I can't believe Belle is more than half a year old now! I did the math and she is still only 31 weeks old- saying it in weeks makes her sound like it was just yesterday, and it really does feel like she is still a newborn. It is all going by so fast.
She is finally having a little ridge coming out in her gums, her lower left tooth is coming in! She started on solids last month and is doing great! We introduce a new food every 2 days and so far has had mangoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, bananas, avocado, strawberries, green beans, spinach, peaches and peas. I still use the Beaba that I used with Luna to make our own food and freeze it. It's sooo easy! I also mix in her cereals with the purees to give her some iron. The challenge now is feeding Luna and Belle at the same time, so sometimes I do one at a time, but usually I plop Belle in her Bumbo and Luna in her high chair seat.
She is back and forth on sleep. We had to put her back in the nap nanny when she was congested last week, so she has been sleeping well in it, except when she looses a paci and we have to go back in there and give it to her. She is waking up to eat about 2 times still at night, ugh. They say by 9 months they shouldn't need to eat in the middle of the night, so we'll see how she is in a couple of months. Sigh. The under eye circles are getting ridiculous!
As far as her socially and her play, she is having so much fun with Luna! She is good at entertaining herself too and is the happiest baby ever!! She now only cries when she is tired or hungry. She adores her sister and looks up to her so much. It's so fun to see her expression when Luna walks in the room and so great they can entertain each other. She is such a cutie!!
