6 months! I can't believe its been 6 months. Holy cow has it gone by fast. I can't wait to go for her check up to see how much she's grown. I can guess, given her growth patten that she's closer to 12 pounds now, and have grown at least an inch or 2.
Abby, you are still the most pleasant baby. You are happy, all the time. You really only get fussy when you are hungry, or tired. You do still get bored, and you want someone to play with you, and you'll cry out for that. But most of the time, you are content. You love people. You love hanging out with people. You love looking at people. You are very serious when you are taking in a new situation and new people. People tell me they've never seen such a content and happy baby.
You love to give hugs. You really like to grasp things. Especially my hair. But you love earrings and necklaces too. You love to grabs cheeks and noses. You're fascinated with feeling peoples features. I love that you enjoy exploring. You are completly fascinate with exploring my face when you nurse. I have to hold you arm back because you can't stop poking my face.
You've improved so much with your sleeping this month. Most of the time you will just wake up once a night now. And on a work day, you will wake up when its time for me to get up. Some nights, you can make it all night. Which is wonderful, but we haven't gotten 2 nights in a row of that yet. You are easy to put down at night. Sometimes you like to nurse to sleep, sometimes you'll fall peacefully in our arms, and sometimes you'll get restless and when we set you down, you go off to dreamland on your own.
You love to eat. There isn't something you've tried that you haven't liked. You were so into the cereal that we decide to try some purees. I know they say wait till 6 months, but you were so ready. We've tried sweet potatoes, apples, squash, and green beans and you love them all. You are also a champ at eating oatmeal and rice cereal. You've sucked on a few pieces of fruit, but you drop them on the floor and Woody eats them. I'm excited to see what other foods you will enjoy eating.
Last week, you learned to sit up on your own. You're still very unstable, so you don't stay long, but we practice every day and you are getting so much better. You are going to have so much more fun playing upright. Right now you get excited and start flapping your arms and you fall over. So far, you haven't cried once when you fall. We just set you back up and you go right back to flapping!
Sitting up has also allowed you to now ride in the seat of the shopping cart. You got to see a whole new world at the Publix on Friday. We bundled you around your blankey, but you had so much fun being able to turn your head and look at everything. We are going to have so much fun shopping together.
You love your brother very much. You love to watch him play on the ipad. He enjoys waking up with you in the mornings. You love laying in his bed and petting his hair. He loves to help you play in the jumperoo. He also loves to feed you, and you both enjoy making a big mess.
You are finally in 3-6 month clothes. Mostly because a lot of the 0-3 were out of season. Its starting to get warm enough that we didn't need long sleeves anymore, and they days that we did, we have plenty of 3-6 to wear. Summer is coming and its time to start wearing shorts. You have tons of cute little shorts to wear, and sundresses. I have one swimsuit already for you and Nana is getting another one. I can't wait to play in the pool with you. You love the bath, so I think you will love the pool.
We are transition to size 2 diapers. Once all the ones we have are gone, we are done. The twos are still slightly big around your waist, but the ones are cutting into your legs. We got a stock pile of twos that have been in the closet since last summer. I'm ready to get into those and get them out of there.
You love all your toys. The jumperoo is fun. You love sophie the giraffe. You love your monkey and your keys. You love to play with paper towels and napkins. You love your paci (daddy named it leroy this weekend since Woody barks when we call it Pappy). You love your nuk paci's the best, but this morning you took a MAM paci for the first time. Sometimes you will fall asleep with one, and sometimes not. But usually when you wake up at night, we can put it in your mouth and you will fall back asleep. Daddy isn't as fast as Mommy as getting it back in in the dark.
Abby, you have been a blessing. I'm grateful everyday to have this experience with you. I love you with all my heart, more than you can ever imagine.
