Lilah: 6 Months

My Sweet Girl,

Happy Half Birthday! We celebrated your six month birthday on Christmas Eve. I can easily say that this year was the best Christmas by far!! You made this year so much fun and I just know each year is only going to get better!!

You continue to amaze us every single day with all the little things you do. Your sweet, little personality is really starting to show more and more! It is apparent already that you are going to be a daddy's little girl. You just love your "Papa." He'll walk in the room and your sweet face just lights up as soon as you see him! You also love your big brother, Dread. You've just really started to notice him and love watching him. He'll come up to you and give you a big kiss on your little chunky cheeks which makes you laugh.

You are just growing and developing right before our eyes. At your six month well-visit you weighed 17 lbs, 4 ozs (75th percentile) and were 27 inches long (90th percentile). Dr. A said you're going to grow up to be a super-model if you keep growing at this rate! :)

Shortly after your 6 month birthday, you began sitting up on your own. You just love sitting up by yourself with all of your toys around you. Your favorite toy right now is the musical kitchen set you got from Santa. We are starting to wonder if we've got a little dancer on our hands because each time you make the music come on you start to dance! :) Papa likes to say you get your dancing skills from him...bless your heart! No, really though...Daddy is a good dancer so this is a good thing. :)

You are doing so good with eating solids. So far you've tried green beans, sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, squash and apples. You've loved them all except you weren't too crazy about sweet potatoes.

You are rolling around like crazy. I'm sure it won't be too much longer before you're crawling.

You are discovering your voice and use it often! :) You've recently started squealing and screaming because you can! We'll yell back at you and then you yell back at us. It's become a fun a little game for you.

You are teething like crazy right now. You've got three big teeth on the bottom. Those frozen teethers have become you new favorite thing along with our fingers and momma's necklaces.

Oh baby girl, you are our world and we just love you so very much! Happy 6 months!
