It's official, my sweet Pickle is half a year old. I know I sound like a broken record, but where did the time go? I love that she is developing into her own person, but hate the fact that she is no longer a newborn baby curled up and sleeping on my chest. Oh how soon I forgot the craziness of the first few weeks!
The past month has been very busy. Rowan-girl has laughed, developed two bottom teeth and learned to rollover from her back to her front! She has also tried many new foods including: oatmeal, peas, carrots, green beans, butternut squash, yogurt, bananas, apples, pears, black currants, and avocados. Although she loves so many foods, she is not a fan of sweet potatoes. She eats at structured meal times. This includes breakfast at 7:30 am, lunch at 11:30 am and dinner at 6:00pm. She will often have an afternoon snack around 2:30pm. Regardless of how fast I move or how organized I am, when Rowan is hunger, she hates to wait in the highchair. She is not what you would call "patience" at feeding times. What can I say, the girl likes to eat!
Right now, Rowan fits into size 3 diapers and 9 month clothes. In certain lights, her hair is blond, while other is red. Her eyes are blue. She weighs over 16 pounds and measures 26 inches in length.
Pickle continues to love the exersaucer. She also enjoys a rolling over on the floor, chewing on her feet and banging her hands on any surface hard or soft. She enjoys a game Hidey-Peak with blanket and snuggles her stuffed lamb from Daddy. Her attention span is kinda of ridiculous. She loves books whether they are short or long. She has been also been eying up mama's iPhone!
As a mama and daughter, we get along pretty well. Everyday we have something planned. Monday we grocery shop; Tuesdays and Thursdays we go to the gym; Wednesday is Movies for Mommies while Friday is a free day at home. My maternity leave is rushing by so quickly. It helps that my days are packed with many fun things. I can't believe I was once overwhelmed wishing the hours to go by faster. I guess that's the difference between a new mom and one who has some experience under her belt.
Rowan loves when Daddy comes home from work. She always has the biggest smile on her face. Daddy plays "super baby" with Pickle which makes her scream and giggle. Rowan continues to be fascinated by Charlie and loves to pull on his tail and face. Charlie, in return, licks her face and tolerates the tail pulling.
Sweet, sweet Rowan girl - I can't hardly remember life without you. You continue to bring much joy and happiness into our lives. I love who you are and who you are becoming.
Thanks for looking!
Happy Wednesday!
