Six Months!






So, i remember when it was just me and Bode, the time did NOT go by so quickly. And i also remember feeling that, FINALLY, at 6 months, I was functioning again. Thankfully, with subsequent children, i have bounced back a little bit faster. The time has flown. I can't believe Soren is 6 months.

At six months, Soren:
  • has a fuzzy little head! It's so cute seeing her fine baby hair grow in.
  • a foodie. She loves to nurse. She loves to eat solids. She usually eats solids for breakfast and dinner.
  • is very very vocal. Lots of squeaking, shrieking and squawking. All happy, fun noises. She pulls those noises out when she thinks she doesn't want to be in bed. Nice try!
  • is rolling like crazy. If i put her on her back, she immediately rolls to her belly.
  • has her two front teeth! Darling.
  • gets up on her hands and knees and rocks. i guess she's threatening to crawl, but isn't yet. She pivots around in circles when she's on her belly.
  • is a big girl. She completely fills out her 6-12 month clothes. We'll see what she weighs when she has her well-check next week.
  • likes to put her feet in her mouth when she's on her back.
  • enjoys the exersaucer.
  • does a "no-no-no" head shake that i can't get enough of.
  • reaches out to be picked up.
The boys are still madly in love with her, and the feelings are mutual. It's been a joy to watch my boys love their sister.
