6 Months

MaKenna you are a whole Half of a year old today. Mommy cannot believe how much you are growing and how fast you are growing. Sometimes I swear you have grown over night. You are now sitting up all by yourself!! And you love this new found skill b/c it gives you a different perspective on the world. You can roll all over the place. You are slowly learning to use your legs to scoot forward and I imagine by this time next month you may have figured out how to use your arms as well to crawl. How will I ever keep up with you then and we want even think about when you are walking.
   You are such a busy body always into something. Daddy would probably say you get this from me. HE gets so mad at mommy sometimes b/c she want just lay on the bed or couch with him I want to be doing something. But what I would give to just lay on the couch with him right now. Who am I kidding I might be able to for 10 min and then I would be begging him to go for a walk together or something. But you are constantly moving or playing you like for me to hold you but you don't want to sit down to do it you want to walk!! You of course still love being in my carrier which is how we do everything from house work and cooking to Mommy using the bathroom. TMI??
   You started Daycare this month and seem to love being around all the other kids You are grinning every time I come to pick you up. They have been very welcoming to you so much so that they gave you a snotty nose and you in turn practiced your sharing skills and gave it to momma. Which we then past back and forth for about 2 weeks. But hopefully we are on the mend. Mommy didn't like it and wanted to take you back out of Daycare but I reminded myself over and over you have to develop your immune system sometime and it is best to do it now. So I will do it but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
   You are a great eater. The only things you have tried that you don't like are Field peas, barley and mango. I am a little upset about the peas, Mommy loves peas. and I hope you will learn to like them when they have the good seasonings in them. Mango I don't blame you neither do I. Barley I believe you may like if I can ever figure out how to cook it right.
  You go to bed around 7 or 7:30 every night which is great for mommy when we are at home but we are defiantly the party poopers when we are with family and friends. This month you have been waking up 2 or 3 times a night. I think that the runny nose had something to do with this, but also maybe a growth spurt. Then you wake up around 6 every morning and we are slowly getting on a nap schedule for daycare of 12- 2.
  You are Mommy's baby girl and I love you so much I can't wait to see what new and exciting things you will learn this month.
