6 Months

Molly,
I absolutely cannot believe that it's time for this post already! That means we've made it through your first holidays and we're getting ready for another session with Brandi.

It also means we're ready to start "real" food. So far you've had rice cereal and seem to like it ok. You eat one "big" bottle in the late morning and 3 small bottles the rest of the time you're with Miss P. (I can't believe you two have already spent almost a month together!) You're getting better at napping for her and playing by yourself. You don't like to spend much time in your swing now but really like your walker (even though you can only go backwards) and excersaucer. You'll play with your feet forever if I let you. You really like to pull off your socks and chew on them. When we go out to dinner you like to chew your Sophie or play with spoons.

You're getting better about sleeping. You go down around 8 & you only get up once at night around 3:30 or so. Most nights you'll eat and then go back to sleep but some nights you want to talk and play with mommy's nose or glasses. On those nights most often we end up sleeping in the big brown chair until mommy's alarm goes off.

You're still wearing size 2 diapers & 6 month clothes (we still roll the sleeves up for you). Your 3 month close def. don't fit any more but a lot of your jammies are 3-6 months and they fit perfectly. Bath time is your favorite time. We sing "rubber ducky" while you get all cleaned up. You had your first cold this month but we're on the downhill side of it now. I'll add your measurements once we get back from the dr. on Monday.

You've started to yell loud to hear yourself. It makes you smile. You also played "opossum" for the first time the other morning when I tried to wake you up. You'll pull all the drool in your mouth to the front of your lips and then make a buzz noise so its flies out. This month you met your Great Great Aunt Rosie & Uncle Bud.

I love you so much Peeps. I'm excited for all the new things to come. Happy half birthday!
Love Mommy
