Jasmine Is 6 Months Old!



My baby girl is half a year old. What?
When did that happen is what i want to know!
She is now up to 16 lbs. 7 oz.
She wears size 6 month clothes and drinks 6 oz. bottles....lots of sixes!
She is able to put herself to sleep with a couple lovie blankets and her pacifier for 3 naps a day and about 11 hours at night.
A far cry from when Vivi was a baby!

Jasmine has changed SO much from when she was a newborn...it hardly seems like the same baby. She is just so pretty and we can't get over her!

This month she has begun to eat whole milk organic yogurt and will be trying some new fruits and veggies. We also added a meal to her day so she now eats oatmeal w/fruit for breakfast, yogurt w/a veggie or fruit for lunch, and brown rice w/a veggie or two for dinner.
She hasn't refused anything we have tried yet, she loves to eat.

And a very exciting milestone is that she is drinking from a sippy cup!
I am all about weaning off the bottle by one years old, so we will spend the next 6 months working the sippy cup with water and sometimes her formula to make an easy transition from bottle to cup completely around 11 months old. That way when I begin to put whole milk in her cup at one year, she will be used to drinking from it!

So far she loves it!

She is adorable. My son will be 6 months on the 30th. I love following your blog. He is also adopted domestically.

Wow! She truly does get prettier every day. Good thing she has two big brothers to look after her as she gets bigger.

Can't help but laugh reading how different her sleep patterns are. I remember praying when she came home that she'd be a good sleeper.
