My little Lily Love is 6 months old.
We went to the doctor’s (see above pic) – here are the stats:
Height: 26.5 inches (50th percentile)
Weight: 17 lb, 6 oz (50th percentile)
Head: I forget, but it’s the 50th percentile.
She cut her first tooth last night! There is at least one other on the cusp of breaking through – hopefully she’ll start sleeping a bit better.
I figured out soon after becoming a mother that I got a lot more sleep by keeping my baby with me at night. It’s much easier for me to go back to sleep after a feeding if I’m not walking back and forth between rooms. Plus, with the baby near me, I don’t have to go in and check on her dozens of times a night to make sure she’s still breathing. (I’m freaked out like that.) Lily has called this co-sleeper her bed for the past few months.
And to be honest, there have been many nights when she’s gotten cold (or I’ve gotten lazy) and she’s ended up snuggling with me in our bed.
But, the babe has grown, and no longer fits safely in the cosleeper.
So we put together her crib, where she has been content. Sigh.
The end of an era.
Oh come on, you knew I wouldn’t actually kick her out of the room yet.
P.S. Thank you for all the comments, phone calls, and e-mails regarding the last post. I really appreciated the encouragement. I’m feeling a lot less overwhelmed this week. My stab-victim friend stopped by work today and gave me a hug. He’s okay. We’re okay. The babies are okay. I’ll post a video soon of Squiggles making pizza with Tim. Cutest dough-tosser ever.
P.P.S. The crib is tied securely, with a thousand or so knots, to my bed frame. It’s not going anywhere (i.e. the baby won’t fall out…).

Dang, that girl is cute! I would want her next to me at night too. (Okay, actually not because I cannot sleep with babies in my room) But I get why you want her there.
Happy 6 months Lily!
I think there is one area where Lily does not fall into the 50th percentile-
Cuteness: 100th percentile...maybe even off the charts.
Glad you are feeling less overwhelmed!
six months?!?
Ha ha ha- I love the crib co-sleeper so much. It made my morning.
That's such a good idea! I need to get a co-sleeper for our next baby! And I love the pictures of Lily! What a sweet little girl :)
Your room is so cute! I love that little window and the wallpaper! It's exactly what I would imagine you having :)
Everything about looks just perfect. Her only downside is that she is not bonded enough to her grandpa and grandma. I hope we can fix that sometime in the future.
ha ha! Love the co-sleeper crib! We have Isaac's crib jammed between the wall and our bed--the more kids I have, the more I need my sleep :) I can't believe they're growing up so fast!
