Over the last month she started eating solid foods (rice cereal, bananas, pears, apples, carrots and sweet potatoes). She likes everything so far. I have to say she is probably the only baby on the planet that likes rice cereal. We made it through a whole box already. I don't think we even finished a box with Pennington.
Piper is already getting up onto all fours in either the crawl position or a bear crawl position. It wont be long until she figures out how to crawl. When she does move she moves backwards and gets herself stuck in corners.
Piper is turning into a very happy little girl. She hardly ever cries anymore. When she does cry it is because she is hungry or tired.
On the sleeping front she is starting to take really good naps for everyone except for me. I guess it is good thing I went back to work so she can get in the habit of taking longer naps. She still is waking up a few time a night. On a good night only twice. I sort of think she would sleep longer if I just gave her a bottle. I'm about 99% sure the only reason she wakes up is because she is hungry.
I would also like to point out that I am still breastfeeding. This is a huge accomplishment for me and I am super proud of myself. Yes we are still supplementing with formula but whenever I can I try to breastfeed. I currently am feeding her at least 4 to 5 times a day and pumping while I am at work. I am only able to pump 5 to 6 ounces while I am at work so we are having to supplement to make up the difference. I just achieved my goal of making it six months and now I have set a goal to continue until she gets teeth. I will say that there are some days when I just want to quit because I am so tired and I think that if I just give her a bottle of formula she would sleep longer. But then I realize that this is the last time I will ever be able to breastfeed her so I just keep doing it.
