Haven - Months 1-6 Catch Up

Wow!  Haven is already 6 months old - I cannot believe it.  Since I'm doing 6 months at once, I'll do my best to capture milestones for the last 6 months - haha, who am I kidding!  I barely know what I did yesterday, let alone what happened 6 months ago.

Things went great the first month - Haven was eating good and sleeping OK - she really liked to be held and cuddled and didn't like it if she wasn't in someone's arms.  Therefore, I started co-sleeping - something I never thought I'd do.  But, she wouldn't sleep anywhere else, so co-sleeping was what worked.

Around 5 weeks, things started to get a little rough.  Up to this point, I had been breastfeeding and Haven was gaining weight.  We ended up hitting a point where she wanted to be attached to me and feeding ALL OF THE TIME.  Haven just wasn't a happy baby and I wasn't a happy mom.  I needed ME time, I needed time with just the big girls and none of that was happening.  I ended up going to 100% formula and within just a few days, our happy Haven (and happy mom) was back.  She started sleeping better and we transitioned Haven into her crib in her room.  Haven was eating 6 oz bottles every 3-4 hrs and sleeping through the night.  Life was getting back to a normal state :)

3 Months Old - 

I went back to work when Haven was 2 1/2 months old and by the time she was 3 months old, we all started to get into a decent routine.  We all needed some type of a routine.  Haven was a happy baby, still eating 6 oz bottles every 3-4 hrs.  She was awake for about 2 hours and then ready for a nap for 2-3 hrs.  

4 Months Old -

Happy, happy baby!  Haven pretty much goes along with the flow all the time.  Loves to watch her big sisters do anything and everything.  She started to roll from back to tummy but would get frustrated since she couldn't get herself back to her back.  Still eating 6 oz bottles and sleeping through the night.  

5 Months Old -
Perfecting rolling from back to tummy - starting to sit up unassisted.  Starting to get her two bottom teeth.

5 Months Old -
17.31 lbs - 75th percentile

Sitting up on her own - two bottom teeth are completely in.  Drooling like crazy.  Reaching for anything and everything and whatever she gets her hands on - goes right into her mouth.
