I love her little hairs that stick up in the back.
Holland loves this play syringe, I thought it was so cute how she fell asleep holding it.
It has been so fun to see the similarities and differences between Holland and Carly. Holland has been sitting up on her own for about a month and Carly didn’t start sitting until she was about 6.5 months. Here are some recent accomplishments :
Highs:
-Loves to eat baby food
-Loves playing with toys and especially empty plastic water bottles, she’s really good at entertaining herself now.
-Started waving hi (for reals!)
- Thinks Carly is sooo funny, she giggles whenever Carly laughs
-Is very smiley and happy almost all the time!
Lows:
-Started waking up every 2 hours at night time to eat (2 weeks ago), she’s been CIO and has been slowly improving. It’s been so frustrating because Carly started sleeping 12 straight hours through the night at 6 months, and it only took a few nights of CIO for her to get the hang of it, Holland has been completely different! I feel more tired than I did when she was a newborn. She hasn’t been sick and she’s not teething so I have nothing to blame the bad sleeping on, but at least it is getting better and at least she is really happy and cute during the day.
- Won’t take a bottle. This is my fault because I haven’t been good at giving her one regularly but she won’t even try to suck on it anymore!
Holland is such a sweetheart and she brings so much happiness into our home. She is so cuddly and lets us kiss her all the time. We are excited to see what fun new accomplishments this next month brings! We love you Holland Estelle!
