Delaney now has longer periods of awake time during the day. She takes a morning and evening nap, both about an hour long. She sleeps through the night about 9 hours, then back to sleep for 2-3 after a morning feeding.
We just stopped breast feeding. She now takes formula. I was supplementing for a couple weeks, but we just made the switch completely. My original goal was 3 months, and we made it to 6! :) Honestly, I would have loved to keep going.. but work really got in the way. It is hard to have to leave to pump, and since I'm the manager I can't exactly up and leave the crew for 20-30 minutes every few hours. I would be in the back room pumping and get a knock on the door saying "we need you!!" After a few skipped pumping sessions and Delaney getting hungrier, we had to supplement. So, I figured since she was already getting the formula I would forget the hassle and quit.
She can now roll over and also grab her toes! She tolerates tummy time for quite awhile and she extends her arms out and lifts her head and shoulders completely. She is sitting propped, and can sit by herself for a few seconds before toppling over.
She is a drool machine, and loves to suck on her hands. She is now reaching out for faces when you hold her, so you get a nice drooly hand grabbing your face! hahah
We can't get enough of her smile, and she's quite the chatterbox too. She is very observant and watches Collin and also the cats walking around. She likes the sounds of the TV or music in the car, or the mobile in her crib. We are looking forward to taking her swimming for the first time, probably next month. she's so cute in her bathing suit!
