5 & 6 Months

These months are just flying by, I can't keep up!  However, I'm thankful for technology where I can write down milestones and changes and write them out later!  Time doesn't wait for us to catch up - and the girls just keep on growing and changing!

 

 

5 Months (01.27.16)

Hallie Ann -

You are 5 months old already!  You are so full of smiles and a joy to be around.  Such a content baby.  You love to watch your sister and giggle at her so easily.  You are interacting with her more and you both seem to love it!

You are ALWAYS trying to sit up and need to see what’s going on.  It’s hard to feed you these days because you are always distracted.  You even have a hard time sitting in your bouncy seat or rock n play.  You pull yourself up on the sides to see what’s going on around you.  Time to keep you strapped in at all times for safety!

You found your toes this month and love to pull at your socks.  You also have started rubbing the top of your hair when you get sleepy.

You are starting to push yourself around on the floor - mostly backwards but you are definitely becoming mobile and don’t stay in one spot anymore.  You’re all over the crib too!

We love watching your personality develop and you are growing so fast.  We love you, sweet girl!

6 Months (02.27.16)

Hallie Bear -

6 months?!?  Wow… time really flies.  I remember reaching this stage with your sister and feeling like I finally had a “normal” routine with a new baby figured out.  Now I wish you would slow down a little! :)  

You are busy.  You flap your arms up and down and giggle more.  Before we used to have to do something to make you laugh, but now you anticipate things before they happen and it is so much fun to hear your baby giggles and belly laughs.

You love to sit by Kenna, and she is loving helping with you more as you realize what’s going on.  You flutter your lips like a trumpet a lot.  We’ve had a few laughs in church because you get a little noisy sometimes!

You roll in every direction now - nothing is safe!  You even started getting up on your knees this month and started rocking back and forth.  You are so determined, little one.

You also started eating cereal and a couple veggies this month.  So far you have eaten everything we have tried.  You are almost 16 pounds and we love your little leg rolls.  You are so lovable and kissable!
