6 months!

I can't believe it's been 6 months already. We're halfway till her 1st birthday. That's just nuts! I haven't blogged since 4 months and SO much has changed. She's rolling over both ways, which is a lifesaver at night. She's able to scoot around 360 degrees on the ground. She's sitting up! She's getting up on all 4's, getting on her knees. It's only a matter of time before she's crawling! She's getting more chatty. Hasn't quite mastered any words, but so far we have "baba". We're not sure who that is. She's also quite grabby; grabbing toys, grabbing my drink, grabbing for Christmas ornaments. She's also in a discovering and smacking phase. She loves to play with our lips, nose and eyes and she smacks just about everything. She finally mastered eating solids. It's a great thing that she prefers veggies over fruit. So far she loves squash, carrots and green beans. Hates bananas...for now.

Sleep continues to be an issue, but is gradually improving everyday. We're working hard core on some sleep training to help our sanity. For Avery's 6 month birthday we took her to see Santa. She did great! She was fascinated by his beard, which was real. She managed to crack a couple smiles for the camera. I was worried because she had just finished a long photo shoot and was so tired and cranky.

She hasn't had her 6 month appointment yet, but I'm guessing she's still in the 75th percentile. She's pretty solid and has grown out of all of her 3 month clothes.

We can't believe it's been 6 months, but we fall more and more in love with her everyday. No matter how frustrated we get, her smile just melts our heart and makes everything better. I can't believe how fast she's growing. However, I am looking forward to the next 6 months :)

  1. Olivia hated bananas until she was able to eat the real thing. I can't say I blame her.
    I love hearing about the things that seem like a lifetime ago for me, Euen and Olivia.
    Hopefully we will meet Avery before she becomes a toddler. :)
