Londyn is 6 Months Old! HALF A YEAR! Wow, time flies. Londyn turning 6 months old makes me so emotional, I can’t stand how much we love her and how much she has changed everything, in the best way ever. When we were at the doctor for her 6 Month checkup, we saw a newborn baby and I just couldn’t believe how big Londyn looked compared to this newborn. Like what? She was just the newborn (insert ugly cry face). This past month has been the most fun with her, we just watch her play, laugh and make the cutest noises. She is the happiest baby and we just can’t get enough.

Londyn weighs 13lbs 1.5oz and is in the 4th percentile, but is in the 55th percentile for height (going to be tall like daddy??) The doctor says she is growing well and even though she is in the lower percentile she is right on track and is just a little peanut! She is LOVING solids (aka purees baby food). She has tried squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, bananas, & peaches! And she is loving everything she has tried. It has been so fun to have her at the table with us at dinner and feeding her. We are looking forward to introducing more solids and some real foods! Like cheerios!! (My favorite since I was a little kid)

Londyn is sitting by herself! This has been fun because she can sit an play with her toys for so long and it’s fun to watch her. She is loving ALL bath toys (aka rubber duckies). We don’t use them in the bath, we take them everywhere cause she will play with them for so long. She wants everything she can’t have; cell phone, remote, diapers, wipes.. She is a fiesty little thing. She still is obsessed with Duke.  No matter her mood, Duke can make her smile and laugh. It’s the sweetest thing and I know they are going to be besties! Duke does get annoyed sometimes (He was the only child for 5 years) but he is getting so much better with her and is starting to realize she now has food too and he stands right next to her highchair and licks her hands of all the mess she makes.

The best part of the past month… Londyn sleeping through the night!!! We did a little cry it out method and it has worked! She is sleeping around 9-10 hours a night and it is so nice to have her not waking every 3 hours. (As I type this, I’m scared I’m jinxing myself) She usually wakes up around 5am.. sometimes she will push it till 6 but we are wide awake when daddy gets home from work and have a little family time before he heads to bed. It’s been nice. However, the doctor says I need to push her to sleep later than 5am.. So that is the next step.

We had a busy month with little missy and we are very excited the weather is getting nice and we can enjoy summer! We had the best Mother’s Day and spent the day with my mom. It is so special that we get to spend so much time together and her and Londyn can be so close. We have a busy month ahead full of birthdays, showers, our anniversary & lots of family time! Londyn starts swim lessons next week, we are getting her ready for our vacation in July!
