6 Months!

I know it's so cliche, but boy, does time fly!! WOW! Ok, our baby girl is 6 months old and is as cute as ever! We are thoroughly enjoying being with her and watch her personality blossom. She is always bringing a smile to our faces and more often than not, laughter. Her Dr's visit isn't until the end of the month, so I don't have her stats.

Daddy's little girl

She is all smiles! She is playing with a rattle that was mine. Thank you Grandma for keeping these. She loves them!

Milestones:

• She enjoys standing at the coffee table by herself. She loves to play with everything on the table and push it off. She is pretty strong and can stay there for quite awhile. 
• She can sit up on her own. She still leans forward a bit, but she can stay sitting up without help. 
• She can pull her knees under her and get in the crawl pose for a few seconds, but then she gets tired. She is learning so fast =0)
• When I am driving with her I like to sing Primary songs. The other day I was singing "Give Said the Little Stream" and she started singing in her own little way. It was so cute! It was more than just her jabbering. She was really trying to sing. 
• She can hold the bottle and feed herself on her own, pulling the nipple away, then putting it back in. But she has to be in the mood for it. 
• She is eating 8 oz. of formula about four times a day, and sweet potatoes and apples twice a day. She LOVES the sweet potatoes. And she deals with the apples. We will start introducing other foods too.
• She knows when bed time is, and she even gets fussy until we lie her down. As soon as we cover her with a blanket she smiles, pulls the blanket over her head and rolls to her side (usually left). I always check on her later to pull the blanket down. However later in the night she will usually have her blanket up over her face again. I do worry about it suffocating her. She is also flipping over to sleep on her tummy more. Which makes me and Joe worry because some of the time we catch her face planted down on the mattress. But what can you do?
• She is trying to attempt to clap her hands. She really enjoys watching her hands and feet. They are the best toys ever.
•  Her is is growing, slowly but surely. I think it will remain brown like her daddy's. I can't wait until it grows and I can braid it. 
• She really enjoys watching Silky. I think when she gets older they will be good friends.

Trying on a headband that mommy made for the Fourth of July. She doesn't necessarily hate them, but they always seem to end up over her eyes. Poor girl has to put up with me wanting to cute things.

Tuckered out with a day of fun.  I don't know what we will do when she exceeds the weight limit on this thing. We only use it once a day for a half an hour, unless she falls asleep in it. But there are times that she just LOVES it.

On her 6 Month, June 17th, just before bed time...don't mind the crazy socks! LOL, I am behind on laundry.
