You've been here for six months now. In some ways it feels like the blink of an eye, while at the same time I can barely remember what life was like without you!
You have brought an immense amount of pure joy to our home. I knew your sisters would be excited when you were first born, but after six months, they still get excited whenever I ask them to help with you. Just tonight Addison tried to rock you to sleep at bedtime, but you were more interested in playing still.
People have been commenting on how early you have started doing things (like sitting), and how alert you are. I always tell them that it's mostly because of your awesome sisters! They love to play with you in the living room and have taught you to sit, roll, and now they are working on crawling. "Mom look! Sadie is in the crawling position!" Is a sentence I hear often. I always look over to an excited girl, and you, looking up with a big proud smile on your face.
You started solid food last week. Watching you was entertaining enough, but your sisters added to it. Every time you get into the highchair, your own little cheering squad gathers around for moral support and plenty of "oh she's so cute!" So far your favorites are. ..everything you have put in your mouth. You love food, especially when you get to feed yourself. You've tried yogurt, chicken, brocolli, pasta, banana, avocado and applesauce so far. Oh, and mashed potatoes, which you love!
You are one loved little girl, and you totally know it. We all love your personality...you are content and happy almost all of the time. Whenever someone smiles at you, you reward them with a huge toothless grin, and usually a wave of your arm. You don't play strange yet (and I hope it stays that way!).
You love to snuggle with me, but if I can't hold you at the time, you'll happy snuggle with your sisters or your dad. You are happy to sit beside your sisters on the couch and watch them read or play video games. Your favorite activity is when one of us lays on the floor to play with you. You are really starting to get around when you play. You're not crawling yet, but you've got a combo of rolling and inching around like a caterpillar that seems to be working for you.
In just a few short weeks, we get to spend our first Christmas with you, as a family of 7, and I can't wait. You are going to love Christmas. The lights, the fun, and the crinkly wrapping paper :) I have always loved the first of all my girls' Christmases.
OK, I'm going to try and get some sleep now. You'll be up in a couple hours for your .middle of the night feeding :)
Happy 6 months, little girl. I love you!
