Well technically Averie is closer to 7 months than 6 months as I write this, but I wanted to write down some things that are going on in our world.
At her 6 month check up these were her stats:
Stats: 25.25 inches, 15.1 lbs, 16.54 inch head circumference
At that time the doctor told us we could start her on solids. So far this is what we have tried:
Sweet Potatoes, Avocados, Bananas, Mangoes, Peas, & Pears - Rice Cereal and Oatmeal
Averie is not so fond of the cereal, but she loves all food so far!
I have been making all of her food so far because it really is pretty easy.I ordered
The Best Homemade Baby Food on the Planet and the
Mumi and Bubi solids starter kit and it has been working great. I already have a good supply in the freezer. Honestly, when you compare the price of baby food to some of the things you can buy to make baby food, it is almost a no brainer. A bag of frozen peas for $1 that will last probably 5-6 feedings compared to $1 for baby food that will last 1 possibly 2 days.
Averie loves books.
Toes, Ears, & Nose is her favorite book right now. It is a lift-the-flap book and at the end we play peek-a-boo with the last picture. It makes her laugh all the time. We have done it so much that she is waiting for it when we get to that page and smiles.
Since she was about 5 months, Averie has been pulling her arms out of her shirt and tucking her head when we undress her. It was so funny all of a sudden one day I was taking off her onesie and she tucked her head to take the onesie off over her head. I thought this was the neatest thing ever. She just got used to us taking her clothes of the same way all the time that she knew exactly what to do. We smile every day she does this because it is so cute to watch. Makes us feel like proud parents that she is learning and catching on to things.
Well this little girl is absolutely the love of our life and we could not be happier. Who knew something so tiny could capture so much of our love.
