Lydia is 6 Months Old!

It's hard to believe our sweet Lydia is already halfway through her first year! She is such a joy in our lives!

At 6 Months Old, Lydia...

• Weighs 14 pounds and 10.5 ounces
• Measures between 26.5 and 27 inches long
• Wears size 2 diapers and 6 - 9 month clothing
• Continues to get steadier sitting up unassisted and wants to be upright all the time!
• Loves playing in her exersaucer and highchair
• Cries like the world is ending if Mommy goes out of sight or leaves the room
• Started eating solid foods! So far she's had bananas and a portion of my grocery list! She likes eating and loves her spoon.
• Makes the ma-ma-ma, puh-puh, and buh-buh sounds. She continues to be super verbal. She's constantly "talking" and does it very loudly!
• Wants to chew on everything and everything goes in her mouth! 
• Doesn't consistently sleep well. There are nights she sleeps until 5 or 6 am, and then other nights where she's up every two hours. The past couple of weeks have been rough. She's also still not a great napper, most of which is still because of her very loud brother! 
• Watches every move Jacob makes. She laughs at him and wants so badly to play with him!
• Smiles ALL the time! Well, almost all the time!

We took the kids to their well-checks (Jacob 3 year and Lydia 6 months) - together. It seemed like a good idea in my head, but didn't play out so well in reality. Lydia did great until her shots, but Jacob was a disaster. Knowing his past record with doctor and dentist visits, I had a feeling he wouldn't cooperate, but I still had high hopes. Even though we left the office sweaty and with two screaming kids, both had good reports! We're so grateful for healthy, most of the time happy, children! 

Jacob found a hiding spot!
