Sarah - 6 months

Has it really been 6 months?   Wasn't I just pregnant?!?  This baby girl is so squishy.  Really, that's the best word for her because I want to squeeze her all the time.  Those chubby cheeks and that big smile just about send me over the egde.

6 months is a great age.  It's the calm before the moving and grooving storm.  You know what I mean - she's interactive but not mobile : )  However, Sarah, has reached the stage where she wants to be held all the time and she only stays content with an activty (e.g. - swing, playmat, etc) for about 6 minutes before she asks (i.e. cries) for something else.  She also hates to see me leave the room.  Poor baby - I promise that I'll come back in like 20 seconds!!

This was a big month for Sarah because she started eating solid foods.  It's a very messy job but she's getting the hang of the spoon, I think.  She sleeps through the night about 5-6 nights a week which really is such a blessing.  I'm thankful because I know that can easily change without notice : )  She's playing in the exersaucer now, which she doesn't love but tolerates.  She pulls her socks off right after I put them on and she puts everything in her mouth.  She can sit up for about 3 seconds : )

She loves to touch my face.

... and, as usual, she's a spit up machine and she enjoys that thumb : )
