The past month was a BUSY one for yah!! You went in the lake and the pool for the first time... we have OFFICIALLY cut through TWO bottom teeth and you are working on the ones on the top, your dog passed away, you had your first "professional" photo shoot AND they used your picture in their store and you spent 5 days away from your Daddy...
You slept away from home with us for two nights and you did GREAT...you had play dates and started your summer vacation! Whew! You still love to sit and play with your toys and your FAVORITE place to be is OUTSIDE. You love it outside!!!TiTi and I weighed you with Sky this month and we think you are around 16lbs and Auntie J.T. and I measured you and we're pretty sure you are 27 1/2 inches long but tough to tell since your favorite thing to do is wiggle and pound your legs into the ground.
You are still hit or miss with sleeping through the night...but the nights where we are up for hours are few and far between. (THANK GOODNESS. MAMA LIKES HER SLEEP!) Your naps are still sporadic and sometimes you go down for and hour and 40 min and sometimes a 1/2 hour... tough to tell with you. We still rock you to put you down and I know that's probably "bad" but you are just so high strung that it takes a lot to get you to relax enough to sleep. You fight it like nobody's business. Aunnie LuLu (Laura Jane) and I talked about that when she came to stay while Daddy was gone... trust me little one... you will LOVE sleep later on...
You don't have any real FAVORITE toys yet though I keep trying to get you to fall in love with your stuffed mini-Rebound for obvious reasons. :) Anything you can stick in your mouth and chew on is good enough for you.
I bought you a cover for the grocery cart and you are a BIG girl sitting up in them now looking around the stores at all the lights and things to buy. Don't get to crazy, Uncle L is the one who will buy things for YOu :) hee hee hee
You are wearing 3-6 month bottoms in order to fit around the waist and 6-12 in order for length. Tops are 9-12 months if they are going to be long enough. Shoes? What shoes? It's summer... :) You are still in size 2 dipes but we did buy a box of size 3's.
So far on your palate has been: Sweet potates, avacado, oatmeal and rice cereals, carrots, green beans, peas, applesauce and peaches. You were DEF. not psyched about the carrots but I think that's because Mama forgot to cook them before GA put them through your food mill :) whoopsie. We'll give those another try. Green beans are your fav along with your oatmeal cereal. If I want to get you to eat rice cereal I have to mix it with your oatmeal. I've made you all your food except your green beans, peas and applesauce and Daddy and I are taking a trip to Whole Foods to stock up on more things so that I can make other tasty treats for you.
Your first camping trip is coming up and we are hopeful the fresh air and busy-ness of your cousins will be enough to wear you out for naps and bedtime... but you are a tough one when it comes to sleep so we'll see... and so will the ENTIRE campground :) I'm not worried though... when all else fails we'll have Auntie the Entertainer and TiTi the baby-whisperer with us :)
6 months was so much fun Minnie Daddy and I can't WAIT to spend the summer with you. We love you lots and lots and get excited for each new development AND challenge :) Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!
