We actually went to the Pediatricians office earlier this week because, well, basically because I am a first time mom and worried about everything ha! Tiny is such a good sleeper, not only at night but in the daytime too, that she started worrying me that she wasn't eating enough. I wasn't too concerned because she is clearly growing and thriving, but just to be sure nothing else was wrong we headed off to go see Dr. Pinto. He was really great and although he new everything was totally fine, he listened to all my concerns and questions and calmed all of my fears. At the end of the appointment he said to Emma "Mommy is going to regret this visit later when you start waking up in the middle of the night!" haha. He said that a lot of babies around 6 months old will start waking up and not sleeping during naps because they start to panic when Mommy or Daddy walks out of the room. He said, at that point, they don't understand that life is continuous and they think that as soon as they can't see you, you don't exist anymore and are never coming back! My poor baby!!! But, he said until that time, just enjoy how much she is sleeping because a lot of parents don't have it so easy haha. She continues to take several long days at daycare and pretty much no matter how much she naps, she always sleeps through the night until about 6:00AM now. That's my girl! She also weighs 12 lbs 13 ounces and is in the 50th percentile of weight. So she is clearly growing!!
I am so excited for the holidays to come so we can start some fun traditions. Although she won't remember any of them this year, I love to think of things we can do like going to Pumpkin Patches and starting Christmas traditions, etc. I can't wait to put her in her first Halloween costume either!!
Well, we have lots to do today before heading to Dana's party so I better get cracking. Have a good rest of the weekend everyone! Here are few more pictures of the little monster! You can tell I was trying out different camera settings haha.
