They seem ready to do
something and then they'll wait a couple of months before they accomplish it.
Lauren is my sweet natured baby. She is always happy and she is pretty content. She has started some stranger anxiety (or better called the I want my mommy/daddy syndrome). She has the sweetest laugh and she will just sit and giggle at her brother or new puppy. It's very sweet. She seems pretty spunky and full of energy, but her brother has a lot of energy, too! We're used to high energy kids around here.
Will is doing great. He
absolutely loves his new puppy, though he could do without the play biting. I just love it when she follows him around the house or curls up next to him. I really want them to be close, just like Ella. We're getting Will ready for
pre-school. I am very excited about him making friends on his own and I know that he is going to love the stimulation of
pre-school. He doesn't need academics (I don't think they need academics at this age) - he needs the stimulation of his social skills and development. I'm excited about him learning how people work together and how the world functions outside of his home. I hope that I've given him enough preparation to go out into the big scary world of 3 year old
pre-school..... but I really think he'll have a great time.
