Hi Baby Rose!
It has been a very busy couple of weeks. We went to the doctor on May 9th when you turned 6 months old. You were over 17 pounds! Your stats were: 43 cm head. 25.5 in. Weight 17.5 pds. We met with our new doctor, Dr. Carrie Dell. Unfotunately our neighbor, Dr. Althouse, is moving back to Minden!
Health
You have been coughing again lately. We think it may be allergy this time though. Your dad and I both have allergies.
Food
You are eating solids several times a day now. You do not like green things, like peas or green beans, without fruit in them. We try to do cereal in the morning with your bottle, then solids at lunch and dinner time. We try to do solids 7ish and then a bottle around 8:10. Then you are in bed by 8:30. You go to sleep in your crib now. But, with your coughing again I am always concerned that you will get something stuck in your throat. So I have been bringing you to bed with us when you wake up and cry due to your choking/coughing.
Sleeping
You were sleeping on your own all night until 5:30 or so. You would normally wake up, and need your soothie to make it another hour or so.
Skills
You roll over very well all on your own now. You push up on your arms so that you can see what is going on. You can cover quite a bit of distance rolling. You still stand up on your own legs quite well when someone holds you. You are trying to crawl, but you do not get very far yet. You normally push with your legs and rest on your head. Your little arms need to get a bit stronger!
Personality
You are the sweetest baby. You smile at most people (unless we are trying to take video or a picture of you). The light seems to throw you off :). You enjoy kisses and hugs, and even pat back sometimes now.
I started working with a client a few days a week in Omaha. They offered me a job that I have taken. I will be making quite a bit more money. But, we have to spend a bit more time apart. I have to take you earlier to daycare. I pick you up about the same time though (6:15 or 6:30). I will also be able to work from home (hopefully with you) on Fridays unless we have something going on. I am praying this is the right move for us.
We love you baby Rose!
