Linden Estelle turned six months old today. I can’t believe how fast time is flying. To ensure I remember all these special moments I will be taking a “birthday” picture every month for her first 24 months as well as charting her developments.
Summary of Linden’s development this past month:
- Sings, jabbers and will combines syllables especially when she is watching her daddy play guitar
- Will experience stranger anxiety, and lights up when she sees the faces of her mom, dad, and nanny
- Will pinch things with thumb-finger pincer grasp
- Will bang two items together while holding one item in each hand
- Rolls over while on her front or back
- Will lunge forward and backwards while in a crawling position
- Will pull herself up from a sitting to a standing position
- Is still breastfeeding during the evenings and weekends
- Is a good eater (solids) but is starting to show less and less interest in drinking from a bottle
- Continues to only have two teeth
In the last month Linden has eaten the following organic solids: Apples, Peas, Butternut Squash, Avocado, Banana, Brown Rice Cereal and select items from Ella’s Kitchen.
The Outtakes:
I am a happy baby and I love to smile.
I am super strong.
And very flexible.
My sister loves me,
but I really wish she would stop trying to pick me up.
Don’t you just LOVE the Onesie Linden is wearing? I found them on Etsy. They are made by Watch Me Grow, a wonderful mom owned small business. Help support them by clicking here and liking them on Facebook!
