Zatanna will officially be 6 months on Friday the fourth of Sept. Her doctors appt is the same day so I am taking off to be there since it is in the afternoon I figure we will celebrate in the morning with some juice and a little 2nd foods (bring on the mixed foods). yum!
She is definitely teething now. still no little teeths have emerged but she drools more than my moms newfoundland and is biting on everything within reach. I can verify because my father in law (Rick Penny) is a dentist and he could feel one hiding in those gums slowly working its way to the surface.
She still doesn't usually get three meals worth of solids except sometimes on the weekends. She normally gets at least one or two a day and Daddy has started giving her a little when he is home but we need more consistency. The solids is probably what I find most difficult about not being at home with her.It is harder to get her into a schedule because if she is already crying for food you usually can't get herto stop for anything except formula. She is always happy to grab for mommy and daddy's food though. I may this week institute a mommy daughter dinner where when I eat so does she . The hardest one to figure out is breakfast. I leave at 8am. She gets up at 7:00-7:30am. Obviously she takes a bottle when she wakes since she hasn't eaten in 8 hours or more. eh, we will work it out. Obviously I am not worried about this hurting her development. She clearly likes food and has had all the 1st foods with no allergies. I just think mashed food has got to be better than formula...:)
Anywho, she reaches for everything now. She can't sit anywhere without grabbing something. She usually ends up just pushing it all on the floor but that is ok. When we go to the store which she loves I usually hold her and hand her the shopping list besides having to pick it up once or twice it keeps her pretty preoccupied with scrunching it up and hitting mommy with it :)
I have put her in front of the mirror pretty regularly since she was born and yesterday she just held the mirror and would giggle at it, make faces and try to hug it. It was pretty cute.
One thing I have learned is no matter how my day has gone getting to watch her learn new things is completely amazing. I laugh so hard sometimes and not just the little haha's that all the adults get but truly carefree having fun laughter. I hope I can try to remember how much we all learn every day and to enjoy it as much as Z enjoys learning new things.
New update Friday/Sat after the doctors appt.
