Growing Up

 Now that Heidi is six months old we are noticing she is growing up in leaps and bounds!  She is turning into a great eater; she's eaten everything we've tried to give her (including some rather tart apricots).  She is eating more and more at each 'meal' now, too.  She needs to be eating more, too.  This girl likes to move.  And she is strong.  See the perfect example of her strength below!  That is a nearly perfect plank position.

And she needs to be eating more since we decided it was time for her to sleep through the night.  Without us giving her a pacifier whenever she woke up.  We were prepared for quite the battle like her sister gave us when we cut her off from intervention during the night.  Thankfully, though, this girl is a real champ at sleeping!  Some morning she has woken up before 6 am - and we leave her in her crib until then - but for the most part she's been sleeping beautifully.  Whew!
