6 months!

Taking a little rest in the sun with Daddy.

My baby girl is growing up!! Do you think she favors me yet?

One of her favorite play spots.

My baby is six months old, y'all! How did that happen? Well, however it did I'm loving it. I love this age so much!! She's a sweet, snuggley little girl and is just precious and perfect. These days Cecily is scooting and rolling everywhere! It's so funny because I'll set her up in the middle of our living room with a pile of toys and I'll walk out of the room and when I come back she'll be waay on the other side! Gotta keep my eyes on this girl! She can sit up unassisted and does a really good job of keeping her balance and not toppling over. She's still working on moving from a seating position to lying back down so that sometimes gets the tears going when she does ker-flop over. I think that she can get up into a seated position by herself now too. This morning when I heard her crying in her bed she was sitting up! That was a big surprise but I should've seen it coming. Right now she's still in the pack-n-play thing but since Lib will be moving to a big girl bed *hopefully this weekend* little Cecily will soon be moved into the crib! I was hoping for Cecily to be sleeping more consistently at night before I moved her in with Libby but we might just have to try it out. On a good night Cecily will go down around 8pm and sleep until 3am when she'll wake to eat and will go back to sleep until about 7am. That happens about 1 every 4 nights, but it's getting more regular. It's more common for her to wake up a few other times and usually I am able to get her back to sleep by sneaking in and sticking the pacifier back into her mouth.
Our littlest one is still a happy, sweet, and charming little baby. Everyone comments on how big her smiles are and how happy she is to see people. Mama is her favorite person around but she loves it when Daddy holds her too. She also really likes the sweet ladies at the gym daycare and of course her two grandmothers and numerous other relatives.
The other day I gave her an apple slice to suck on and she went to town on that thing! You would've thought I'd given her an addictive substance the way she threw a fit every time she dropped it! I might start trying to give her some baby food here and there but I'm not in a big hurry. I'm waiting for a few more "signs" that she's ready. Plus, I don't want to interfere with breastfeeding quite yet. It's going well and I've even been able to pump a few ounces most days so I'm hoping to keep that up. I'll probably try to pump more when I do start feeding her just to keep my supply bumped up.
Well, I'd better get to cleaning', these little girls can destroy our living areas pretty fast! :)
