6 MONTHS!

Trying out her new stroller from Nonni and Grandpa:


Arden is growing so fast and I can barely keep up! She still eats a lot. At 4 months we started her on cereal and at 5 months, we added food. So far she has tried rice cereal and oatmeal (she prefers oatmeal), sweet potatoes, pears, peas, bananas, carrots and applesauce. Her favorites are peas, sweet potatoes and bananas. She still has 5 bottles a day (7-8oz each-which she usually drinks in 5-10 minutes). So when she wakes up, she has a bottle and sometimes cereal and fruit. Around 9:30 she has another bottle and then takes a nap. Around 1pm she eats a fruit and veggie and a bottle. She usually takes a nap around 3:30-4pm then around 5:30, she gets 2 veggies and a bottle. 7:30ish is bath time then her last bottle and off to bed. She usually wakes up between 6:30-7AM and will play in her crib for 30 minutes. Arden laughs a lot and talks a lot in a high pitched voice that is just adorable. She wears size 12months in most brands except Gymboree she wear 6-12months. Her feet are ticklish and she says 'hey' a lot =). She likes Baby Einstein and loves our cats but is scared of dogs. She met Ashley's dogs last week and was happy with Reagan (she's a toy poodle-Arden probably thought she was a cat) but Reagan wasn't too happy with her since Arden pulled her ear. She was a good sport though. Then Eve (doberman) came up and sniffed Arden and she SCREAMED and started kicking. I guess no big dogs for her.
When we lay Arden on the floor or in her bed, she pretty much rolls right over to her tummy.
She's actually not on her tummy here. I'm shocked!
For a week or two, She seemed to have forgotten how to roll back over to her back because I'd lay her down, she'd roll over on her tummy,play for a few minutes, then she'd start crying until I'd put her on her back. Now, she rolls and scoots everywhere she wants to go. She is trying so hard to crawl. She sticks her bottom in the air and wiggles with no luck...yet.
She looks like a doll in this picture:
Arden has been doing a great job sitting up this past week. I don't even put pillows around her now.
Happy 6 months, Arden!
