Molly 6 Month Update

Weight & Height: Molly is 18lbs and 27 inches tall

Eating: Molly is taking 6oz of formula every 4 hours and has rice ceral with fruit for breakfast and then usually some veggie and fruit combination around 3 or 4pm. She also has started real solids and likes bananas and papayas. She also tried eggs this month. She can also pick up her yogurt melts and puffs from the highchair

Sleeping (naps): Molly will usually take about an hour nap in the morning around 8am then will take a longer 2 hour nap in the afternoon around 1. Around 5pm she starts to get a little cranky and will go back down for a 40minute nap and then is up till 7pm when she goes to bed.

Sleeping (at night): Molly is not the best night time sleeper. She goes to bed great at 7pm but then will wake up 2-3times throughout the night. The first time I can usually just put the pacifier back in her mouth but by 4am she wants to get up. She isn’t even hungry I think she is just done sleeping. It is really frustrating and tiring so I am hoping to let her cry it out this week and maybe she will be able to put herself back to sleep on her own, till at least 6!

Clothing: Molly is wearing 9 month old clothes.

New this month:

▪   Molly is starting to move all around. She will go from side to side and push herself backwards. She has also started getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth.

How’s Morgan:

I wanted to add a little something in here about Morgan. Even though I am not doing updates for her I want to remember what she was like at this age. Morgan has a ton of personality and is starting to talk really well. She has some attitude and her favorite snarky things to say include “I don’t care mom” and “No, I am fine!”. She is a typically two year old in that respect but loves playing with her sister and is so kind and loving. Whenever I get dressed or put on make up she always says “Mom you’re so pretty” and she loves to say “That’s amazing!”. Morgan is obsessed with Frozen and dressing up in princess clothes. She loves to sing and has recently learned the songs ABCs, Twinkle twinkle, wheels on the bus and row row row your boat. I absolutely love the person you are turning into Morgan you are so much fun!
