Six Months Old.

Miss E turns six months old today and I am once again in shock of how quickly time is going.

Are you tired of hearing that yet?


While she still is a no-bottle girl, she has turned into a lover of foods. She eats lunch and dinner now which usually consists of a vegetable and then either rice cereal or oatmeal. Peas, green beans, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes are all a part of her repertoire. Next up; fruit.

Sits up better but not unassisted. When we first started her in the double stroller she had a really hard time sitting up and would slouch down and then cry of discomfort. Now she actually seems to enjoy it.

Her two teeth have come in perfectly and she hasn't even much complained. (But I have, ahem, because they are rather sharp, if you catch what I'm saying.)

Miss E, Miss M and me.

She is still our happy, smiley girl, just about all the stinking time. She finally fits in H's old bouncy car and when I say she fits what I mean is we have a blanket underneath since her feet still don't reach the floor. But she loves it.

E is so responsive with H it is almost unbelievable. He can be in her face, poking her belly button, kissing her cheeks and talking in that high pitched squeaky voice and she will still laugh and smile right at him. She just loves him, and I can't help but notice that the feeling is mutual.

Still a great sleeper. Loves a long (like 3-4 hour long) afternoon nap and about 12 hours at night. Yes, I know how spoiled we are. In the mornings, sometimes she'll even fall asleep after nursing again. This picture is one of those mornings that H happened to be up early too and they both fell back asleep in my bed.

Her hair went flat. And it's getting lighter by the bath. It seems each bath she has it ends up looking lighter and lighter afterwards.

She had her six month check up this morning and weighed in at 15 pounds and 13.5 ounces and is 26 inches long. Still such a little peanut. (For the sake of comparison, H was a lot bigger than this at FOUR months.)

Six whole months. Twenty six weeks. Half of a year.

I shake my head and wonder really where is the time going?

E, help us to enjoy each of your baby days. Keep making us smile and keep loving on us with those big, bold eyes and that spunky grin.

We love you more than imaginable. Each day we love you even more than the day before. Can you even believe it?

You are a daily joy and bring sunshine to everyone around you.

Happy half a year, Miss E.

Love, Mama
