Amelia is 6 months old now! It’s hard to believe. She seems to be growing so much these days, but we’ll find that out for sure tomorrow! She can now sit on her own for a pretty extended period of time. She attempts to crawl, and can ALMOST put herself into the crawling position from sitting. She is very into the world around her…she is very focused and just likes to take everything in. She thinks Olivia is the best, most entertaining thing in the world (oh, how I wish Olivia felt the same way). She is quite the inch work these days…she’ll lay on her tummy, prop herself up on one side, then kind of “throw” herself down, moving forward slightly, then repeat it over and over until she gets to her desired location. She is able to hold on to her toys very well these days. We’ll be starting her on solids this weekend, which I’m pretty nervous about. She is still 100% exclusively breastfed, so it makes me kind of sad to know that she’ll no longer be relying on me ALL the time. And, now I have to hope the addition of food doesn’t affect my supply! She seems to be doing much better these days, attitude wise as well. She still seems to have a pretty strong stranger anxiety, but she seems much happier all around, and much easier to handle. I’m thinking when she finishes her current box of probiotics, we might take her off and see if her reflux is any better without it. We’ll still have to talk about that more though.
Today we didn’t do too much. Just the usual work, exercise, dinner, play, bed. I’m getting really anxious to do our taxes, but of course, we haven’t received our house statement from the bank yet. So annoying. Christian and I were so tired and ready to pass out, but there is a new show on A&E, Beyond Scared Straight, and we couldn’t pull ourselves away. This show basically takes all of these horrible, bad teenagers to a hardcore prison, and has the prisons talk to them and “scare them straight”. It’s very intense, and it makes me cry. You just never know what path your kids are going to go down, and that scares me! I need to NOT watch shows like that!
