It is so hard for us to believe that she has been in our lives 6 months already. It has gone by so fast yet at the same time it feels like she has been in our lives forever.
She is really starting to get a personality and we are so in love with it:)

size: mostly in 6 months clothing. 3 months are just too tight. luckily it is summer and she can wear a lot of dresses so she doesnt outgrow them too soon:)
is still wearing size 2 pampers during day but size 3 night time diapers.
nicknames: (still) bean, beanie, monster, big girl, beautiful, silly girl, stinker
physical: baby still has blue eyes. a deep gorgeous blue. hair is sort of a light brown, and sometimes looks like a reddish tint (random!). she now has two teeth on the bottom (man was teething a fun experience)
her eyeslashes are so long and gorgeous. lucky girl;)
her hair is still growing and looks a little shaggy at times (definitely her father's daughter haha)
eating: we introduced solids around 4 months (mostly because she had that virus and couldnt suck on her bottle). I am still making her baby food and so far she has had: sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, squash, avocado, bananas, and apples. peas were her least favorite:) she gets a fruit with her 1130 bottle and a vegetable with her 530 bottle. she always eats her 'real food' in her highchair, and usually eats her dinner at the table with us. sometimes she falls asleep.
she has started blowing raspberries, aka spitting, when she doesnt want her bottle or food:)
sleeping: rolling over and teething threw her for her first loop in the sleeping department. but this week she has started getting back to normal. I only had to give her her paci once last night:) she goes to bed around 8-830 and sleeps until 8-830. she takes a little nap around 10 and around a 2 hour nap in afternoon. sometimes she takes a cat nap after dinner. she plays pretty hard so needs her sleep:)
play:
where to even start! she is doing so many fun new things!
- her biggest milestone is she can sit up on her own now. every now and then she will topple but she takes it well and doesn't usually get upset.
- she loves sucking on her feet. it's the first thing she reaches for when I take her out of her sleep sack in the morning
- she has started blowing raspberries (philip said that's not what it's called, but you know when she blows air between her tongue and lips?) anyway, it is so funny and cute, until you are trying to feed her. and end up with carrots all over you:)
- she is giggling and laughing so much. she loves to babble and just talk to herself, especially in her crib at night and when she wakes up.
- she is so AWARE of everything around her. she is just so observant and watchful of things going on around her.
- she does not like to be on her stomach.
- she loves the exersaucer her friend Harper let her borrow. and for a half-birthday present we bought her a jumperoo that she is having so much fun in!
- she loves bubbles and reaching out for them and popping them. her hand eye coordination is getting much better. she reaches for things all the time; like my diet coke can, coffee in the morning, your phone, etc. basically if you have it, she wants it:)
- she got stung by a bee, twice. once on her finger, once on her head and then it stung me too. i flipped out, luckily my mom was here. all is well, she is fine and we now know not allergic:)
