Yum! Feet!

Things are going well here. Giada had her 6-month checkup and she is doing well.  16 ½ lbs. Never cries and sleeps pretty well. Still late to bed but I think that is more our fault. She is big on walks so we get out as much as possible, the weather hasn’t turned too hot here yet. She is not so sure about baths but we try to bathe her every night as part of the going to sleep ritual. She sure is a lot of fun right now, laughing and smiling. She loves her daddy. She is eating sweet potatoes, carrots, peas broccoli, and pears. Very messy but fun.

Poor Giada gets about zero tummy time and not a ton of time just by herself on her back as we are usually holding her. She will be in the pack ‘n’ play for a bit on her back but not enough room there to really roll around too much. I need to get some blankets out for the area by my computer so she can move around on the floor. Giada tasted peas for the first time yesterday and I’m not sure she knew what to make of it. I think we’ll try the squash tomorrow and see what happens.

Giada isn’t rolling over yet but she is rolling to her side. She doesn’t have a lot of time on her back really and less on her stomach. She likes to be held which is hard trying to work from home. We have a pack ‘n’ play set up with a mobile and some toys and a mirror. She will stay in there for like 15 minutes but I think she is getting tired of the mobile.

She also has 2 swings which we have made be more chairs and she will sit in each of those for about 10 minutes. She’s not so excited about the kick gym anymore either. She will sit in the Bumbo (Bumpbo?) with a tray on it and pay for a bit but gets tired. I think she needs to be a little bigger.

We haven’t tried food yet as she did not like the rice in the bottle but we will get to the store for some baby veggies shortly. She is still going to bed at about 11:30 but I think it is our fault as we don’t go to bed ourselves. We are going to try to move her to the upstairs crib and baby room at 6 months April 23^rd. I anticipate a lot of up and down the stairs for me!

She is super cute and laughing though!

We took Giada to Target with Kate’s twins today for pictures and it was exhausting! We got a couple of good shots of Giada, so I am happy.
