So much progress!!

There has been so much going on that I haven't had time to update the site. 

India had her 6month appointment on Friday, February 20th. She got her shots and weighed in at 16lbs 10.5oz. That puts her in the 60th percentile for weight. She is only 25in long which puts her at 25th percentile for height. She's gonna be short like her mommy.

Other developements:

Other than finding her toes, India has been rolling onto her tummy from her back for a few weeks now and is really good at it. She is learning how to control her hand, arm and leg muscles. She puts her bottle in her mouth but doesn't know to hold it up for milk... I have to help her. She kicks like crazy when I'm trying to change her diaper and she likes to bounce around when she's sitting on our laps.

She'll be crawling very soon! Last night she pushed herself all the way across her blanket three or four times. She's not raising up onto her hands and knees yet, so her tummy is dragging, but she's getting around pretty good already. I recorded some of it but like everything else, once I get the camcorder out she stops doing whatever I'm trying to capture. :( Boo

Mommy and Daddy are doing good and love her so much. It's a joy to be around her and I miss her so much when we're apart. The highlight of my day is walking in to Nana's house and seeing the big smile on her face when she sees me.

Here are some cute pictures of India and her Daddy from the other night...

6 Months Old!

India turned 6 months old yesterday! She also had a big accomplishment - she found her toes!!

India's Got a Cold :(

Everyone around us has gotten the flu. India and I are the only ones that haven't gotten it yet (knock on wood). So last week I had to stay home with her because Nana had the flu and couldn't watch her. On Thursday, India started coughing and was feeling a little warm to me so I went ahead and took her to the doctor. Just so you know, they can't do anything for babies that are under 1year if they get the flu. All you can do is treat the symptoms, which is pretty much just giving tylenol for fever and aches/pains. Made me sad, but the doctor said that if India had the flu that it was too early to tell anyway. So they checked her for everything else and she has a sore throat and cough. Doc said hopefully it's just a cold. So they sent us on our way. But we got to find out how much she weighs!! LOL. She's at 16lbs 9.5oz!

Other updates:

I really loved all the time I got to spend with India last week. She is the happiest baby in the world. Even for not feeling well. She smiles all the time and loves to laugh. I finally mastered giving her medicine with a dropper and not having her spit it all out, and India mastered turning over from her back to her stomach. She's such a pro now that it takes her only a couple of seconds. Yesterday I layed her on her back, turned around to get her toys to put on the floor for her, and when I turned back she was already on her belly. She's also getting really good at sitting up. Still needs some support, but she's getting there. I have a feeling that crawling isn't too far away!!

 

Happy Valentines Day!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day!!

Cutest Baby EVAR!

ok, so I'm a little biased, but she is adorable!

Some Pictures in Tea Time Exersaucer

So my mom got an exersaucer to keep at her house for India. It's the "Tea Time" version. Cute. So far India seems to like it.

Smiles...

It's been a busy month so far. India is still growing like a weed and she has developed a great personality. She's always smiling and laughing. It's so awesome. I look forward to coming home to her smiling face. It really gets me through the day. 

She has been consistently eating Oatmeal cereal for breakfast and Rice cereal for dinner (with a spoon, not a bottle). Soon we'll be able to start her on some veggies. I'll probably wait until after her 6month appointment to do that. We go on February 20th. 

I have some great pictures I need to upload. Coming soon...
