Oh my...six months old already? My sweet blue eyed beauty you are growing so fast. You are my angel baby. I love how seriously happy and smiley you are all the time. The only time you really fuss is when you are hungry or overly tired. You love to be part of the action. You will sit happily and watch everything going on around you. I am so blessed to have such a mild tempered baby. Daddy's cousin joked that we got a "type z" baby (opposite of type a, get it??!!). From day one you have looked us straight in the eyes...its like you are looking into our souls and I love that. I love that you search the room for me and your whole face lights up when you see me.
You are growing so fast both size wise and developmentally. You are fully wearing 6 month clothes and moving into 9 month sizes for anything with feet! You are an awesome eater. Last week I moved you to a four hour schedule (meaning you now eat at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 630pm) which went wonderful...I think you've been ready for that move for awhile...I just had to catch up! I also feed you solid foods twice a day...fruit & cereal around 10am and a veggie at 5pm. We've been doing cereal for a month now and added fruits/veggies a couple weeks ago but last week it really clicked with you and you gobble everything up! You are sitting up on your own for a few seconds before topping sideways and can roll both ways but do it really well from belly to back. You've been laughing a lot lately too. Random things make you giggle, but nothing like when sissy gets in your face. Your whole face lights up in the morning when you see Jayne and your eyes follow her around as she sings/dances around you all day. I know I'm in for it once you are mobile and the two of you gang up on me =) I can't wait for that day. Speaking of which you've been doing so well with tummy time and have actually started pulling your knees up under you. Its only a matter of time, baby girl! You grab everything...my hair, my food, my fingers....I've had to quickly grab my plate before you try to throw it to the floor! You are so strong!
You are such a joy, angel baby and we love you so much. You're smile is infectious and you are such a blessing to this family!
A few things I dont want to forget...
- your sweet babbles. Just today you started saying "daddaddadadadad". I wish just once my kid would say "mama" first!!
- You have eaten apples, peas, green beans, squash, prunes, rice ceral, carrots & bananas
- Your sleep schedule is...7am wake up, 830am nap, 1030am wake up, 1230pm nap, 3pm wake up, 7pm bed
- You eat at 7am, 11am, 3pm and 630pm an take about 5-7 oz each time
- You have to have your blanket in order to sleep (and have since you were a month old) and you sleep with it over your head or at the very least near your mouth. Still makes me nervous and I check on you a lot, most times pulling the blanket off your head, silly girl!
