- Learned to crawl. (The official opposite hand/opposite leg crawling began the day before she turned 6 months old!) And crawl faster and faster. And crawl up the single step up in Mimi's sunken breakfast room. Now she can scale one side of the house to the other in no time.
- Learned to sit up independently (which came after the crawling...peculiar!).
- Pulled up. It happened in her crib on 10-28-15...6 months 4 days. We lowered the crib that night. NANCY, YOU ARE BONKERS.
- ...and pulled up on unsteady things like her exersaucer (11-7-15). Now she is pulling up on anything and everything...including the toilet seat as I was brushing my teeth yesterday morning.
- Started to "cruise" between furniture like her anywhere chair and our pouf in the playroom.
- Got her first tooth on 11-9-15. (She has another on the bottom that joined it. You can barely see them poking through in the picture above!)
- Tried lots of foods and now has a [hilarious] water cup too since she spent nearly all month trying to steal mine.
- Sits in her new high chair during dinner each night and has tried lots of new foods (spinach + avocado, chick peas + banana, chickpeas + avocado, as well as apples, bananas, and frozen strawberries through the fruit feeders).
- Added a little "ma" to the "bababa" she says. She might not know what she's saying, but it sure does melt my heart every time a "mama" comes out.
- Does this sniffy snort scrunched nose thing (that makes her really look like my mom!).
- Started to grow a lot more hair (though she still looks bald in pics). It is starting to thicken.
- Began showing when she wants someone...in sweetness and in anger. She'll reach for who she wants and get really mad (or sad) if they person she wants doesn't pick her up. :)
- Is trying so hard to wave!!!
It has been SUCH a big month in the world of Nancy Hope. I am trying so hard to cling to and savor each moment. I've got all of the emotional mama feels over here with how much has changed over the past 30 days! Side note, Nancy, if your future brother(s)/sister(s) want to slow it down and NOT start all of this nonsense so early, tell them I am TOTALLY okay with it.
You got your first letter in the mail--a Halloween card from Granmimi and Chief--and you loved it. It occupied you in the high chair for a solid 15 minutes. :)
Being a ham with mommy and daddy at Lowes.
Pull-ups with daddy in your way too small Hanna Anderson pajamas that I'm so sad to see you outgrow because I love them so much!
We still love our Ergo 360 and use it almost daily. You also still judge on a daily basis and dressed up as a judge for Halloween.
First day of spinach + avocado, success. Day two? Disgust.
I'm not stressing about anything food/food schedule with you. We are still breastfeeding, so most of this food stuff is just for fun at dinnertime. :) I'm one of those mamas that really loves breastfeeding, and even though we've had our first biting incident this month with those new teeth (ouch), we are still going strong. I'm happy about it.
I spy those 2 teethies coming through!!!
Your reaction when I took you away from Tina's food and water bowl. See the brown crumbs on your face? Yep...busted.
Hey, little fuzzy hair blondie!
You're in size 3 diapers and wearing all sorts of clothing sizes depending on the brand. For example, Carters seems to run small while Old Navy/Gap runs huge on you and Hanna Anderson runs just right.
At your 6 month appointment (which was last week...so you were 8 days shy of 7 months old months old), you weighed 17 lbs14.5 oz (72%), measured 26.75" tall (68%), and you will always have that big noggin like your mama (92%).
Loves: all dogs, crawling after dogs and getting in their beds, the dogs' food and water bowls, playing tug-of-war with Tina and her toys, watching Doxie and Tina tickle fight, remote controls, electrical outlets, wires, tags, tags on wires, bath time, pulling hair, sharing apples with mommy, peekaboo, banging the silver rattle on Mimi's hurricane candle holder to make a loud noise , when daddy gets home from work, crawling as fast as you can into Mimi/Grandmimi/Auntie Hope/Uncle Eric's arms when they come see you
Loathes: Teething, getting in and out of her carseat multiple times back to back (homegirl is over it when she's in and out and in and out), staying still enough to read a book, staying still during diaper/clothes changes, having a dirty diaper
You are our JOY. Daddy and I have purchased nearly every Christmas thing that says joy on it because it reminds us of you and how you've shown us a deeper joy and love than we've ever known. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
