6 month doctor report

August 3, 2015

Last week I took Samantha for her 6 month check-up. She got an A+ all around!  Happy and waiting to see Dr. Walley…

Her stats: height 26.5 inches (75th to 95th%), weight 16 lbs, 12 oz (75th to 95th %) and head circumference 16 3/4 (50 to 75th %). That means she grew a full inch and gained a whole pound in only 1 month!

Compared to her brothers at 6 months: Maxwell was 26 and something inches long and 15 lbs, 13 oz. I’m a little surprised that Samantha is a full pound heavier than Maxwell was at this age. Spencer was 27.5 inches long and 18 lbs, 3 oz. (!) All healthy babies!

Samantha wasn’t too happy when I had to hand her over to Nurse Shelly to get weighed, but then she finally came back around and was pretty pleasant for Dr. Walley.

We’re always thankful for good doctor reports! I sure do love all 16 lbs, 12 oz of this chunky little baby!

In other news, that night we gave Samantha baby food for the first time. She had some bananas and liked them…sort of.

She’s growing up a little more every day!

6 months old!

July 31, 2015

My sweet baby girl is 6 months old! Half a year…we made it. She’s squeezable, lovable, and basically a dream come true every single day.

Maxwell at 6 months…

and Spencer at 6 months…

She’s still about the same size as Maxwell was at 6 months. I think she still looks more like Maxwell but she’s got some Spencey in her too! She’s a happy, happy baby and smiles with her entire mouth. I mean…she opens her entire mouth as wide as she can when she’s smiling. It’s precious!

She’s a great sleeper during the day. She naps at 9:00 and around 1:00 and sometimes still gets a 3rd nap in the afternoon. She loves to sleep on her belly and has several lovies and pacis all around her! All pink of course!  🙂  Night time sleep is…getting there. She’s still getting up once a night. Although, last night she did sleep all night – 7:00pm to 6:30am! But, I think that might have more to do with the 6 months shots she got and the Tylenol I gave her before bed! I know I likely just need to let her cry when she wakes up at night but it’s easier to just go in and feed her and get her quickly back to sleep. We’ll get there eventually. Right, Samantha?

Ha, right.

She’s still nursing 5 times a day and then again in the middle of the night. We actually gave her a little bit of baby food for the first time yesterday. Bananas! She liked them but was more interested in the playing with the spoon than eating the food.

She’s now a master at sitting up. Pretty much any toy she can get her hands on goes straight in her mouth and she still loves playing with her feet for sure!

She’s got the most kissable, chubby cheeks and a sweet little mouth and I can’t keep from squeezing and kissing on her every time I pick her up!

on her own

July 30, 2015

As you saw yesterday, Samantha wanted nothing to do with the pictures with her brothers. But, once they left, my little diva decided she’d be ok with a few photos by herself.

She was still giving me a little attitude and some serious faces but that was ok. Serious faces capture the awesomeness of her cheeks!

samantha

Those cheeks are the most kissable.

She finally did give in and cracked a little smile for me…

You lose some

July 29, 2015

Two weeks or so ago, the boys were dressed for church and Samantha actually woke up from her nap a little early so I decided to throw a cute dress on her and try for some pictures of the 3. Try being the operative word there. The boys were actually pretty willing participants but Baby Mantha just wasn’t having it.

Her brothers were smiling from ear to ear but she wasn’t happy at all.

Major grumpus.

I tried moving them to a different spot to see if that would help…

But she still just wasn’t feeling it…

Oh well, you win some, you lose some!

At least her outfit was cute!  😉

Sitting up!

July 28, 2015

As I mentioned yesterday, sweet Samantha is doing so good sitting up on her own!

Momma, look! I’m up! I’m sitting up!

Can you believe I can hold myself up even with these heavy, chubby cheeks?!

sitting

Whoa….

sitting

Whoooooa….

sitting

And I’m still up! yes!

sitting

Whooosh!

Whoa, what was that?!

sitting

Momma, did you see that?!

But, hey, I’m STILL sitting up!

sitting

Go me!

sitting

Uh oh, here he comes back again. Move brother! I’m trying to sit up!

sitting

Now I’m surrounded. Guess I better get used to this!

Phew, this sitting up business is exhausting. I gotta take a rest.
