6 Months!
My little Auggie.. You are six months old today!! HALF A YEAR! Incredible.
6 Months Stats
Weight - 18 pounds (90th percentile)
Height - 26 inchs (60th percentile)
Head - 42 cm (40th percentile)
August gained 3 pounds in two months.. She is thriving so well off of the boob the pediatrician said no rush on starting solids. Awesome doctor or what?!
- Breastfeed for 6 months! Not a drop of formula. You love the boob so much you won't take a bottle or a sippy cup. I am half way to my goal of breastfeeding you for at least one year.
- Co-sleeping - You sleep in between Daddy & I every night. We love having you so close.
- Babywearing - You'd live in your slings all day if we'd let you. The beco is the carrier of choice lately.
- You roll ALL OVER the place. You're starting to army crawl, too!
- You're getting better at sitting every day. You want to keep trying, even though you tumble over quite a bit.
- You're so in love with Beau dog. You laugh at every thing he does & want nothing more than to pull on his face & eat him.
- Books are your new favorite thing. You squeal the whole time we read to you.
- You're AWESOME, FUNNY, & so much fun! You make us laugh every day. We love you so much.

TEN SECONDS!
I AM SO EXCITED!

At The Park
We traded our 16-24 F2.8 lens for a 24-70 F2.8 & sold the 28-70 F2.8. SO MUCH SWITCHING AROUND!
I took August to the park to try out the 24-70. This was her first time at a park actually! She was into the grass, then had a melt down when I wouldn't let her eat it. My almost 6 month old is developing quite the attitude!
Overall the 24-70 is AWESOME! It focus quickly, 2.8 is fairly sharp, f4 is were it really shines. It is also pretty light weight so I won't kill my back using it (If I had to shoot all day). Nikon is really starting to grow on me!

Dr. Seuss for Nursing Moms - FUNNY!
Dr. Seuss for Nursing Moms
Would you nurse her in the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?
I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse with or without a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.
Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her `till she’s full!
Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy’s milk is the best start!
Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have the perfect explanation.
Mommy’s milk is tailor made
It’s the perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast’s the perfect food!
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk’s the perfect food!
We make the amount we need
The perfect temp for every feed.
There’s no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.
Those sweet nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy’s milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can’t be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.
It’s not about what’s good for you,
It’s best for babies, through and through.
I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads and ma’am.
I will nurse her, Mom I am.

Battle Of The Sippy Cups!
August - 3
Sippy Cup - 0
August needs to be taking a bottle or cup by March 7th. I have to go on site to edit for the Oscars.
I am so stressed over this.
The bottle ruins her day every time I try, so I thought I'd give sippy cups a go. We've tried 3 different cups.. still nada.

Sleep... PLEASE!
Where did my little baby go that would sleep all night? It has been weeks! I am starting to feel exhausted.

Super Bowl Sunday
We spent the afternoon at my parent's house eating not so healthy food, hanging with family, & NOT watching the game. August was a dream.. a freakin' DREAM! I swear someone must have slipped her baby drugs cos, she let everyone hold her!! This is such a rare thing. She is normally glued to Mark & I.
We figured since she was so awesome at my parent's that she'd give us hell at bed time. Nope, she went down so easily. I am sure I'll be in for it tomorrow, though....
