6 months of pure JOY!

hey friends and fam-- just wanted to document what's going on in our world with 6 month old joybird.

so here are the well check stats:
weight = 13 lbs 14 ozs (10th % and exactly double her birth weight, by the way)
height = 25.25 inches (25-50th %)
head = 41.6 (25%)

what's goin on:
attempting to crawl (gets on all fours and rocks back and forth)

eating rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, and peas. favorites so far = oatmeal and carrots.



still screaming and squealing up a storm

her first attempt at making music. she decided to go with vocals instead of keys. surprise surprise.



taking strolls in our bob!! i repeat, strolls-- not jogs. because mom STILL has not committed to that whole thing called running that she used to love!!!

this picture wasn't supposed to be in the mix here. but anyway, here she is -- before our family christmas photo shoot, giving daddy "kissies".
not sure how this move is beneficial but she sure likes it and does it often.
playing "nicely" with pipes. she's started pulling piper's hair and i'm doing everything i can to keep this relationship thriving. i think they're growing to be fast friends.

my little blue-eyed babes.

check out that hair!!

sitting up all by her big self

proud.

trying to master "the sippie!!" this was also her first taste of water. didn't like it near as much as moms milk. i mean, who would?
growin some hair!!! slow but steady-- there is more than you think. it's kind of light in color and blends in nicely with her skin ;)

diaper changing has become quite the task lately...requiring two people in order to hold her down and keep her in position. she constantly wants to flip over and does it with much force. i think she's impressed with how fast and furious she can flip and wants to show it off at all times. we're not impressed, joybird! ;)

other than that, she has TWO TEETH (both on bottom) have yet to capture those on camera.... they kind of hide out under her tongue.

she now sleeps on her stomach

and she laughs laughs laughs!! i need to get that on video too. bebe and trey have named me "bozo the clown". because when bozo comes out to play, joy goes wild!! ;) vid to come. although, i'm not sure my blogging world needs to see my "bozo ways".

life is good for our little bundle of JOY!! we are loving all the joy paraphernalia that comes with the holidays. her name is everywhere and we're taking full advantage!

that's a wrap. 6 months (actually 6.5 now). best 6 months of my life!
