Wren Six Months

Six Month Stats:

Height: 25.5 in (42nd percentile)

Head: 16.5 in (35th percentile)

This month baby girl found her feet and really likes to give them a good chew. She discovered how fun things that make a crinkly sound are, especially the wipes container. She cruises around on her back using her own little backward inchworm method. She sucked hard at sleeping and it was rough. She's definitely getting further away from sleeping through the night rather than closer and it's a serious struggle. She got to try solid some solid foods and handled them all really well aside from the peas. She was definitely not a fan of those. She's getting a little bit of stranger danger but it only seems to surface if she's overtired. I kind of love the way she looks up at me after someone talks to her like, "Are we cool with this one, Mom?" We love little Wren and can't believe a half a year has passed already!

Sawyer loves to play with Wren and they were having a good old time with this mirror. 

First Christmas! (In her accidental Hanukkah jammies. I ordered them on my phone and definitely didn't take a close look at the pattern. Plus they were labeled "Holiday Pajamas". So, don't accuse me of cultural appropriation or something okay? Okay.)

Drums from her brothers.

Definitely getting some stimulation with those lights.

Banana teether from Santa. She looooves it!

Cuddling with Dad.

Wren Five Months

Wren became a little chewing monster this month and gnaws on just about everything; toys, blankets, and, especially, her hands. She gags herself all the time trying to get her whole hand to fit in her mouth for a good chew. She started the month being sooooo close to rolling and then finished it off by constantly rolling from her back to her front. She still doesn't roll the other way because she's pretty anti putting in effort regarding tummy time. She'd rather just bury her face in the carpet and arch her back so that her feet pop up instead of her head. And then when she's tired of that she either turns her head to the side and sweetly waits for us to get her or screams bloody murder until we come get her haha. But zero effort to roll to her back. We moved her out of our room and into her crib this month and it went shockingly well. Wren has become the queen of spit bubbles and it makes us laugh so hard. We love this sweet baby girl and are so glad she's ours.

Well checks!

Got a good sleepy grip on her favorite ball.

Trying to figure out that rolling thing.

I bought this onesie when I only had the boys. No immediate plans for another baby and obviously didn't know if it would be a girl but I HAD to have it just in case. 

And she's totally rocking it.

Showing off her outfit from Grandma Paula and Grandpa Dale.

Rolled over!

So many videos trying to capture her milestones.. she was trying to roll and then stopped to give her head a little rub which means she was tired. I had to keep this video because it's a sweet little self soothing thing that Sawyer used to do too. Loved it then, love it now. 

Another effort for that rolling trick.

Made it!

Those little crossed feet during a nap.

I can't remember why we did this little photo shoot but didn't use it it for her five month pics?? But here's a little highlight reel anyway..
