One Half

Happy 1/2 Birthday to our sweet Ada Bear! You are full of smiles and full of fun. We can't believe how fast you are growing and learning.
From Ada's Monthly Pics


Measurements: 16 lbs 12 oz (75%), 27 1/2 in (95%), and a great pair of thighs!!!
Eats: Nurses 5 or 6 times a day and once (or twice!) a night. Takes 3 bottles when Mom's at work. We started "solids" (once a day) a couple weeks ago. So far Ada's tried "baby oatmeal", avocado, and bananas. The banana was definitely her fav! The she could take or leave the oatmeal and avocado, but was so excited, reaching out and waving her hands when Daddy first gave her some 'nanas!
Sleeps: Ada sleeps in her crib in our room. She goes down awake, unswaddled, with or without a pacifier. She goes to bed around 7 and wakes up around 6 or 7. Not much consistency at night yet. Usually only waking up once a night to eat. (I use the term "usually" very loosely.)
Naps: Typically still takes 3 naps a day; morning, afternoon, and a short evening nap. We started to skip the evening nap when we can, but she usually still likes a 30 minute snooze around dinner time.
Clothes: Mostly 9 month size, and mostly wears Ruby's hand-me-downs.
Diapers: Cloth (middle size) at home and disposable (size 3) at night and daycare. (I swear Ruby just moved from size 3 to 4...how can Ada already wear size 3?)
Milestones: Can sit up unassisted for short periods, but still kinda tippy. Wants to "stand" and loves to jump! We started putting her in the jumper and I think she'd jump in there for hours! Likes to keep her eye on Ruby and Monte, wants to play with them in the worst way!
Personality: Always happy, always smiling! Wants to be included in everything and see what's going on. Doesn't like to be left in a room alone (but who does?!) Goes with the flow, and is happy to do whatever we decide to do.

Like I said, she's still pretty tippy.
