Six Months

I cannot believe you're six months old. I didn't take your six month pictures, because we had them professionally done. They came out great, and I can't wait to post them here. You have changed so much in the last month! Here's what you're up to now (and why you're blowing our minds):

• crawling EVERYWHERE
• pulling up on EVERYTHING
• you can walk with the help of your walking stroller (seriously? yikes)
• eating solids (sort of)

We had to lower your crib to the lowest level because you pull up on it as soon as you're awake. Now you look like a little jail bird when we come in to get you :) You are so busy. That's the best way to describe it. You move from one toy to the next. You are still fascinated by Lola. I think you're scaring her a bit when you crawl towards her. But then she warms up to you again when you have food on your hands that she can lick.

We have loved every minute of this new developmental phase you're in. Every stage is so new and fun, but this has been the best for sure. We are leaving you for the first time this weekend while we celebrate our anniversary in LA. You were not thrilled to hang out with your babysitter today (first time we tried that), so I hope you're on your best behavior for Grandma Beth this weekend!

Love you sweet girl.

 You're a bit clingy these days :) But you'll let me get ready for the day...if you can be right beside me.

 you put everything in your mouth

 seriously, it is crazy that you're able to stand up and balance like this!

 You're not thrilled with solid food. You've had sweet potatoes, carrots and a spinach/brown rice mix. You'll get a few spoon-fuls in and you're over it. You're much more interested in the spoon.

Your First Christmas

Your first Christmas was probably more exciting for your dad and me, but I'm pretty sure you enjoyed seeing your family and playing with your new toys! You are really interested in toys for the first time, and it was really fun to watch you playing with everything.

We spent the first part of the trip in New Orleans. You had so much fun playing with all of your cousins!

 

Christmas morning

After New Orleans, we went to Shreveport.

 hanging out with Uncle Chris and Aunt Katie

You spent A LOT of time with Aunt Bee! She took care of you while we went out and had some fun!

 

Hope you enjoyed your first Christmas - it was so fun sharing it with you :)
