Six Months, and Summer
Posted by Jules | Filed under That's Life
Have I mentioned lately how fast time flies?? I can’t believe it’s been 5 months.
Alexia went in for her 6 month check up last month and passed with flying colors. She’s growing normally, responds normally, and is a very happy baby. We’re starting to try to feed her solid foods, but so far she’s not particularly interested, and is still primarily on the boob for her food. We’re trying baby-led weaning… breastfeeding her works perfectly for me, and if that’s what she wants, then that’s what she’ll get, for at least a while longer.
We’ve tried peas, carrots, and apples so far. The only one she didn’t spit out immediately was the apple. This morning, she had a little tiny bit of oatmeal and didn’t seem too horribly opposed to it, but demanded milk shortly after. It’s a process… no need to rush it.
Kailyn went through kindergarten with flying colors, I’m very proud of her. She got bored of summer vacation very quickly, so I’ve got her in a day camp kind of thing that she calls School still. She’s a strange kid. She’s back to reconsidering getting her ears pierced, in spite of the needles involved. It’s so cute, watching her try to weigh the pros and cons. I’m impressed at how capable she is of making informed decisions.. she might be better at it than me!
Scott has started working 10 hours a week, and it’s been really good for him. He’s a little bit of a workaholic, and staying home full time for so long was starting to get to him. He’s not ready to go back full time, though. He likes being home with his girls :)
As for me, I’m doing great! I’ve made some good mom-friends, and settled into a mostly domesticated life much better than I would have thought I could have. Life is good!
