This one goes at the top of my list: BECKETT IS OFFICIALLY A BOTTLE CHAMP!!!
12 hour road trip to Louisville and she was a saint!
Stayed in Louisville for a whole month. We've had so much fun!
Visited with Trent, Leighton, Garrett & Hank
Met her extended family!
Left for Florida to visit DADDY!!!

Beckett is so funny. When she around people that she knows and recognizes she's so talkative and smiley but when we are in a new environment around new people she is very stoic and takes it all in. She's a curious little one and I love to watch her study people and things!

Clothes & Diapers //
Size 2 Diaper -still don't see that changing any time soon although the straps no longer touch!
6 Month Clothes

This month we switched to Pampers Baby Dry for overnight diapers. Beckett was leaking out of her diapers every single night. So far the baby dry have been amazing. 

Health // 

I was able to start taking Beckett to my gym's child care when she turned 6 months and of course she caught her first cold. Nose Frieda FTW!!

Diet //
Tried peaches, nectarines, avocado, bananas, peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, zucchini, squash, pears, watermelon and so many more and LOVES them all!!!

Now that Beckett takes a bottle I think she prefers a bottle over me which is totally fine- I'm taking her lead on that one. I've been giving her a bottle before bed time now so I can see that she is getting a full belly before bed and it has been amazing! Every single night that we have done that she's not made  peep from 7:00 pm- 7:00 am!

Takes 2 1.5 hour naps and sometimes a 30 min cat nap in the evening

Beckett// 6 Months

Beckett // 6 Months
Weight// 14 lbs 4 oz

Height// 26.75 inches
I feel like her weight was wrong at the doctor. The nurse did it super fast. At home she is 15+ lbs on our scale but oh well! 

**I know these are long posts but I like to document so that I can go back and remember what Beckett was doing at each age!

Six Month Events // 
Ok. So far this is my favorite age! Beckett is developing a little personality, likes and dislikes, is able to stay awake a lot longer BUT she's not on the move yet and she's still my little baby!
I feel like I say this every month but Beckett has really changed SO much this past month. She is so curious and full of expression. A lot of people in the airport commented on how she has so many different expressions. Beckett became a lot more vocal this month too. She LOVES reaching and when she gets excited she kicks her legs and waves her arms like she is splashing in the water. Speaking of water, we took Beckett to the beach this month! We went with Dale's side of the family to Hilton Head! Beckett loved the ocean and she was so good the whole time! I will do an individual post with our beach pictures.

Clothes & Diapers //
Size 2 diapers (don't see that changing any time soon)
6 months 

Health //
Healthy girl!
Started teething this month so she's been super drooly and fussy in the evenings 

Diet //
Breast milk
We started a few solids when she was a couple days shy of her 6 month birthday. We are doing Baby Led Weaning and Beckett is so great at grabbing food and chewing it!
OH! And homegirl decided to start taking bottles this month!! We aren't planning to switch to bottles any time soon but it will give me break when I want or need it! 

Sleep //
oh gosh. where do I even begin?
My amazing sleeper changed at 5 months. Between leap #5 and teething her nighttime sleep has been all over the place. She still sleeps well- goes down at 7 and wakes up at 7 but she's been waking 1-2 times a night and that is not normal for her. When she wakes I nurse her and she goes right back to sleep but I'm really trying to not start that habit!
Takes 2-2 hour naps and sometimes 1 30 min cat nap in the evening.
Started sleeping on her belly.

Beckett you have changed SO much this month! You are no longer a teeny newborn anymore. We have loved watching you learn so many new things and you have grown so much. This month you started laughing, found your toes, started sucking your thumb, and have developed quite the personality! A year ago (April 11th) we found out that you would be joining our family. Those tiny pink lines forever changed our lives and we never could've imagined life would be this amazing with you! We are so blessed with a happy baby!
