loulou::6months



























Louisa-Grey Statistics

Age: 6 months
Weight:  16.5 lbs
Length: 29 inches!
Size: 9 months/6-12 months; size 3 diapers
Eyes: dark/bright blue. sparkly. you follow charlottes. around a room!
Hair: longer, light blonde.
Teeth: teething has continued throughout the month. you wear an amber teething necklace; I don’t know if it helps or not. you haven’t been fussy the past few days, so, I think you have had a break.
Nicknames: for some reason, charlottes. tries to insist on calling you “lou-la”.
Sleeping: we may try some sleep training in the coming weeks…
Naps: you have a nap in the morning, in the car if we are going out, and your afternoon nap at the same time as charlottes.
Eating: you had a couple of mummum’s this month, more because you were teething, but, i’m not really pushing you into solids quite yet. i am sure you will sleep more once i do… on a related note, i have worn spit up for months!! you are definitely spitting up MUCH less. however, you blow out your diaper at least once every day :-/.
Movement: on jan 16, you went up on your hands and knees, fully without help! it blew me away. since then, you have progressed to trying to crawl. you are so motivated to move. you rolled off charlottes.’ bed and my bed at least once each. oops.
Milestones: you started talking!
Outings: you are the perfect little tag-a-long for all the outings we go on.
Favorite toys/activities:  you like anything you can put in your mouth. we borrowed an “exersaucer” from the schuberts and you spend some time in there every day, and love it. you also really enjoy riding along in the ergo carrier.
Words/sounds: you are a gabby bebe.! you squeal and chatter away, babbling “dadadada” all the time.
Memorable moments: so many of my favorite memories involve you laughing at charlottes.~ on the hotel bed when coming home from Christmas in ft. mcmurray, cuddling with charlottes. for a few minutes before mommie settles her for naptime [new routine! i love hearing you two on the monitor.], dancing to “my girl” in the kitchen and you giggling at your sister.
a mental image of you i don’t want to forget is the night we left you with a sitter you don’t stay with often… i forgot to mention you sleep on your tummy. when we returned home, your daddy and i were so giddy at finding you on your back in the crib, with your legs straight up in the air. it was the cutest thing ever, as was seeing you awake so pleasantly and smile right at us. this story is just another example of how good-natured you are.
your daddy and i love you soooo much. we love your quirky qualities, and easy going temperament. this will sound a little superficial, but, sometimes you are more like a pet J.
