Can't Keep Up!
Where have we been...Leyna's 6th month is flying by and it's been full of so many exciting new milestones, we just can't keep up with her! Time for an update. By New Year's she was sitting up by herself, and she quickly learned to maneuver from tummy to sitting up. It was the weirdest thing to see it the first time because I put her down on her tummy, looked away, and next thing I know she's sitting up staring back a me! This week she's successfully started crawling across the room, realizing it's so much easier to get around without using her face to inch her way forward! To our surprise she's also starting to pull herself up to stand. Anything she sees nearby to use as leverage, even if it's your face, she might try to use it! haha. She's still fascinated by anything paper (now including the wallpaper), but has expanded to straps, wires, outlets, remote controls, and other electronics. So definitely time to baby proof and put our glass coffee table with super sharp edges elsewhere...
Aside from trying to keep her in one piece and out of danger when she's on the floor, another thing that's been keeping us busy is her eating habits (and increased diaper duty as well). She did lose some weight going into her 6th month appointment, makes sense considering all her activity combined with not being completely adjusted to solid foods yet. But these days, her two teeth are very much out, and she's doing better at keeping up with 3 meals of baby food a day. Her favorites are peas, green beans, and sweet potato puree....and especially eating bananas and "puffs" (almost like cereal) since she loves to pick them up and feed herself. Thankfully self-feeding keeps her busy and allows me to eat my food in between bites.
We've been trying to capture everything on video clips, but most of the time Leyna's too curious and would rather reach for the camera. If we're successful, we'll be sure to post her in action. We sure wish you could be here to converse with her, hear her laughs and shrieks of joy, chase her across the floor, and see her lil mouth chomp away at food while she also smears it in her hair. haha. So many little things that are huge accomplishments in a baby's world...
