sleep
Just had to update that not only did she put herself to sleep last night (with no crying), she slept 12 hours straight too! Then she also put herself to sleep today for her nap this morning with absolutely no crying also! My little girl is growing up!

6 month appt.
Olivia had her 6 month check up today and she did great! Her stats:
weight: 16lb 3 oz (67%)
height: 27 inches (89%) TALL girl!!
head: 16 3/4 inches (53%)
She got her shots and cried a little but fell asleep quickly on our way home. We need to start giving her fluoride in her bottle once a day since we don't have it in our water out here. He also said to try starting to water down her formula in the middle of the night feed until it is pure water to have her stop getting used to eating at night like that... she can also start wearing sunscreen when she is outside.
I'm reading through her 6 month info page and apparently it is normal for them to "start waking up at night again." Huh I didn't know this ever stopped! ha ha
Anyway she is doing good, she was rolling all over the place and had her nurse quite impressed! She is in bed now for the night and has put herself to sleep with absolutely no crying when set in her crib WIDE awake for her last nap today and for bed. Hopefully we can continue working on this and she will learn her crib is where she goes to sleep. :)
We videotaped her this afternoon attempting to crawl- she is SO close!! She gets up on all 4 very fast and rocks and even puts one leg forward. It is so cute! She is such a happy girl!!
Well, that was our day, hope yours was good too!

6 months
Well Olivia you are already half a year old! Time is just zipping by. You are still a baby, but I feel like you are such a big girl now and not a baby. Daddy always comments on how long you are and how you look more like a little person and not a baby anymore! I know your 1st birthday will be here before we know it, and you will be running all over the house. Here are some of your 6 month stats:
-You weigh 16 lbs 3 oz according to our scale
-You are wearing size 3 diapers during the day and size 4 at night (to help keep all the wetness in!)
- you are officially in all 6 months clothes. I have been trying to go through your closet and dresser to make room for all your new cute stuff!
-You are literally rolling all over the place. You can turn in circles on your tummy and scoot around to where ever you want to go! You are also getting your tummy and even legs off the floor in attempts of crawling. You actually do a yoga downward dog pose!
-You are getting really good at sitting up. I still like to be close in case you tip over, or at least have the boppy behind you, but I am sure you will master this in no time!
-You are sleeping through the night more often, although most often you get up one time a night.
-You are finally much better at falling asleep while out running errands or in the car and it makes it so nice on us!
- The last couple of days you have put yourself to sleep for naps, which I think is good because those end up being your longest naps!
-You took a trip to Seattle with us last week to surprise grandma Jan and you did great in the car! Not as much sleeping as when you were 2 months old, but I wouldn't expect that of you since you are a big girl now!
-You are taking more like 5-6 oz at every feeding now
-You are starting to eat solids now- some rice cereal in the morning and a fruit or veggie at night! So far you seem to like the fruits and veggies, you just need to get the process of swallowing it down!
-You smile ALL the time and do it so quickly when someone smiles at you. Everyone thinks you are just the prettiest, happiest baby ever!
-We love you so much and can't imagine life without you. You are such a good baby and we are so lucky to be your parents!
-p.s. you have your 6 month check-up on the 5th so we will see what your official weight and length are!
