6 Months Old

When we found out about Mylah's heart condition, it made looking towards the future unbearable. Everyday would be a challenge, would she make it to one month, would she make it three? And now here we are at six months old. Six Months! I am honestly amazed at Mylah's little body, and it's ability to thrive, even with an over active and weakened heart. What a miracle she truly is!



Here are Mylah's stats at six months old:

♥ She weighs 16 pounds.

♥ She is 26 1/2 inches long.

♥ She eats two jars of baby food a day.

♥ She still loves to nurse but does it less these days.

♥ For some reason she has reverted and wakes up about two times a night. Boo.

♥ She sits on her own, but we keep a pillow behind her for safety.

♥ She has found her feet and loves to pull her socks off and play with them when she is laying down. Such a silly girl!

♥ She loves to put anything and everything in her mouth!

♥ She loves to touch your face when you talk to her or put it near hers.

♥ She adores her brother and sister and watches them all the time.

♥ She has a very ticklish neck and laughs hysterically when you tickle it!

♥ She loves Yogurt Melts and tries to grab them off her highchair tray and put the in her mouth. She hasn't quite gotten the hand eye coordination down, but she tries!

♥ We missed her appointment to see her Cardiologist this past week because her Daddy had to have an emergency appendectomy. She is scheduled for the 19th and on that day we will plan for her surgery. For now she is really healthy and shows no signs of cyanosis.

She brings us so much joy and we just love having her in our family!
Happy Six Months Mylah Leilani!
