26-2-2010 - 6 Months old & Updates

My mood while writing this blog: In love

My sweet little Arianna is now 6months old and I adore every momeny of her. She is crawling now and its more of an army crawl but she sure does get around. She is babbling and squeeling all the time and I thought a few different times she said Dada but mostly she just babbles and coos. The is a little over 15lbs now and about 26in long. She is still pretty much in the 50-60 percentile for height and weight. She has been teething for weeks but still no teeth coming through yet. I did find out on Tuesday at her appointment she had an ear infection and that explained her more than normal fussiness. I had thought it was her little gums :( Arianna is eating every type of baby food and loves all of it. She loves the teething biscuits and the little wagon wheels. I also bought her a bouncy chair instead of the doorway one I was using and she really gets going in it until she gets so tired she gets cranky LOL

Isaiah is 6 now, (WOW!) and has been a wonderful big brother. He loves his little sister and plays with her all the time and makes up songs to sing to her LOL Isaiah has been giving his Kindergarten teacher a bit of trouble this month with not listening and arguing. I have seen a lot of sad faces on his daily report which makes me sad. I have had a lot of talks with him about his behavior and am trying to figure out how I can help him improve his behavior in the classroom. The thing that makes me sad about this month is for the month of January he was nomited a "Super Bee for Leadership". He is not stupid and knows what he is doing. Just wish he would listen and not be a problem in class. I don't expect perfection from him just want him to do well. Other than that he seems to be doing better in the daycare van which was a concern.

On another subject I have had my IUD for a couple months now and have only had 1 period and it was insanely heavy (Sorry if TMI) and then haven't had a normal period since. I thought I was starting and then I bled for about a day and a half and that was it. I have spotted a couple of times since then but that is all. Not sure if that is normal because my body is adjusting to it. When I wasn't on birth control my periods were really really abnormal so maybe since I have the copper IUD that doesn't have hormones in it it is going off my normal body's cycle which has always been abnormal? I dunno. It is kinda annoying but at the same time I don't mind not having a period LOL

Other than that things are good. Hope all of you are doing well.
