Here's what Charlotte has been up to this month- lots of big milestones!
- Cut two bottom teeth on October 19. They aren't all the way through but are getting there!
- Loves sitting up on her own. She has perfected this in the last few weeks as well
- Loves to stand and is really strong!
- Sleeping around 10 hours at night, still struggling with naps
- Loves peaches and sweet potatoes. We haven't given her too many other foods since she didn't seem very interested when we first tried.
- Eating 18-24 oz of breast milk at day care when she's there, and nursing about every 2.5-3 hours when we're at home.
- Wearing 6 month pants and 3 month tops. Size 1 shoes!
- Loves being outside in her stroller, and is known to fall asleep while out and about in our neighborhood
- Experimenting with constonants like "B"
We've been thinking about packing up her pack n play and putting it in the attic as it's mostly being used for a changing table. A very LARGE changing table that takes up some prime real estate in our living room! We've been sticking to her activity saucer and mat, as well as general toys now that she is able to sit up on her own.
This past weekend Charlotte started planking and pushing herself up on her knees very lightly. We're thinking we'll have a crawling baby in the next month or so!
As for me, I'm still working on losing the baby weight and regaining my muscle tone. I'm now 2 pounds under my first pre-pregnancy weigh in, but I did lose a few pounds during the first trimester so I'm close to where I was then.
I really need to start focusing on working out and gaining back muscle, but time is of the essence and this little one won't be little for long. I'm trying to balance my mommy guilt and spending time with her in the evenings.
