Growing // Since I don’t really do well-checks these days (blame it on COVID craziness and pushy v a x policies), I really have no idea how much you weigh. Probably 19-20 pounds. You are good and chunky, just like all your sisters have been. I recently transitioned you into 12-month clothing and size 4 diapers.
Eating // We introduced you to solids (sweet potatoes!) a few weeks before you turned six months. You loved them. We have quickly moved to feeding you solids at least twice a day. We usually give you baby oatmeal in the morning and some veggies in the evening. You also like to sit in your little booster and eat puffs. My guess right now is that you’re a lefty.
Doing // You are now sitting up with ease. You love eating and bathtime. We have ditched the infant tub and now just let you lie on your back in shallow water to kick and play. You enjoyed our swimming pool for the last month or two of summer, but now the water is getting cold. You love to laugh and we are trying to teach you, “How big is Diletta? So big!” with arms up. You think it’s hilarious. You’ve started to flap your arms when I scoop in to pick you up. I can’t wait for you to actually reach for me. Your hand coordination is growing. You are reaching for toys and food, and you like to hold your own spoon. You are starting to take consistent naps morning, afternoon, and around dinner time, but you can also still be wildly inconsistent to keep me on my toes!
Loving // Hanging out with dad, toys that crunch or make other fun noises, sucking your thumb
