Sweet angel.

With your strawberry-blond hair, petite little body, and sweet spirit, you light up our lives.

Horribly redundant, but it must be said...you are growing way too fast. It's been half of a year since your incredible entry into this world...your arrival is seeming to be more and more true to your character. Blessed. Sweet. Miraculous. Peaceful.

In the last month, you:

-started sitting up unassisted!

-have changed your tongue preference from "lizard-like" to inside your mouth while puckering your lips.

-have started getting more hair, which is getting blonder.

-went through a week of separation anxiety...when Mommy left the room, you would notice and get sad.

-have attached yourself to a blankie and a little pig (note to self, get photos of both).

-still are a sweet sweet little girl who loves her brothers and specifically adores her oldest brother.

-are getting very wiggly...please don't crawl anytime soon!

-love love love the water! You kick your little legs, blow bubbles in the water and love floating on your baby float...be it in the lake or a pool...you're a fish...you even put your face in the water!

Happy six months, sweetie, we love you so very much!
