Eryn 6 months
A half year has gone by since Eryn made her way into the world! She seems to be getting bigger every day, I can't believe it! She "talks" a ton and even seems to "sing" in the car! She rolls all over the place, she'll just roll around the room! At story time the other day she rolled clear across the room! She enjoys playing in her saucer trying to put the toys in her mouth. Her favorite toys right now seem to be her apple that hangs from her car seat and her bee toy she got from the Easter Bunny. She still loves to watch Loren and Kaylynn and light up when they come near her! She doesn't quite sit up on her own yet, she will for 30-60 seconds, but then falls backwards or folds herself forward. She seems to like to stand more than sit. She'll also get herself into the crawling position and lunge forward.
We had her 6 month doctor appointment yesterday. She's still growing nicely. She weights 15lbs 6oz (35%), her height is 26.25 inches (65%) and her head circumference is 43.7cm (80%). The doctor said that she has eczema pretty bad. It's all over her body, especially her entire torso, arms, legs...pretty much everywhere but her face. He said to bathe her with Dove soap and put lots and lots of lotion on her along with aquafor. He also said to use hydrocordizone 2x a day on her torso.
Eryn started eating solids last week as well. She stared having rice cereal on 4/11, then had some oatmeal on 4/14, squash on 4/17 and will have sweet potatoes for dinner tonight! She actually seems to be enjoying her new foods...that is when we can get her fingers out of her mouth! She still constantly has her hands in her mouth. Her favorites are the middle two fingers on her left hand. I've been trying to get her to take the binky (since I can then take it away at 2), but she wants nothing to do with that.
Eryn is seriously the happiest baby I have ever seen! She smiles at anyone who will look at her! She only gets upset when she is tired or hungry, but other than that...she'll smile and laugh at anyone and everyone!!
