6 MONTHS!!!

One half of one year. That seems sooo long! Although, yes, it does seem like 'just yesterday' that she was born. Of course she's a lot bigger now and can do a whole lot more. So lets just go through the run-down:
~Weighs 15 lbs. 3 oz, 26 1/2" 35th percentile for weight and 75th for height. She didn't gain a whole pound this month but the doctor didn't worry about it, I think she's just so squirmy and so she's not very chubby! Takes after her dad, he cannot sit still for anything.
~Started crawling!! Yes, I guess she's a little early on this, but I've heard of baby's crawling even earlier. This probably means she'll be walking by 9 months because she's already pulling up on things to stand up.
~Babbles a lot and does so in response to us.
~Loooooves her mama! To such a degree that she's not too fond of other people now. Besides Tim, she loves her daddy too but with most other people she just cries when they hold her. Again, takes after her daddy, who was very shy when he was little.
~Working on sleeping, she doing a lot better! Last night she slept from 8 to 3:30 and then again until 7. I wasn't a big fan of 'crying it out' but we had to do something and when she was close to 6 months I felt ok letter her cry. I did it for about a week because she woke up every night around midnight but I knew she didn't need to eat. So I just hung out outside her room checking on her every few minutes and she would cry for about 20 minutes and then go back to sleep. I'd rather do it now than when she's a year when it'll be much more difficult. Again, I didn't want to do this too soon, and I feel like we started doing it at just the right time.
~She doesn't get to watch tv but sometimes we let her watch the Rangers play and she loooves it. I'm sure it's just the flashing colors and lights but we like to think she's an early baseball fan. :)
~Still loves to bounce in her various toys and baby apparati. The jumperoo is an awesome invention and hardly takes up any room! Exersaucer is good too but it's a little clunky.
~She loves the animals and will laugh and smile all day long at Maddie, oh and she grabs handfuls of Maddie's fur and so far Maddie hasn't minded too much!
~Is extremely interested in our food and is so ready to start eating so we're going to give that a shot this weekend!
~I know she has a sense of humor, I burped the other day and she looked at me and laughed! Too cute! She also "fake coughs" when I laugh at her for coughing, it's really cute.
~ I know there's more but I need to get going so I'll just add more when I can think of them.

Here are some updated monthly pics!! She wasn't too into smiling this morning but I'll try to get some smiley pics with her later.

Libby and Dr. Zatz, we will miss you!!


Growin' growin'!!



Not only crawling but climbing too! Yikes!!


I thought this one was so cute because it shows her little profile! So cute!

Loves her farm book! She loves to feel the dog's fur.
