What a special milestone! These past 6 months have been so full of joy. Sure, there have been some stressful moments and some tears, but the overarching words that come to mind when I consider the last 6 months are joy and thankfulness. You and I had a fun day yesterday. We went to Mary Jo Peckham Park in Old Katy for a meetup with new friends, then we ran by the library, World Market, and Whole Foods. I decided to treat myself to a citrus mint tea sparkler at Whole Foods since it was your special day. :) You took a really long afternoon nap when we got home. Then Daddy and I went to Menchie's with you last night to celebrate over frozen yogurt.
Here's the picture Daddy took of you before I held up Sophie la Giraffe.
Here's the one after you heard Sophie squeak.
At 6 months:
You weigh 18 pounds 2 ounces and are 28 inches long.
You reach out for me to hold you. :)
You take the bottle and hold it all by yourself (and you NEVER leave any milk in the bottle!).
You are a dedicated tummy sleeper and you love to cuddle with your bear or one of your loveys while you sleep.
You have eaten applesauce, pears, peaches, bananas, carrots, squash, green beans, peas, and turkey. That list goes from favorite to least favorite, with turkey making you gag the most. :( But you will happily eat a whole jar of fruit!
You are a roly poly. You don't play on your back for long until you decide to roll over to your tummy.
Sometimes you lean forward in your carseat, like you're trying to sit up.
You not only hold your head and chest high when on your tummy, but also lift your torso and kick your legs out. All signs point to you wanting to crawl.
You like to stand (with help) and look at your toys from above. Sometimes I stand you up in front of your little basket of toys and you will lean in and grab one at a time. You also like looking at your activity mats from above.
You like it when I sing skinna-marinki-dinki-dink.
