6 Months

My sweet sunshine, you are 6 months old now and have mastered some new skills.  You are getting better and better at sitting all by yourself.  I can't walk away from you yet because you do eventually fall over, but you love to sit and are doing pretty well.

You are very good at tummy time and can lift your upper body all the way off the floor.  No scooting or crawling yet, but you can rotate around in a circle!

You still don't roll either.  I tricked you into rolling from your back to tummy once and that's the only time you've ever done it.  You rolled to your side and the bottom half of your body was completely turned over.  You just needed to get the top half over, so I put my cell phone just out of your reach knowing that you would go for it.  When you you tried to grab it, you couldn't help but roll the rest of the way over.  And that is the one and only time you've rolled.  I think you might just skip it and crawl instead.

You still don't laugh a whole lot, but one day you thought your sister was the most hilarious thing around and were laughing out loud.  It was so fun to watch and is the best sound there is.  You absolutely adore your sister.  I love watching the two of you together, it really is the sweetest thing.

You love to talk and babble away saying babababa and when you are upset, it sounds like you are crying mamama.  You also make a sound like ba-bo and daddy says you're saying bubble.

You are very animated and have the most expressive eyebrows.  I love your eyebrows and have noticed from the very beginning how expressive they are.  And when you're happy, your legs are kicking nonstop.

You started showing signs of separation anxiety and get upset when you can't see me.  This past month it has been very difficult to put you down.  You want mommy all the time.  It's ok with me, but does make it hard to get things done.

We haven't given you food yet, but we need to do that soon because you are very interested.

I think that's about it.  Oh and you like to smack your lips and blow air out your mouth.  You are very proud of your new tricks.

I love you so much sunshine and can't wait to see what changes the next month brings.

By the way, even though this post is late, I did start it over a week ago.  So it's not as late as it looks, I swear!
