6 Months Later...

How could time have gone by that quickly?  I feel like I blinked and now Anna is 6 months old.  I kick myself everyday for not blogging more often.  I get so much joy out of going back to see all my updates from Caroline.  I just hope I can capture most of what has happened over the last 6 months here. 

Anna is such a special addition to our little family.  She's the calmest, most easy- going baby I've ever seen.  She sure does tolerate her big sister pretty well, too.  She's a good eater, a great night-time sleeper, a so-so napper and the happiest little thing you've ever seen.  Anna has a smile that is undeniably contagious and she probably spends 95% of her day smiling.

Milestone:

• 14 lbs. 10 oz (25%), 25 inches (50%) and head was 20%
• Wearing 3-6 month & 6 month clothes
• Wearing size 2 diapers
• Sitting up unsupported - still has the random fold-over and I saw her catching herself from tumbling backwards last night
• Eating rice cereal and Stage One baby foods - still haven't tried apples, pears or squash yet, though
• Absolutely mobile - but not yet crawling.  She can get clear across the room and under the furniture in a skinny minute; and I saw her on her hands & knees the other day!
• Starting to babble a little bit - she does need her tongue clipped, so that might be stopping her some
• Solely on breast milk - nursing in the morning & night, bottles in between
• Eats about every 3-4 hours

Likes: 

• Her big diamond ring rattle
• BIG SISTER Caroline - I really should do a post on how awesome of a big sister Caroline is
• Her lovey, Lamby 
• Peaches, bananas & sweet potatoes
• Talking to herself in the morning
• Squealing as loud as she can
• Rubbing her feet together (although, that annoys Mommy & Daddy because she does it when she's upset)
• Playing in front of the mirror & looking at herself
• Bathtime

Dislikes:

• Being left alone in a room...she likes ALL EYES ON HER!
• Green beans & peas - carrots are hit or miss

Um....I'm really stretching for the dislikes.  She's always so content! No, seriously, I really can't think of anything. 

Here's to hoping that I can keep up with blogging a little better.  Our life is so busy right now, but I sure wouldn't have it any other way.
