At her 6th month well child visit Nora was:
Height: 25 inches (50%)
Weight: 14 lbs. 2 oz. (25%)
Head Circumference: 15.75 inches
When we were at the doctor's office he checked Sawyer's weight at 6 months and it was 14 lbs exactly. So both Nora and Sawyer seem to be trending the same on their stats, but they have different percentages because the charts are different for boys vs. girls.

| During our photo shoot this was the look I got most of the time...she is constantly chewing on something |
Nora is:
a sitter (see evidence below :)
a flipper (rolls over)
a spitter (drooler)
a spitter upper, at least 2 times after every feeding, thankfully she smiles through it
a crawler (I'll try to get a video up sometime)
able to go from crawling to sitting up and vice versa (in fact that's how she learned to sit up)
ticklish everywhere especially the neck, under the arms, and her feet
content, she will crawl around and play with different toys for nearly an hour
a wonderful sleeper, she sleeps from 10 pm - 8:00 am, naps from 9:30 - 11:00 am, and naps again from 1 - 4 pm, we are trying to cut out her 7 pm cat nap to see if she will start going to sleep earlier
a tummy sleeper
a smiler, when Kyle and I are having a serious conversation she will undoubtedly be giving me a huge grin and the serious conversation comes to an abrupt end because we can't help but give her attention when she is so darn cute
a grabber, she tries to reach for everything
toothless, the 2 bottom buds are still there but have not yet popped through
a joy!
Nora currently wears size 6 months and she is well on her way to the 6-9 month clothes. She is still in size 2 diapers, but after we finish this box we'll move her to a size 3 (Sawyer stills wears a size 3 :)
Nora still hasn't eaten any food, but this month we'll give food a try. Sawyer started with avocado's and Nora will probably follow suit.
And we'll end with a mommy guilt confession...Nora sustained her first injury this week...she fell off the bed and hit her head. Sawyer and Nora share a bedroom and at night it works perfectly, but at nap time one of them inevitably wakes the other up so we have separated them. Nora always sleeps on our bed with lots of pillows as barriers (the pack'n'play just wasn't comfortable enough). But now that she has started crawling she decided to climb over the pillows which led to her falling off the bed and hitting her head. I heard a loud thud and thought it was Sawyer getting out of bed and then I heard a scream and ran upstairs in a panic. Thankfully her only injury was a bruise above her eye...but Mommy was very traumatized. Needless to say the pack'n'play is now her naptime location and she will just have to get used to the less comfortable sleeping arrangement. Since that incident she has hit her head on at least 3 other things...I forgot how dangerous crawling was...I guess I need to baby proof :)
Such a sweetie! I remember Mackie falling off the changing table once and I caught her right before she hit the ground...she was about 6 months old. She still bumped her head on the dresser and that about did me in. No worries, mama. What a healthy, beautiful girl you have! :)

An idea-- when Pearl was a baby and we had to use a pack n play, I bought a portable crib mattress, it is just about the perfect size for a pack-n-play and made it more comfortable and bed-like ;)
ReplyDeletecute. Gracie loved looking at these. She kept asking is that my Nora. She loves her.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Nora is such a doll. And don't worry, those bumps and bruises are one way they learn... natural consequences (within reason of course). I remember delaying Joy's pictures at young ages since she often had bruises at various color stages. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Kit! I'll have to check into that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement guys! I know bumps and bruises are inevitable, but when they are my fault it doesn't feel very good :) Thankfully she is okay and a tougher girl for it.
Kristen, do you see your g-ma in Nora? She came to mind when I saw the 3rd picture down of her with the flowered shirt and headband and it's a direct down picture. Just wondering if I'm the only one who see gr-grandma in her? I could also see Tami in her in one too. So fun to check up on your blog.
