6 months

I’m a little late posting about our 6 month old, but better late than never (these pictures are from August, but I’m not sure where the camera cord is to upload more recent pictures. The video is from today, though)! We can’t believe how big she is.

She is SUCH good girl and we can’t get enough of her. She is so happy and content. She can make anyone who looks at her smile. She loves to reach her heads above her head, and lately loves to hold the long hairs on the top of her head. Especially when she’s tired. She is mostly a good sleeper, but lately tends to wake up a lot in the night (binkies put her right back to sleep, but still…). I blame teeth? She loves to pull hair and gives great slobbery kisses.

She’s a momma’s girl when she’s sad or tired, but loves to play with Dad. She doesn't like bottles, but is starting to love eating. She loves bananas, and really likes peaches, pears, and apple sauce. She acts like she’s dying whenever most vegetables enter her mouth, although she does like an occasional bite of sweet potatoes (not much more than a bite though!) and does okay when they are mixed with fruit. I didn’t know babies could be so dramatic when they ate. It took William a while to realize he could spit stuff out, or just not open his mouth. He’d just sit there, whimpering as we fed him. She, however, has learned early.

She makes the best faces right before she happily screams and squeals. She loves to suck on her toes, especially when she’s just in a diaper or in her birthday suit. She rolls EVERYWHERE, has been getting up on her hands and knees (or toes) for a while now, and even rocks back and forth, but no crawling yet. However, if she wants something, she some how manages to make her way over to it. She no longer sits content on my lap at church. She is a mover! She sits up really well. She loves the tub, and she loves the pool. She is getting to be quite the splasher, and doesn’t get mad when her head goes under. I think we have two little fishies in the family!

She loves people. The other night we were having dinner at the food court, and there was a guy at the table next to us who looked like he wanted to be anything but social. Annie sat there staring at him until he looked at her and she just beamed at him. You could tell he was trying hard not to smile, let alone look at her, but he kept giving her tiny smiles, and glancing over at her from the corner of his eye.

She loves her family, particularly her big brother. She loves to be by him, and touch him (he’s not as big of a fan of that). She loves his Woody. All three of them (big, little, and medium). Luckily he has three, so he’ll usually share one with her. She loves his cars, but she loves dolls and stuffies. Way more than he ever got into them!

We sure love watching her grow!
