six months

Today is Sweet Pea's six month birthday.

Six months.

Yes, I've already had

six delightful months of knowing my little sweetie!

It's been lovely.

Right now Sweet Pea...

is getting over a cold

is still trying to get those stubborn teeth

and has been sleeping horribly.

(schedule? what's that?)

has been super cuddly

holds on with a tight hug when being carried

is beginning to outgrow being swaddled while sleeping

began wearing 6-9 month sized clothes a couple of weeks ago

is adding more variety to her list of solid foods

still likes apples

loves pears and sweet potatoes

enjoys rice (especially when it's mixed with pears)

kinda tolerates avocado

sits up in a booster chair for meals

bounces in excitement when she sees that her food is on the way

likes blowing her food out of her mouth

(which her brothers find hilarious.)

loves, loves, loves to bounce

(in the johnny-jump-up, while being held, while sitting down...

she even tries to bounce when she's prone.)

has figured out how to get out of her Bumbo chair
sits up on the floor in the middle of a Boppy pillow
can scoot around backwards while lying on her back

likes being near her brothers

loves toys that make noise

is delighted when the boys share their toys with her

still rolls from her stomach to her back

and from her back to her side

loves Brother's squeezes
has an enthusiastic morning greeting ritual with Little Man
is fascinated when her daddy practices his golf swing

still says "mama" when she's sad

has a delightful, contagious laugh

smiles a lot

has already started posing for the camera
sheds real tears when crying
has figured out how to fake cough to get attention
delights us all with her silly faces and fun personality
