Peanut


Have I mentioned that we think this little girl is pretty amazing? 

She is already six months old (almost seven) and has become quite the mover over the last few weeks.  I set her down in one spot in the room and come back a few minutes later and she is often on the other side of the room, or under a piece of furniture, or stuck somewhere. 

She doesn't crawl yet, but she rolls and scoots and spins until she gets to what she wants.  She likes to straighten her legs and arms so she is in a pushup position.  She also likes to lift both arms and both legs off the floor and balance on her tummy.

 She has always been an awesome sleeper and continues to sleep through the night like a champ, even when she gets her leg stuck in the crib.

She doesn't nap quite as well.  She is a bit of a cat napper.  She likes to take short naps here and there throughout the day, and she naps best when snuggling with mom or dad or relaxing on the love sack.


 She loved her first time on the swings at the park. 

She likes riding in the stroller, especially when big brother is next to her.  She likes to relax, lean back, stretch her legs out and put them up on the bar.

 We love our little "peanut" so much.  She is such a happy and content baby, even when sick or teething.  We recently found out she likely has a milk allergy, and she has been great as we switched her to this disgusting and outrageously expensive formula.  It seriously smells terrible.  I can't imagine how it must taste.  She gagged and refused it the first time, but within a few days she made the switch and is doing much better. If it weren't for other symptoms, we wouldn't have known anything was wrong because she is so happy.  She loves to smile at anyone that will pay her some attention.  She loves to laugh, especially at her brother.  She brings so much joy into our house.  We think she is pretty amazing.
