Six month stats (P)

Presley is six months old!

Oh no. This is where time starts flying. These last 6 months have flown, and they're only going to go quicker from here. Our little sweet P turned 6 months old last Sunday (11/15). I'm over a week late in posting! AH! I hate to say it, but I blame it on the holidays. 

Here's what our sweet P has been up to:

- She kinda rolls. She can roll from her back to her stomach, but that's it. And even at that, she's pretty lazy about it. She just don't care. 

- No teeth. Super drooly, but no teeth. 

- Tries to look around at everyone while being changed; Especially her big sister.

- She sleeps in the nursery now & does great! I feel selfish for wanting to keep her in our room longer. Her & Jovi do really well at keeping each other company. 

- Holds her feet when being changed, making it nearly impossible to change the kid. 

- Eats anything. She thinks all things are food. Seriously. 

- Speaking of food, she eats rice cereal like a champ, and we just recently started on veggies. Girl can't get enough!

- She is the noisiest eater ever & slurps so so so loud.

- Eats 6 ounces every 3 hours.

- Can sit up if propped up against the corner of the couch, but no so much when it comes to sitting on her own on the floor. 

- Loves trying to sit up. Like, if I put her in her car seat, she'll try to sit up & pull herself up. 

- Still loves her Mamaroo swing, but is getting quite long and wide for it. 

- Has so many wrinkles on her nakey baby back. She looks like a puppy dog! In fact, she has this fat roll right above her bum crack and it's the cutest.

- She thinks momma's funny. She thinks dadda's funny too, but mainly momma. (At least someone does).

- She's pretty lazy. Actually, I'd say more content than lazy.

- She weighs 17 lbs. 9.5 oz (74th percentile), is 26 inches long (50th percentile), and has a head that's 42.7 cm (61st percentile). She's doing great!

Five month stats (P)

Presley is five months old!

Here's what she's up to:

- She growls when wants to be heard.
- Has discovered her voice & won't let us forget it. 
- Loves the Bumbo now, but just like with all things (in moderation). 
- Still loves kisses. I swear, she'll never get sick of them (I hope).
- Is consistently eating 6 ounces every 3 hours on the dot.
- Does the funniest thing… She takes a nap @7pm (an hour before her bed time). It's the weirdest thing!
- Loves (and I mean LOVES) her big sister, Jovi. 
- REALLY likes kicking in the bath tub. 
- Still sleeps in our room (mainly because I'm not ready to move her to the nursery, and because we haven't moved Jovi to a big girl bed).
- Sleeps real well (from 8pm-7am) every day. Not a light sleeper either. 
- Sucks in her bottom lip ever so cute, when talking. 
- Likes laying on the living room floor, watching movies. 
- Holds onto more toys, rattles, and teething rings now. (Seriously, her pack & play is FILLED w/those). 
- She doesn't really do much. I haven't decided if she's a lazy baby, or a content baby. 
- She has to have the blanket pulled up by her face, whenever she sleeps. It's so sweet. 
- Likes her stroller & being pushed in it for walks. 
- Isn't fond of the sun. 
- And can put herself to sleep, if she has her pacifier in her mouth.

Four month stats (P)

Presley is four months old!

Miss P turned four months old yesterday (Tuesday, 09/15). Here's her latest & greatest:

- She coos and laughs. Just a little bit, but it's the sweetest little noise.

- Has rolls on her thighs (but what's new), and is getting wrist rolls!

- Loves to suck on her hands, and anyone else's for that manner.

- Wants to roll over; Especially while on the floor, watching TV

- Enjoys the Mamaroo swing & kicks and kicks her feet. She really gets going if you move the swing right in front of the TV (this girl is a future couch potato).

- Has some stellar burps!

- Isn't too fond of the Bumbo. I imagine it has something to do w/the reflux? Too much pressure on the tummy maybe?

- Really likes bath time. Maybe it has something to do w/the fact that we put her in the ACTUAL bath tub now, and not her infant bath anymore.

- She really likes kisses. And I mean a lot. Like, doesn't mind at all.

- Has to be snuggled before going to bed for the night. Day time naps are okay, but I guess the evening time is just too long for her to be away from me. And I'm okay w/that.

- Loves snuggles. Still.

- Can usually fall asleep on her own (during day time naps), but pulls the blanket up over her face.

- Is more interactive w/Jovi now.

- Holds onto rattles and toys.

- Loves when people come over to her & pay attention to her sweet little face. Seriously, she gets so giddy & the biggest smile on her face & squeals.

- Eats 6 ounces every 2 1/2-3 hrs. but could probably drink a little more and be okay w/it.
- And she weighs 14 pounds 3.5 ounces (44th percentile), is 25 inches long (64th percentile), and has a head that is in the 60th percentile (41.2 cm). Doctor said she's super strong & holds her head up well, and is growing progressively, just as she should be. 

Utah State Fair

Last night we took the girls to the Utah State Fair in Salt Lake City.

I had so much fun! Probably more fun than Jovi!

It was so neat watching how excited she got over EVERYTHING. And I mean EVERYTHING.

She loved the animals, music, lights, and people.

Presley was real calm in the stroller, the majority of the time.

She probably thought the lights were mesmerizing & was on scensory overload.

Either way, we enjoyed fair food & walking around.

Most of these pictures are from looking at the animals (rabbits, goats, sheep/lambs, chickens, turkeys, roosters, and cows).

The cows were Jovi's favorite. She loved them & was moo-ing the whole time.

We also took her on the carousel & she was ooh-ing and awe-ing the whole time then too!

Horses

The other day, I took the girls on a walk w/our neighbor (Hayden & Deanna).

Hayden and Jovi are BFFs and always have play dates together.

They were both so excited for a walk AND to see the horses.

These horses are always out in the field (s) by our house.

Deanna brought carrots, to feed the horses, and Jovi loved it!

Presley just slept in the stroller the majority of the time, but Jovi and Hayden got to touch the horses.

Jovi was excited (from far away), but when the horses car running  up to the fence, she changed her mind.

Here are a few favorite shots:
