6 months

Happy Half Birthday to my sweet little girl!  Six months have just flown by!  Just think that Brent and I have been able to keep this baby alive AND happy for six months.  Whew! 
 
This first picture is my favorite...spit up and drool coming out of her mouth.  That seems to be a constant in our lives, so it's nice that it was captured on film for all to see.  She ALWAYS needs a bib on, however even with a bib on, I manage to get slimed one way or another.  We have even started to "double bib" as some bibs don't have the plastic underneath, so her shirt just gets soaked just as much as the bib.  Isn't that the purpose of the bib?  To protect the clothes?  So, we put a plastic lined on underneath and then a wider, more absorbant bib on top.  That seems to lengthen the time between bib changes.   





New things happening at 6 months:
  • rolling over from back to belly at night - every night.  We woke up one day last week to find her on her belly in her crib. And she's been on her belly every night since then.  Soon, I think the toosh will be going up in the air while on her belly and that'll be a pose to document! 
  • rolling from belly to back.  She seems to favor rolling over on her left side, so we keep encouraging both ways. 
  • sitting up without support.  I feel like this skill snuck up on us!  One day she needed assistance and the next she was on her own. 
  • bringing feet to her mouth.  Every time we lay her down, pop! go the feet to her mouth. 
  • pulling off her socks.  Soon it'll be warm enough to not need socks, so I'll get a break from fighting that battle this summer. 
  • babbling.  She's quite chatty.  All sorts of sounds! 
  • raspberries.  She loves making raspberries with her bottom lip.  She'll imitate us making raspberries with her tongue too. 
  • solid foods.  so far so good!  you saw the video right?
  • she's inconsistent with sleeping through the night.  I feel like we celebrate one night, but the very next night she's waking up 1-2 times.  Ugh.  So obviously that's a battle we're still working through.
