6 Months

I cannot believe you are 6-months old!!  Its like I blinked and 1/2 a year passed.  You are getting to be such a big girl.  Just in the past week you have figured out how to get up on your hands and knees and rock back and forth.  Looks like we might have a crawler soon (which honestly scares Mommy a little bit!).

You love sucking on an ice cube in your mesh teether.
Your favorite toy is an empty water bottle that has been smashed.
You think the dogs are hilarious.
You still refuse to sleep at night (which we are working on).
You are really starting to have a voice - which Mommy Loves!
You still love to stare and smile and flirt with your Daddy.
You are starting to love your solids, especially prunes, pears & apples.

Speaking of sleep training.  We have been working on trying to get you to sleep longer stretches at night for about 2 weeks now.  Needless to say Mommy is tired from getting up with you all night long.  Mommy figures that one night you will have to sleep through the night because at this point you really do need your sleep.  We have tried to let you cry in intervals and go in and soothe you.  The other night you cried for 2-hours straight before you would even begin to settle.  Mommy layed on the floor in your room just listening to you cry.  It was so hard.  We will keep pushing through this and try to get you to sleep.  Mommy thinks that one day she will miss nursing you at 2 AM and watching you fall back asleep.  You are worth every lost hour of sleep though....for sure!
