6 Months
















16 pounds - 50th percentile

Our little one has changed so much over the last few months. At sixth months she...

- is such a happy and calm baby.

- is now taking great naps during the day but no longer sleeping well at night.

- is rolling like crazy.

- is happiest on the ground left alone. 

- puts everything in her mouth. 

-loves to pull moms hair. 

- picks up anything and everything she can lift. 

- is starting to sit on her own. She can sit for a few minutes if she is not paying attention. 

- really doesn't like food. She is happy with her mommy milk. 

- loves to have water dripped into her mouth from a straw. 
- is starting to drink form a sippy cup. 

- will no longer take a bottle. 

- is a pretty good little traveler. 

- responds to her name.

- still loves bath time more than anything. 

- loves to blow raspberries with her lips. 

- never stops talking. 

- has hair that never lays down.

- loves the Christmas tree lights and ornaments. I cant leave her alone too long in the front room or she will make her way under the tree and start pulling things off. 

- is OBSESSED with my cell phone. Whines and cries every time I use the phone and she cant have it. She has called 3 people and counting without me knowing. Dang touch screen lock is definitely not baby proof. 

- still wakes up every night for her binky. She puts it in her own mouth all day but at night wants us to do it for her.

- is showing no sign of teeth. (thank goodness)

- has never liked her bumbo for more than a few minutes at a time. 
- still hates the swing. (waste of money)

- loves to throw things just to watch me pick them up.

- wears size 2 diapers.

- still mostly wears 3 month clothes but is starting to fit into 6 months. 

- is the most wonderful blessing!

"There is the ever-present expectancy of death, but in reality there is no death—no permanent parting."
