Height/Weight: Miss Evie Joy is a healthy 19 lbs even and 25 1/4" long! Doctor said she's growing right on track. 90th percentile in weight, 50th in height, and 10th in head size.
Sleep: Praise the Lord sleep is getting better around here! We had concerns that Evie Joy had some breathing problems that were caused by large adenoids, which would be the same issue Elliana had when she was younger. Her breathing is sounding much better, and with that and her sleeping making progress, her Doctor (and I) are not concerned about adenoids at this time.
Eating: Still nursing and going strong!!! The 6 month mark is a great accomplishment and now marking our goal to 6 more months! We have introduced baby food and girlfriend is just not a fan... She does however like food she can chew and gum on, so we are going to try the baby led weaning route. This will be new for us to try but we feel like it's best for Evie Joy and her nutrition to go this way. I'll keep updates and posts on how it goes! She does love puffs, and rice rusks.
Sizes: She's still in 9 month clothes and some 9-12 months. I've become a pro at the roll and tuck with sleeves and pants that are too long for her. She got a new adorable wardrobe for Christmas (thanks to Santa and Grandparents ;) ). We just didn't expect our littlest baby to grow so fast!!
Milestones: She's sitting up on her own, has one tooth that has cut through, feeding herself with chunks and slices of food, trying really hard to get on her knees (I never said she was allowed to do that yet..), but definitely scooting all over the place, very interactive with her toys and people. I just love her baby talk (:
Personality: We are so blessed to have such happy babies! She laughs at mommy and daddy, but mostly at her big sissy. She can always make Evie Joy smile. She is starting to get to that age when she knows I'm leaving she sticks that bottom lip out, and whines a little, but once I walk in the room it's all smiles and giggles! She's also showing her little temper when she wants a toy and just can't quite reach it... uh oh.
(look at them rolls on rolls <3 )
Memorable Moment: My favorite thing that Evie Joy does right now is whenever I start singing to her she gives me the biggest smile. It melts my heart every time and I will always remember this special memory with my girl. (:
(I will never get over the love these 2 girls have for each other)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! We enjoyed celebrating with family and friends, and spending time together! One of my goals for the new year is to blog more. The past couple of months have been busy for us, and trying to set in a new routine for everyone. But I would love to take at least two days a week to share more posts! I hope you all have a blessed Monday!!
