Sabrina: Six Months

Sabrina was officially six months five days ago. And she's a cutie. This is her signature move pictured above. When she's really excited or tired, she will do this little side flip. (Don't worry, I'm holding her in this picture.) She's still not sitting up. Even in the Boppy, she still falls over pretty fast. It's frustrating for her because she really wants to just sit up and play. She won't stay on her back for more than a few seconds at a time. She rolls right over. As pictured, she also found her feet this month (right after we got to Hawaii on March 19). She smiles at everything and everyone.

We started her on rice cereal on March 28. She ate the whole bowl. Nothing came back out. She just eats and eats and when she's done, she just arches her back away from the spoon. Then she slept like a champion that whole week from 9-9:30 and I fed her at 6:30. It was perfect. Then she got a cough and has coughing attacks at night, poor girl. She now eats sweet potatoes for lunch and rice cereal for dinner. She still nurses, but only for about 10 minutes every four hours. Not sure if that's because of the current cough/cold or because she gets distracted so easily. She still nurses for 30-40 minutes right before bed.

Through a series of rolls, flails, and scoots, Sabrina is capable of movement. In the picture where Sabrina is eating the corner of the kitchen counter, Tom set her about ten feet away and then went to cook in the kitchen and found her there. Funny kid. Tom and I can get her to laugh pretty easily, but Celia is the only one that can get her to whole-heartedly cackle. It's hilarious when those girls start laughing. They can't stop. And Celia is teaching Sabrina to be a baby Princess and let her borrow her princess sunglasses. As you can tell, Sabrina is ready.
