Hayden: 6 months

What's Happening with Hayden

Weight: 16 lbs., 12 oz. (70%)
Length: 23 3/4 inches (10%)

Milestones: Still not much sleep going on at the Allen house. In fact, I'd say it's gotten worse. Some nights, she wakes up twice every hour. Mommy's exhausted...good thing that girl's a cutie.
Hayden started sitting up all by herself! She's loved sitting in her bumbo seat for a few months now, but this newfound freedom makes her SO happy. It's so nice to let her sit in the bathroom playing with toys while I'm getting ready in the mornings.

She took her first little adventure out in the snow this month. She was less than thrilled...kinda like her mommy. Bring on the sunshine and the beach ;).

After many attempts with the rice cereal, we switched to oatmeal (spiked with a little apple juice), and Hayden liked that much better. We'll venture in to veggies next month.

She's still nursing, but my milk supply has started to dwindle, so we're supplementing a little with formula (gentle) to keep up with her appetite.

Favorite activities: Sitting up all by herself, chewing on her hands/feet, watching her brothers.

Least favorite activities: Being left on the floor for too long, being smothered by her brothers.

Misc. update: Hayden's tummy is SO much better now. We very rarely have to pull out the gas drops anymore. She's still wearing 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Her hair sticks straight up on her head...it's hilarious and really adds to her little personality. It's just at the right length that it will not lay down...so cute!
