Half Way to One!
Half way to the BIG birthday!! Six months is such a milestone and comes with so many emotions. The days are flying by and I am trying my best to grab onto each one and soak her up because we only have a few more months of her as a baby before heading into toddler territory.
Mairin is still such a happy, lovey baby. She lights up when she sees Nolan and Quinn and flashes her big smile all day long. We get so many comments from friends and family about how "content" she is. That is a great word for her: content. She is just happy to play, happy to be around people, happy to eat, happy to cuddle. Just happy.
She has been drinking her bottles and also eating baby food this month. Her first real food was green beans and we have been introducing new foods each week. The only food she hasn't particularly cared for is kale. Otherwise, she gobbles it up. Her favorite food combo is the pears with blueberries. I have handed her some "puffs" recently but she just plays with them and isn't too interested in eating them yet. Same with her water in the sippy cup. She chews on it and will get a tiny bit of water out if you hold it for her but that's where her interest in a cup ends.
Mairin sleeps roughly 8pm-8am and takes two naps. The first one starts by 10:00 and the second one around 2:00. The length of the nap isn't consistent but it seems to be around 1.5 hours each. Mairin moved into her own room this month which has proven to be a difficult transition but we are making progress and she is officially in her crib and out of the swaddle. I would bet it won't be too much longer before she has the hang of it.
Her favorite actives are playing in her activity table, jumping in her jumparoo, watching Nolan and Quinn, watching Little Baby Bum, chewing on Sophie and her octopus, being around people, and taking baths. It's hard to think of too many things that she doesn't like (other than kale). The car isn't always her favorite place to be but honestly, other than that, she enjoys pretty much everything. It's crazy.
Wiggle worm is another good nickname for this child. She is constantly moving! It's no surprise with two older siblings to keep up. She's either flapping her arms, tickling you with her crazy hands, rolling, or getting up on her knees and rocking as she prepares to crawl. The doctor said that they look for babies to crawl by 9 months so Mairin is ahead of the curve and will be mobile in no time. Probably means we will have an early walker too. Yikes!
So much fun playing with the paper and talking to the baby in the mirror before the terror of three shots and an actual doctor sunk in.
Had to try it sitting instead.
18 pounds, 1 ounce (76th percentile), 26.5 inches (60th percentile) and a 94th percentile head. She's growing like a weed!
Only six more month of baby Mairin before she celebrates her 1st birthday. Love you, sweet girl.

Trying to jump out of the scale.
