As I've often said about raising kids, "The days go by slow, but the years go by fast." And it seems that with each kid, the years go by even faster. We took Adalyn in for her 6 month check up. She was 12 lb 15 oz and 25 inches tall. Unfortunately that equates to the 2nd percentile for height and not even on the charts for weight. Her doctor recommended cutting back on nursing and increasing solid foods. It made me quite sad. I really enjoy nursing. So, I am compromising and barely cutting back on nursing in addition to feeding her more solids. She loves rice cereal, oatmeal, mum mums (rice biscuits), macaroni and cheese, pureed broccoli cheese soup, and refried beans. She hasn't liked the peaches or banana baby food.
Adalyn LOVES Will and Rosie. She just loves it when they play with her. Here they are playing in the nest they made on my bed.
Rosie enjoys teaching her things. Yesterday Rosie taught her how to play the princess piano. Today she taught her about dragons by reading from her "Dragon Handbook". Rosie also gives Adalyn a new name each day. Today it was "Macaroni" because she ate macaroni and cheese for lunch. Rosie has also named her Philly, Foofy, Ava, and Lucifer (I think she got that name from the mean cat in Cinderella).
Adalyn loves bathtime. All of my kids loved baths and I'm pretty sure they inherited it from me. Clark teases me because one of my favorite things about staying in a motel is the unlimited hot bath/shower.
She puts everything in her mouth, which is still toothless. She squeals when she's excited. She is such a joy to have in our family.
