6 months

Here we are. Half of a year has passed since that glorious moment we met our daughter. She's 6 months old. You should all be shocked to hear that we started solids today... and I didn't cry! I'll go into detail about that in the next post, but just so you know, she did great!

Her 6 month appointment isn't for another 2 weeks, so I'll have to update her weight and height when we get the "official" numbers. She has to be pushing 20 lbs! That girl is so heavy!

Looking back at her 5 month post, not a whole lot has changed. She's used this month to master most of her new found skills. Here are the updates:

• She is still in 6-9 month clothes, some 9, some 12. Size 3 diapers still fit great as well. We're running into a problem at night time though. Since she's tummy sleeping she wakes up in the middle of the night soaked! I have to change her pj's constantly! I'm still working on finding a solution to this one.
• She's desperately trying to crawl. That little butt will stick straight up in the air, then she'll lay back flat and do an almost complete push-up. She gets so frustrated because she can't figure out how to do both at the same time!
• I think we can expect to see a tooth sometime soon. At least I hope so. She's been refusing some of her normal bottles at daycare, fussing a little more than usual, waking more during the night to eat, and chewing on absolutely anything she can find. She gets frustrated because she just can't seem to chew hard enough to make it feel better. My poor girl... :( Those frozen teethers are her best friend as of late.
• We've (or should I say SHE has) ended one of my favorite parts of bedtime. Rocking her to sleep. Nope. She won't have it anymore. She has to put herself to sleep. She's a big girl now, don't 'cha know? She doesn't need mama to rock her to sleep. ::pouts::
• We officially have a sitter! She's still not 100%, but she'll sit and play for a solid 5 minutes or so without wavering!
• Her laugh has grown into an outright cackle. Ha! She laughs at everything. Seriously. This child thinks grass is funnier than Dane Cook.

And of course, our 6 month shoot:









Her new wagon!




How cool is this thing?


Oh, those eyes. :)
