I forgot to publish a blog for Heidi for 5 months so I am combining both months into this one. There have been so many neat changes for our little lady over the past months and she continues to amaze us with how much she learns and grows. We just love her to pieces.
Heidi at 5 months old weighed 18.5 pounds and was 26.5 inches long. A very solid little girl. She loves to smile, stick out her tongue, and is really started to giggle a lot lately. Especially at Kendall when he comes to sniff or lick her and it is just adorable. She can sit up leaning forward on her hands for a good amount of time. She is great from going from her back to her tummy but for some reason hasn't seem to roll over the other way...which should probably be easier. She is still grabbing onto everything and wants to put everything in her mouth. She has found her toes a lot more this month and even is putting them in her mouth. Her eyes have really started to turn more brown this month...kind of a hazel color which is really pretty. She will probably end up being a brown eyed girl like her mamma. Speaking of that, everyone seems to think she looks like my little twin.
Heidi at 6 months weighs 19.3 pounds and is 27 inches long. She loves to talk. She has really started to use some consonants like ga, ba, and da. Her sitting up has gotten even better and she can sit by herself for long periods of time. She has been rolling over like crazy on her tummy and wants to scoot herself forward. She has got the leg and butt part down but can't seem to figure out the arms. We have started some real foods this month after she was pretty much staring us down as we ate ours. She has tried carrots and butternut squash so far. She didn't like carrots too much but loved the butternut squash. We plan to add some other variety as the month goes on. She has started to sleep in her crib this month and it's definitely been a struggle. We have finally found out that she likes to sleep on her tummy best and that has helped a bit. We are hoping about after two weeks she will go back to her usual of sleeping through the night again....hopefully ;)
Heidi also got baptized this month. It was a very special occasion for her and as usual, she looked her best and behaved like a lady. We are so happy for Heidi to be welcomed into the community of Christ.
