To Blake...a 6 month update

I can't believe it has already been 6 months! On one hand I feel like it was just yesterday that we were at the hospital... but on the other, I feel like you have been here forever. (ooohhh, please don't enlarge that picture...yikes) You have made such a smooth entrance into our lives. I did not know what to expect when you got here but you are so much better than I could have ever imagined! We love you so much more than I can explain. I hope that your life is full of love and happiness. Your daddy and I will do our best to make sure of that!!!

Blake Facts:

You have just started holding your own bottle.

Holding your own bottle is tiring!!




• You scoot all over the place. My least favorite place that you scoot to?? off of the carpet and on to the tile. Why? because you like to lick it.

• You started getting on your hands and knees ready to crawl when we were in Arkansas.

• You love to watch Lola play.
  
• You don't laugh a lot but you smile ALL of the time.
  
• You growl when you are frustrated or bored or just because you want to.
  
• You have started making this fake cough sound when you want attention.
  
• I can lay you down at night for bed and you put yourself to sleep.
  
• You sleep until 8:30 or 9:00!! Mommy loves that!!!
  
• When you take a bath you suck on a finger puppet the whole time you are in there. It's kind of gross but it makes you really happy.
  


• You LOVE to be outside.
  


• Your favorite song (and has been since the beginning) is You are My Sunshine. You can be screaming and we will sing it to you and you calm down immediately.


• You can put your pacifier back in your mouth. I lifesaver for me at 4:30 in the morning!


• You are really good at eating baby food...most of the time.


• You make me really happy when you try to roll over while I am changing your diaper. I love that...


• You give the sweetest kisses.

When you wake up in the mornings you never cry, you just talk in your crib until someone comes in to get you.

I love you, sweet girl!! Happy 6 month birthday!!
