6 Months

Whitley,

I can't believe that you are already 1/2 a year old.  Time is going way faster than I would like for it too.  You are getting to be such a big girl and becoming more independent.  As you grow your personality grows as well.  You are still such a happy little girl (when your teeth aren't bothering you).  I know I have said this before, but when you smile your whole face lights up.  Here are just a few of the everyday things you are up to:

Sitting up:  CHECK You can sit in the floor and play with toys all day
Crawling: Almost!  You are really good at going backwards, turning around and rocking on your hands and knees, but still need to work on the forward motion.  You are working on that, you just started lunging forward.
Diaper Size:  You are still in Pamper Swaddlers Sensitive Size 2
Clothing:  3-6 for the most part.  You still can wear some of your 0-3 month clothes.
Weight:  I took you to the Dr. about a week and a half ago and you were weighing 13.2 lbs (with your clothes on)!
Height:  You have your 6 month Dr. appointment next week and that is when they will measure you.
Feedings:  You are still primarily nursing but you have started eating a little bit of rice cereal in the evenings.

I am so proud of you!  You make all of my bad days better.  I love you so very much and you are getting more beautiful everyday.  You change so much from day to day.  I still have no idea what color your eyes are going to be.  Sometimes they are blue with brown in the middle and then other days they look more all brown.  I guess only time will tell with that.

I have been contemplating putting you in your bed in your room at nights.  Until I make up my mind you are still sleeping in the pack -n- play in our bedroom.  That is a big decision for me to make.  I'm pretty sure daddy is wanting me to start you in your room soon because you have been waking up earlier than normal (about 5:30 am) and he isn't a morning person so doesn't like it very well.

I love you baby girl!  You are perfect and beautiful in every way.

Love you sweet girl,

Mommy
