Here are her stats -
Weight: 15lbs 8oz
Length: 26 inches
Head Circumference: 16.5 inches
They said she is proportional and middle of the road on all of her measurements.
She started eating solid foods. I know I said a long time ago she started but I read a bunch of stuff saying to wait until 6 months, and I remembered I waited that long with Avery so I held off. But she is still an eater!
Another big thing - she stopped nursing. She got SUPER constipated - like for DAYS! I was about to have to take her to the doctor. I'm sure her tummy was hurting and she wouldn't nurse but she would devour a bottle. At first I felt liberated because it was getting REALLY hard to nurse her. She is super distractable and would only nurse if we were in her room, door shut, totally quiet. Of course that is hard to do with Avery around and us also not being at home at all times.
It was also hard because they digest breast milk so much faster so she was still waking up twice at night, which left me exhausted. My feelings of liberations soon turned to sadness. I was finished nursing my last baby. And I loved that bonding time with her. After she stopped being constipated I tried for several days to get her to nurse again and she just wouldn't do it. So now I am pumping and doing formula so she is about 50/50 breastmilk and formula.

Her and Avery are still best buds. She loves looking and laughing at Avery.
She seriously grabs EVERYTHING and immediately puts it in her mouth. Her hands are pretty dangerous. Several times she has grabbed my face, nose and chunks of hair.
Since starting her on formula she is only waking up once at night now. Most days she takes a nap at 9am, between 12 and 1, then sometimes a cat nap at 3:30-4. Of course there are still many days when she decides to take 30 minute naps and she has to take them more often. Those days are hard because I feel like I have no break since at least one kid is awake at all times. But I am starting to have days where they are both taking their afternoon nap at the same time and I might have 30 minutes to myself and it's amazing.
I was obsessed with Arden when she was born and still am now!
