So big!

Vivien finally got to go to her 6 month appointment with Dr. Moore (almost a month late)!
Her stats were:Weight - 18.2 pounds (75th percentile)Height - 27.5 inches (80th percentile)Head - 17.75 (90th percentile)

One of the best pieces of parenting advice that Dr. Moore gave us was to do "pack and play time" or independent play time with our girls. It gives me a few minutes to do anything I need to get done or spend time with just one child plus it seems to help them learn to play by themselves. Amity still plays in her pack and play about 45 minutes every morning. She picks out three toys and three books and listens to music while she plays. Since she is potty training, I leave her door open so she can let me know if she needs to go to the restroom. Today, I kept poking my head in to see if she needed to go and she kept saying, "No, Mommy! I still playing!"

We just started Vivien's pnp time a couple of weeks ago. After she eats breakfast, she plays for about 15-20 minutes in her pack and play.

I think her favorite thing about pnp time is looking at the mirror behind the door but she also seems to enjoy the music (currently listening to Seeds!).

After a little "Vivien time", she is read to hang out with big sister and mommy!
