6 Months

Oh Miss Olivia-

I was such a slacker this month and here you are just days away from 7 months and I'm just getting to this. I'll do my best to remember everything you did last month.

For starters, you did figure out how to get those cute toes in your mouth and it became one of your favorite pass times. Sometimes when I would lay you down for the night, your feet would automatically pop up and you would hold on tight, all while staying asleep. The other big thing you did last month was you learned to sit up! You started out a little tipsy but after a few days you had perfected the position, and loving it!

Your hair keeps getting blonder and longer. This month we were finally able to put it in a single pony, and then I even tried little piggies! They stick straight up on top of your head and Aunt Lindsay said they look like little antennae. I think they are darling.

You still love to eat new foods and like almost everything. We've tried lots of fruits and vegetables and the only thing you've rejected in green beans. Your little face was so cute all scrunched up when you tasted them. You were such a champ though and even tried a few more bites, until you just couldn't take it anymore. I didn't force it since they were pretty gross.

I took you to the doctor and you were so brave during your shots. Just a quick cry, then you gave me a hug and were back to smiles. Such a sweetheart. You weighed in around 15 lbs. 9 oz. and were about 24.5 inches long. Your head is still small (15th percentile) and so perfectly cute.

Your daddy and I love you more everyday (seems impossible since we already love you so much)! We love watching you grow and learn. You bring so much joy and happiness into our lives and we could not be more blessed than we are to have you.

Love,
Mommy
