6 months


Weight: 16lbs 15oz
Height: 26 1/2 inches
Head Circumference: 16 1/2 inches


SOME OF THE THINGS BRINLEY IS DOING:
blows raspberries
giggles a lot
rolls
spins herself in circles while on her tummy
grabs onto everything
puts everything in her mouth
tries to sit up, but hasn't quite mastered it
talks and tells us lots of stories
{whenever she is babbling Hayden always says "sister talking" in an excited voice}
loves splashing in the bath tub
loves it when we talk to her
loves patty cake
loves standing up

Brinley has NO teeth yet. {we're not surprised considering Hayden didn't get his 1st tooth until almost 11 months} She wears mostly 6 month clothes, but still fits into some of her 3-6 month outfits. She wears a size 2 diaper. She loves her rice cereal and has been starting to eat carrots, squash, beans, sweet potatoes and will soon be eating peas too. She gave a nasty look when she had her first bite of carrots but after mixing them with the cereal she was okay with them by the end. She is back to sleeping really well, thank goodness! She goes to bed at about 6 or 6:30 occasionally wakes up around 8 {possibly because her brother isn't the quietest about going to bed} I wrap her up, give her her binky again and turn on the music box and she goes back to sleep and sleeps until sometime in the 5 o'clock hour. Then eats and goes back for another hour or two. She takes one or two short naps in the morning {45 min to an hour} and one long nap in the afternoon. {about 2 hours on a good day} sometimes there are interruptions and sometimes she will take another short one later in the afternoon, but not usually so she is ready for bed come 6 o'clock.
