6 months old!

I know I say this every month but HOW can you already be 6 months old?! Half a year?!!!! It is hard to believe you have been here for that long I feel like we just came home from the hospital, but at the same time I can't remember my life without you Hadley! You are getting more fun every month!!!

Here is what you are up to at 6 months old:

- You weigh 18.5 pounds (90th percentile) and are 26 1/4" long (75th percentile).

- You started eating baby food and rice cereal this month! So far you have had sweet potatoes, spinach, peas, applesauce, yogurt, and carrots. You love all of it! The peas are your least favorite but you tolerate them.

- You are still nursing 5 times per day.

- You are wearing size 3 diaper

- You are wearing 6-9 month clothes

- Your legs get chunkier by the day. I LOVE it.

- You are rolling over with ease, and can just about sit up. You fall over every know and then, but you can hold yourself in a sitting position for at least 5 minutes usually.

- You are sleeping and napping wonderfully (most days). You go to bed between 7:30-8PM and wake up between 6:30-7AM. You take 3 naps per day usually.

- You still love your swing, johnny jump up, and bumbo. You also like to roll around on the floor and play with your toys.

- You LOVE your bother Bear. He makes you laugh more than anyone else.

- You are happy and smiling 98% of the time. We are so thankful.

- You have the sweetest voice and you are talking ALL the time. Such a girl. I wake up to you 'singing' in the monitor every morning. LOVE it.

- Still no teeth, but hopefully they will come soon. You are chewing on everything in sight and drooling lots.

- You have figured out how to pull your bow off your headband and your headband off your head. You then like to eat both of them. We have some 'bow training' to do. :)

- You have a bunny rabbit that you love to snuggle with when you go to sleep. Sweetest thing ever.

- Still a thumb sucker. I know that when your thumb goes in your mouth you are tired.

- You still love your bath and have started wiggling all around in the tub. I have to keep my eyes on you constantly, you little wiggle worm!

Hadley, I go to bed every night about to burst with how much I love you, and then the next morning I am filled with even MORE love for you. You bring so much joy into our lives. We are so thankful God gave you to us! We love you!!!
