Autumn Rose is six months old! Can you believe that? I can hardly believe it. It seams like it was just December 17, 2008. That date sticks out in my mind like the girl who slept on the pea, or whatever that story was about. Anyway, can you tell that I need more sleep? Back to December 17th. I went to the doctor that day and had a terrible visit. I did not really "click" with my doctor and specially that day. I guess the hormones were kicking in big time and I yelled at him and got in a very bad mood. After the doctors appointment I was driving to work and got pulled over and got a ticket. Ahhh......the poor girls at work had to deal with this stinky rotten attitude until I had Autumn Rose on January 13, 2009. I never did get out of that stinky rotten mood until after the hormones settled down until after I had Lil*Monkey This week we had our six month check up. Autumn now weighs in at 21lb 3oz. and is 27in. long. She is up to speed on her developments (especially her eating :) and is doing just great. She is rolling all over the floor and loves to carry on a conversation with who ever will listen to her. She gets around from room to room with rolling so I cannot even began to grasp what she will be like once she is crawling and then walking. Oh my what fun we will have! The other night I packed up her 3-6 month clothes and her 6-9 months clothes and pulled out the 12 month clothes. I'm hoping that she will be in 12 month clothes for more then three weeks. I'm going to go broke if she keeps growing at this pace! I guess she is trying to tell me something. She it total girl and she does not want to wear a outfit more then once! My little fashion bug. After cutting teeth since Autumn was four weeks old she is now proud to show off one pearly white tooth. It is only peeping thru but its there! It came thru on the day that she turned six months. Another day that I will not forget! Thus far we have only had one accident. I left Autumn on the sofa with the foot stool pushed up along the side of the couch just in case she rolled then it would be there for her to roll on. Well, she rolled off both the sofa and the foot stool. Thankfully our Husky, Gavin, got the brunt end of the whole deal. Autumn fell right on top of him and then slid off of him into the floor. No damaged done to Autumn but Gavin was a bit miffed by the whole event. Nights are still a bit of a challenge for me. Autumn is still not sleeping thru the night and it wears me down a bit with getting up in the middle of the night a few times and then trying to get out the door and to work by 7:30 a.m. Side note--Whoever thinks that "Banking Hours" are good, talk to me later. We have the crib up and ready to be slept in and that has helped with the nights. First couple of nights that Autumn slept in the crib and room by herself I think it syked her out a bit. She was not to happy. She has adjusted pretty good though for it only being a week. As I'm typing she is upstairs boooooooing her eyes out because she is SO tired and does not want to sleep. But other then the first, second and right now, the nights have been SO much better. I'm thankful for Freecycle. Autumn has started eating solid foods and she is not sure if she likes this whole deal or not. She loves sweet potatoes and peaches. They are her two favorites right now. We are counting down the days and we have five working days left. I am going to be staying home as of July 25th. We are so happy about this!!! I know that I am any way and Autumn, well, she will thank me later :) |
