Karina 6 months

My little girl has changed so much in the last month. I am so excited to say that she has started sleeping MUCH better. We have had a few days now where she sleeps from bedtime (8ish) till about 3 am. I then go feed her and put her back in her crib and she has slept till about 6 am. This sounds a little like an early riser but for now it is great because I am not waking up every hour and a half like I had for the last 6 months. Woot Woot!!! Lets hope this just continues to get better. So no more little baby next to me anymore. She is in with Julianna and can sleep through Juli's snoring. That is great!

She has also started eating cherrios!! She loves them. She is a little piggy and LOVES to eat. So far she has had sweet potatoes, carrrots, squash, bannanas, bluberries and apples. We have held the cereals for a while because she doesnt seem to like them much but I will introduce them again later. She is drinking 6 oz of breast milk when she drinks from a bottle and chuggs it down.

Karina is also starting to squirm around when she is on the ground. She definitely cannot be left alone anymore. She loves to grab everything also. First thing she goes for when you pick her up is your hair. If you dont have hair, then she will pinch your neck and cheeks. You thinks its cute but it HURTS!

Lastly, Karina LOVES her sisters and they LOVE her. Its amazing to watch the bonds developing. They can play together for hours. They smile and laugh and really enjoy each other's company. Its so cute. Tamara thinks that she is her baby and takes the best care of her. I love seeing that. I hope to nurture those feelings so they continue as they grow.
