6 month olds - check in!

Just wondering what the 6 month olds are up to these days!

Naps? Eating (BM/Formula and solids)? Nighttime sleep? Milestones? Weight/height?

DS naps 3 times a day (morning, early afternoon, before dinner). He goes down around 8/8:30 for the night and usually wakes up to nurse twice.

He nurses about 5 times during the day, and has solids for dinner (veggies mixed with BM). I just started to introduce fruit and cereal for breakfast but he's not really into it.

He weighs 7lbs, 13oz, not sure about height...maybe 26.5?

DD naps 2-3 times a day. Usually about 45 minutes.

Drinks 5 bottles of formula about 6oz. Well we offer 6 oz bottles, she doesn't always take the whole bottle.

She eats solids 2-3 times a day. Depends on her appetite but I try to make sure she gets a fruit and a veggie each day. She's already turning away from veggies.

Sleeps pretty good at night. When she first started rolling over she woke up a lot but now she seems to like sleeping on her belly.

She's been sitting unassisted for awhile now. Sometimes she topples over but shes doing great. She is trying to sit up on her own and also start crawling. She tries to to lift up to her knees so I'm sure she will be mobile soon.

Height 25.5 inches
Weight 17.5lbs

DD is a chunker, 20 lbs! Height- she measured at 26.5 but I think it may have been a little off.

She drinks either 4 or 5 6oz bottles, depending on her sleep schedule. She gets cereal and veggies twice a day, and we are about to start fruit this week.

Her sleep is all over the place. She is a pretty good sleeper but used to be SO much better, until about 4.5 months. On a good day, she takes 2 1 hour naps. Other days, she barely naps at all. She wakes 1 or 2 times a night somewhat regularly now.

She sits well, but I always make sure she is surrounded by pillows if I can't be right behind her bc she does sometimes topple over still. She just started pushing up into a sitting position by herself and is trying really hard to crawl - she goes backwards now. She is also trying to pull herself up to stand, but she really only makes it to her knees.
