Evie will graduate to her big kid carseat soon. We're not ready to give up the bucket seat, but she's almost out grown it!
I asked the pediatrician about Evie having a difficult time with her afternoon nap and bed time, and she said it's probably because she sleeps 10-12 hours at night and because she's not getting held enough during the day now that she doesn't feed as often. She suggested we have purposeful snuggle time in the afternoons and evenings - and to savor it!
She was quite the traveler this month. She did great! We had a few rough patches at night, but given the lack of routine, the new places, and the long car rides we can't complain!
Has a pouty lip so big that a whole flock of birds could land on it.
She definitely takes after me: pensive, shy to new situations, observes the room.
Most of her liquid intake is formula these days. We try to work in 200-400 mL of defrosted breast milk if we can.
When I got sick this month I was on so many prescription drugs that I decided to use that time to ween from pumping. I'm down to once every few days just an ounce or two to get relief. It was more heartbreaking than I ever expected.
I've emotionally replaced pumping by making homemade baby food. My need to create for someone is my love language.
Her day-to-day schedule is pretty much the same as last month, but we've added solids to her post nap routine.
She sleeps through the night 2-3 nights a week. Gets up for a quick feeding 3-4 nights a week. And maybe has one "bad" night a week. By "bad" I mean she's up for an hour or so.

What they say...
"You either get a sleeper or a napper, not both"
"She's totally a little Elizabeth"
"She has Eric's eyes"
"She's only six months?"
"Why are those giraffes like baby crack?"
"Still liking cloth diapers now that she's on formula & solids?"
"Is she always this happy?"

We are...
Finding it hard to believe we have a six month old.
Wondering where we are going to store all the retired baby gear / put the new stuff.
Loving our playgroup and playgroup parents.
Thankful to Anne for teaching us about disposable cloth diaper liners ;-)
Ready for the summer, the pool, and other fun adventures!
