SIX MONTHS!!

Sweet Quinny, you are six months old (as of September 1st) and are just SO fun!! This month:

• You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and size 2 diapers.
• You weigh 15lbs 14oz (50th percentile) and you are over 26 inches long (50th percentile). You're long and skinny just like Mommy and Daddy were as babies!
• You are finally starting to get in a decent sleep routine - it only took half a year! :)
• You still usually nap twice a day - one short nap in the morning and another longer nap in the afternoon.
• You still do well with both bottles and nursing and will eat a few solids (mostly sweet potatoes and pears).
• You gag until you throw up if you don't like what we're feeding you - quite dramatic!
• You had a couple weeks where you refused all food except breast milk. We think you just wanted to prove that you're in control. :)
• You try to sit-up, but usually fall over because you get so excited about sitting up. 
• You can roll all the way across the room, and will not stay on a blanket. You like to go for leaves and grass at school when you have outside time on your blanket. 
• You sing and babble ALL.THE.TIME. 
• You are seriously the happiest baby 99% of the time. There is usually a big smile on your face most of the day! 
• You have the most beautiful gummy grin.
• You put EVERYTHING in your mouth! Anything you get your hands on goes straight in your mouth.
• You will play in your jumper for a little bit, but usually prefer to be on the floor. You love the exersaucer at Nanny's house though - you keep yourself entertained forever.
• Much to Mommy's dismay, you pull almost every bow off about .000001 seconds after it's on. You like to smile really big after you do that. 
• You like to people watch and will smile really big at just about anyone that will give you attention. 
• You and Emma have become extra interested in each other. You'll be the best of friends when you can actually play with her. 
• Your hair is SO long on top and is finally getting a little longer on the sides. 
• You still laugh SO hard every time you see Papa. He can always get you to babble and scream so loud! 

We love you SO much baby girl. These first six months have gone by incredibly fast with each month getting better and better. We don't want you to grow so fast, but each stage has been SO fun!!!!!! We're getting into the fall season and know it's going to be the best fall we've ever had as a family. Love you to the moon and back sweet girl!
