7-months old

From 2009_06_17

Every day it seems like I am doing something new. I am wicked fast in my walker now so look out because I have places to go! I am sleeping so much better now and am taking 2 naps - Mommy is not upset at all with this new schedule. I am developing such a sweet personality now...I love to laugh, smile, talk (well, I am trying to - and I have already learned I'm going to have to be aggressive to get a word in at my house) and play.

I love to be on my belly and it looks like I might start crawling any day now. I am drooling like crazy, but still no teeth. I do hope I get my first tooth soon because this teething stuff is hard work!

I am hoping for good weather this weekend so Daddy can take me swimming with Mommy and Nicholas!

Bow in my hair

Daddy just loves putting bows in my hair because it is so cute for little girls like me. I don't mind at all...although Nicholas pulled it out once. So much has changed in the last week. I am flying around in my walker now...so watch out because I have places to go! I am officially done with sleeping in my swing now because I am starting to outgrow it (Nicholas almost flipped out of it when he was 9 months old so Mom and Dad learned their lesson on that). I am sleeping great in my crib now... I am a belly sleeper. As long as I have my pacifier in my mouth I will sleep all night and life is good!

I desperately want to talk and make lots of sounds all the time now. Mom and Dad took us all to Outback for dinner and I was talking so much Mom and Dad thought I we might get kicked out of the place. I think everyone got a kick out of me and my brother...Nicholas was saying Hi to everyone and said thank you to our waiter at least 20 times.

I had my 6-month check-up and I am doing great. I got 4 shots and I have to tell you... it hurt! But Daddy held me tight and it was over quickly. I slept for 3 hours that afternoon and was feeling much better when I woke up.

I am hoping the rain stops soon and I am looking forward to my first swim in our pool!

On the Flip Side

It's official... I can now roll over from my back to my stomach! This was my 3rd time turning over... but my 1st on video.

6-months old & talking up a storm

From 2009_05_23 Memorial Day Weekend

I am 6-months old now... Dad owes me a picture with a sign because my brother got a picture with a sign.   I smile and laugh all the time now and desperately want to talk.  I love being outside now that the weather is nice.  I started eating pears and sweet potatoes... they are ok, but I would much rather eat my hand or foot at this point. 

I am almost rolling over now... I can get to my side, but then I get stuck.  I make my way around the kitchen in my walker and like to listen to the music coming from the fridge dj!  I am teething like crazy, but still no tooth... hopefully soon!

Daddy opened the pool this weekend and it should be ready to swim in by next weekend.  I am really looking forward to going swimming for the 1st time.  I know Nicholas is excited to go swimming and I am sure we will be in the pool all summer.

My 6-month stats will be coming soon - I see the doctor on June 15th for my 6-month check-up.
