I haven't given an update in a long time but here's one on my little lady.

She had her appointment and shots on July 17 and she took them well though she did have a mild fever on the Saturday but was back to normal on the Sunday. She's 16lbs 4oz and 27 1/2 inches tall.

On Sunday, she had her first take at solids (homemade butternut squash) and she didn't seem too impressed but she's been eating it well since Monday. I have to add here that we were able to make it to 6 months by exclusively breastfeeding and will continue on until 1 year as long as my supply holds or she doesn't wean herself.

Developmental-wise, she's bottle feeding herself and sitting up well. She's army crawling and trying to push herself into a crawling position.

Here are a few pics of her:









First food - Butternut Squash









6 months







Thanks for looking.

Awww Mari!!! She's gotten so grown up looking! And looks very long! I had to convert the inches to cm's to compare. I haven't measured Kirsty's length in a while tho. But gosh!!

Did you oven roast the butternut squash? How long for? Did you then just scoop out the flesh after it's cooked? I have only ever peeled/chopped & steamed mine, so thats interesting! I might try that way!

Ugh, my connection seems to be very slow and is causing my pages to act a bit wonky.

Fi, I roasted the squash at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Then I scooped it out and tossed it into the blender to puree with 2oz of breast milk. You can use the water that's left from the roasting instead of the breast milk. This way is less preparation that peeling and cutting it up. I will do the same for pumpkin as well.

Thank you all for you nice comments.

I absolutely adore the picture of her grabbing her toes in the crib! She's growing so well. Congrats on making it to 6 months exclusive BF, that's awesome!

I think she was in the 97th range or something like that. They don't like to focus on the percentiles here much. The pedi said she's around the length of a child 9 - 12 months.

Thanks Kyle. I feel so good for making it so far with my small boobs. I hope I can keep it up. I would love to avoid formula, mainly because of her eczema.
