We have a 6 Month Old!

Adelia (almost 4) Tianna (6.5) and Linaya (6 months)

3 most BEAUTIFUL girls in the whole wide world! 

On the 23rd Linaya turned 6 months old! We finally decided it was time to transition to the crib full-time. We had been putting her to bed there but she wake and hour or 2 later  and spend the rest of the night in my bed......waking every hour or two. She had woken up that often since February and I was VERY tired of it. If I didn't nurse her back to sleep she'd freak out. No binkie, no rocking--NOTHING helped. So, lots of bed sharing for us. But I was SO OVER IT.  

So on the night she turned 6th months we put her in her crib and I refused to bring her back to my bed. She woke up at midnight, 2 am, 3 am. 3:310 am. By 3:10 I fed her in her room. She then woke up at 4:30 and then by 5:00 I brought her to bed for the rest of the night.  and yes, i was completely exhausted! 

Then we took her to 6 month appointment. She was 25 inches long, and weighed 14 lbs.  

He told me to be persistent with the crib stuff and she'd get there.

Well apparently all it took was the doctor to say something because  that night she only woke up at 3 am and 6 am. 

The next night it was only once and it continued like that with her even sleeping THROUGH the whole night more than once. It was like a complete switch! She either just needed to told by the doctor or simply turn 6 months old. 

Either way we are happy to say she is 100% a crib sleeper and she LOVES it. She takes naps great in it now... i just lay her down and she snuggles into her silky/fuzzy blanket and go to sleep. 

 She love love love our little Linaya. She is such a sweet baby. She is super attached to Mommy but has a smile for anyone who makes eye contact. She adores her sisters her daddy. She is great in the car (now) and really enjoys going on walks. Her fav food is mashed bananas (real--not the baby food junk) in oatmeal. She has decided she does not approve of bottles but we are trying to convince her otherwise.  She loves to steal drinks of water from mommy's cup and does quite well with it!
She enjoys baths but REALLY likes to shower. She has delicious fat rolls on her thighs and several chins and the most chubby little cheeks that we just love to kiss and kiss and kiss.
