Once again I feel like she has grown so much this past month. Not only in her development but her personality too! She definitely keeps us on our toes as she reachs for everything, we often say "she's always in your business", she is now sitting up totally on her own and really likes to sit up when she plays, she reachs to be held and whines until you do so:), she has started crying when I leave the room :(, she was dedicated at church, she grabs for everything and will wiggle her way out of your arms to get to it, she's been doing lots and lots of rolling over to get things, she's drinking out of her camelback and just recently a sippy cup, and she's started to eat big girl food - we gave her rice cereal for the first time last night and gave her bananas this morning with her rice cereal. We also broke her of the habit of her sleeping in our bed. Not sure if I had mentioned this previously but we found her sleeping in our bed consistently after I had let her a few times when she had a cold and Jimmy was out of town (amazing how quickly something becomes habit). So we did a revised version of letting her cry it out about a week ago and so far so good! She cried for over an hour the first night but the last few nights have been little to no crying and she's sleeping entirely through the night without a feeding or needing her paci put back in or anything - it's wonderful for us all!
Her weight this month was 20 lbs 5 oz and heigh is 28 inches. She's near the top of the charts on both height and weight!
Aside from those things she continues to be such a good, happy baby. Her eyes light up when she recognizes someone she knows, her little arms stretching up for you to pick her up is just priceless, and her baby babble and giggles is such a sweet sweet sound.
It's unbelievable how fast they grow but each milestone is so much fun to witness. I love to watch her discover new things, play with her daddy, wiggle, stretch and squarm until she can reach something, and the way she snuggles up when she's sleepy. She is such a joy and a blessing to us and there's not a day that goes by that I don't thank God for a healthy, beautiful baby.
We love you to pieces baby girl - happy 6 month birthday!

ReplyDeleteShe sure does look her Daddy but I can see more of you in her in the first few pictures! It is completely amazing how quickly babies grow and change, such an incredible thing to witness...you are absolutely right! I LOVE her headband. Do you think you could make me one? (I'm dead serious...maybe on a regular headband!?)
