24 weeks old (6 months old)

October 30th, 2009 Riley turned 24 weeks old. From now on I am going to be going by the 15th of each month for counting how old she is. That way everyone is on the same page as in how old she is. So November 15th she will officially be 6 months old.

We have Riley practicing sitting up more and more each week. She seems to like it better than laying on her back and stomach. Now she can roll over from both tummy and back. Even though she is doing very well on sitting up she still has a spill now and then and lands on her face or her back. We gave Riley a bath and it was her very first bubble bath and the first time she got to sit up. She seemed to enjoy it. The minute I put her in the bath she grabbed some bubbles and just looked at me. I'm thinking she was a little unsure of it. We have to have our hands behind her back while she is in it or she will fall over backwards. Cant wait until she can hold herself up and I don't have to worry about her falling backwards.

Riley has been taking 4 bottles a day 4 hours apart. We have been feeding her more of the cereal more often. She unusually gets 3 bowls of it a day. She is getting better at each feeding with keeping it in her mouth. She likes to stick her fingers in her mouth the minute the cereal enters it. Adam and I got her 2 jar foods this weekend too. Turkey gravy which smells just like wet cat food- yuck! And sweet potatoes. She was a little unsure of the new foods but after the second time of giving it to her she seems to like it. We go to the doctor for her 6month check up on Wednesday November 4rd. She will be getting her 6 month shots and a flu shot. Hopefully she does well with them like she has in the past.
