Height and Weight: 26.25 inches tall and 14 lb 1 oz
Finally my sweet girl's height growth has slowed down. She's still just in the 3rd percentile for height and weight combined but is a little higher than she was last month.
Stella loves being outside. One of our favourite things to do as a family is to go for walks right now. She usually falls asleep with all of the bumps of the sidewalk. It's nice to get some exercise and be able to have a nice adult conversation as well. We took her to the beach for the first time this month and managed to stay there a whole 4 hours. It was wonderful! Stella got a bit fussy so I took her down to the waters edge and she fell asleep to the sound of the water right there in my arms. Such a special mama moment. We brought her little baby pool to the beach (that we got at the dollar store) and filled it with freezing cold lake water. After an hour or so on the hot sand, the three inches of water was toasty warm and ready for our little swimmer. She loved it! Water is a lot more fun now, she splashes away in her bath and even tried to turn her head to the side and drink the bath water. I often bring a blanket to the backyard and just lay her down on it if she's fussy and she is content staring away at the clouds and trees, I get an extra few minutes of peace and quiet if it's windy out.
The last half of this month was spent with Stella being quite fussy. She's always had a hard time from about 5 pm- 6:30 pm since that is her bed time. Now it starts as early as 9:30 am. It makes me so sad not being able to help her to stop crying. She is fighting off her naps and some days doesn't even nap. I wish they could understand how awesome sleep is! Babywearing has saved us some days!
She has started blowing raspberries all the time. It is one of the sweetest things ever! She also reaches for faces and gives the best hugs ever. I can hardly believe she will be 6 months old next month!!
