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.
