Happy 6 Months Young, Baby Girl!
My Little Miss,
It feels like just yesterday when I was holding you in my arms for the very first time. Oh my how time flies! But you've grown so much in this short period of time, it absolutely amazes me! You've developed your own personality and attitude... just like mommys. You have the brightest, most beautiful smile I have ever seen! I cannot begin to tell you how much your smile and happiness makes me feel. An infinite amount of joy fills my heart seeing how happy you are. Each and every day, you are who I live for!
I love you so much boo bear!
I've started spoiling you (that's a lie, you've been spoiled since day 1), letting you taste and chew on some of mommys food. Just yesterday, you had some of mommys potato (mashed for you, of course). You really are an excellent eater! Before we know it, you'll be picking up your own fork and spoon. But let's not rush it! I enjoy giving you your bottles and feeding you baby food from the spoon. You're still on the same formula since day 1, Gerber Good Start. And it is working great for you. Now you are taking up to 8ozs at a time! So big! In the morning, you get oatmeal and a baba, for lunch baby food and a small baba, dinner, and then your night time baba with cereal. You are on a great schedule that seems to be working pretty well! You were 6lbs 10oz at birth and are now 16lbs! Whoa mama!
Go baby, go baby!
One of your favorite activities, is playing in your jumpie-roo (is what we call it). Grabbing and playing with all the toys and gadgets. This keeps you pretty occupied and active. You love watching Baby First TV! I even downloaded the app on my Iphone for you :) You have great control over your hands, you love playing with mommys necklace and taking towels, my phone, toys, etc out of my hand! You've started grabbing your bottles and holding them,
so I'm sure you'll be feeding yourself in no time!
My buddy, wherever I go, she goes ; )
Every morning, I rub your back gently and whisper "good morning sun, it's a good morning love". You smush your face into your blankie, slowly opening your eyes with a smile! You know it's going to be another great day! Monday thru Friday, off to gmas we go because mommy has to work. She takes great care of you and sometimes I believe she loves you more than her own children! But I guess that's what grandmas and grandpas are all about!
Awe Ceepy Baby!
You hardly seem to be taking naps anymore! You have your occasional cat nap which last about 10 minutes, then you're ready to play again! You are such a good night night sleeper, bed time is usually around 10pm. We bring you up to bed, let your head rest on your pillow and fast asleep you go! You like holding your blankie and bobo. Once you are asleep, in your bed you go :) You have been sleeping through the night since you were 2 months old, which was just in time for mommy to go back to work. It's a blessing to get a full night sleep, so thank you for that!
Well baby girl, it's been a great 6 months, better than I ever could've expected or asked for! I'm looking forward to planning and celebrating your first Birthday, hearing those very first words and watching you take those first steps! Before I know it, you'll be walking, talking and not so much a baby. I plan on holding onto and cherishing these days where you're more dependent on me than not.
I loves being your momma ; )
I promise you that I will always stand by your side and be the best mommy ever!
I love you mama!
