4,380 - 182.5 - 26 - 6 - 1/2

4,380 hours, 182.5 days, 26 weeks, 6 months, 1/2 a year....however you want to say it Jaelynn is halfway to her first birthday! This little one has been such a blessing to our family and brings us so much joy every day. She is so loved!
~14 lbs 2.5 oz (10-25%)
~25 inches (25%)
~ just used the last 1-2 diaper and now in size 2 with A LOT of room to grow
~wore a 0-3 month outfit the other day (still!) but is primarily in 3 month (carter's) and 3-6 month (gymbo, gap, old navy, etc)
~sleeping is still random...most of the time she is down around 8 and wakes up to eat between 6 and 7 (and then goes back down until anywhere from 8:30-10?!? but every now and then she still randomly wakes up in the middle of the night
~wakes up happy (90% of the time) and "talks" in her crib for a while (10+ minutes) before we go get her
~can sit independently for longer periods of time (5 minutes today!) but still falls over quite a bit
~babbling more and more each day (dadada, ada ada, nanana, yayaya, gagaga)
~plays independently with toys for up to 10 minutes
~cries when mommy or daddy walk away
~FINALLY rolling from back to tummy!!! I say finally because she rolled from tummy to back at 2 months and I have been waiting for this
~she still loves to blow raspberries but her latest thing is to do it while she is nursing....it definitely makes mommy laugh everytime!
~inching/pushing/moving/maneuvering her way forward to get toys by pushing her face into the ground bringing her knees up under her and shoving herself forward (I am trying to get video!)
~moves herself all over the floor when she is playing-I will lay her down one way and come back to find her across the room facing the complete opposite way !?!
~some days she is a great eater...other days not so much
~holds her own bottle when she wants to but prefers for you to hold it
~very happy girl, smiles and giggles a lot especially at mommy, daddy and sister
~sucks on both thumbs and a pacifier...sometimes but doesn't need any of them on a regular basis
~chews/chomps on everything (the pediatrician asked if she was teething but I don't think she is - Kaley was the same way and didn't cut her first tooth until 9 months)
~has found her headbands/bows and pulls them off (sometimes but mommy knows she really loves them!)
