Georgia 5-6 Month Updates

Georgia has been developing so rapidly over the last couple of months! She is laughing, rolling over both ways, pivoting, scooting on her back, reaching for objects and putting them in her mouth, babbling (mostly "dadadada," but also an occasional "mama" and "buhbuh), and has even tried a couple of foods. I started her with avocado, mixed in and pureed with some breastmilk, and she really enjoys that. Next, we tried bananas, and she doesn't seem to enjoy those as much. We look forward to continuing to try some different things with her now that she is officially 6 months old. She still prefers breastfeeding over any other means of nutrition, but she does take the bottle when she has to. I've tried formula with her a few times, particularly at night to see if it will fill her up better. She doesn't seem to mind the formula and takes it about as well as she does when there is breastmilk in the bottle. She is still in a bit of a sleep regression, and wakes up 1-2 times a night (usually at 11ish and 3ish). This is very tiring for momma, but I know it won't last forever. Her personality is already so apparent. She is still such an alert and aware baby, like she has been from day 1. She is going to be a quick learner because she is already so intuitive and smart. She seems to always know what is going on around her, and she wants to interact with everyone and everything. Her favorite thing to watch is her big brother. She locks her eyes on him and can be entertained for a long, long time. He makes her smile and laugh, and he still loves on her and gives her lots of hugs and kisses. Besides big brother, Georgia always lets our a laugh when you lift her up in the air, tickle her belly, and kiss her feet. She does some really high pitched squeals, and when I do it back at her, that makes her laugh really hard. She is such a happy girl, and is such a joy. I could have never prepared myself for the way she would complete our family.
