payton ~ 6 months

My baby is getting so big...all grown up it seems. She is the big '6 months' now!

 

 

 

 

 

At this 'Half Year Mark' you...

• are finally eating some food and not just a bottle. You still prefer your bottle, but we are feeding you with food anyway...to keep you full and help you grow. :)
• Are sitting up all by yourself! We have to sit you that way...but you will stay sitting up for a VERY long time just play with your toys.
• Love making noise...you love to hear yourself babble!
• Soooo enjoy being outside! With some of the nice weather we have had, you have spent a lot more time outside and love it. Your favorite part is sitting on the front porch watching the cars go by. Your little head go back and forth watching them. :)
• Continue to smile ALL the time...and so precious that smile is. People stop mommy and daddy in the stores and talk about you being the "happiest baby" they have "ever seen." It's true! You are happy the majority of the time and will smile at anyone.
• Are scooting backwards! Almost crawling! You will get up on your knees and rock, but then you just laugh and fall down on your belly. The scooting thing is pretty impressive though. We will put you on the floor with some toys and within minutes you have scooted across the room...and cry because you want your toys!!!
• Are pulling hair! You want to grab everything and put it in your mouth...including people's hair if you can get your hands on it. Mommy has to put hers back a lot so you don't pull it out.
• have retired from the Bumbo...kind of sad. :( We can only put you in it if we are right next to you because....you will just flip out of it. You lean over the side as hard as you can and over it goes! I can't put it on the counters anymore while I'm cooking...and that kept you so entertained before.
• are growing up little girl...too fast. :)

Happy Half Birthday, Payton Joy!
