Today we put together a small baby sprinkle for one of my good friends. She said they were sticking to a woodland theme in her nursery so we did the same for her shower.

We served brunch spreads including:

Biscuits and jams

Yogurt, fruit, and granola

Cookies and donuts

Muffins

We put together a diaper cake.  I found the moss at Joanns and the colored twine at Hobby Lobby.

The napkins are from Hobby Lobby.

Out takes:

Clothes size: 6 months (can still wear some 3-6 months)

Sleep: I think Parker has slept two times through the night in the past month.  Most nights she sleeps from 8pm to 3am.  Some nights she wakes up multiple times!  Drew and I actually prefer her to wake up at 3am as opposed to 4am.  We both wake up around 5am so we really do not go back to sleep once she is up at 4.  Parker is really good at putting herself to sleep.  At night after her last feeding I lay her in her crib and she almost immediately falls asleep.  When she wakes up in the middle of the night she is just talking away in her crib.  She usually only cries when Drew changes her diaper. 

Feeding: with Parker going to two different babysitters during the week I wanted to try to get a consistent schedule that worked for everyone.  It definitely took some work to get her on a schedule.  Sometimes she is stubborn and she wants to eat when she wants to eat. Right now she is feeding at 7:30am, 10:30am, 1:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm and 8:00pm.  We are feeding her basically every 3 hours 5 oz bottles. The last two feedings are with me so I do not feed with a bottle.  I am unsure how much milk she is really eating. 

Likes: toys, holding items in her hands, Porter, watching tv (bad for her I know, but I cannot keep her eyes off of it), holding her feet, rocking back and forth, reaching for any type of cup 

Dislikes: Being alone in a room by herself, unless it is to sleep, her car seat, having her diaper changed in the middle of the night

Milestones: sitting up, rolling over both front to back and back to front, scooting around in a circle, trying to pull herself up (not completing successfully), many signs of teething: drooling, rubbing at ear, small fever, uninterested in bottle

Hair: Straight, getting longer on top, still looks light strawberry blonde

Weight: 13lbs

Height: 25 in long

Sleep: Currently sleeps from 8 to around 5:30am, when we get up for work.  Some nights she will wake up around 2:30am for an extra feeding. We just started sleeping without her swaddled because she is really close to rolling on to her belly from her back. 

Feeding: Finally opening up to the idea of a bottle.  Now that I have gone back to work she kind of has no choice. Eating every 2 1/2 hours sometimes longer with bottle feeding.  No real set schedule for daycare yet but usually eating around 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm (breastfed), 8pm then to bed.

Likes: Taking naps on daddy, jumper, big brother, Vera Bradley bunny, anything she can grab, watching the big kids play, soft blankets, pacifier 

Dislikes: Car Seat, long car rides, wet/dirty diapers, strangers

Went to see Granny in the hospital.

Hanging with Uncle Artie.

Lunchtime with brother. 

Rolling on side very close to belly.

Toes in mouth all of the time.

Drooling all over her clothes. She has to wear a permanent bib.
