6 Months

Addi - 6 Months - 15 lbs 12 oz.
Here is a few of things she has achieved this month:


Yes folks, those are her toes, a delicious treat.

She has fun playing peek-a-boo. She will grab whatever is near and pull it over her face which in turn elicits the Moro reflex (startle reflex). But she pulls herself together quickly and slides the item out of the way to see if you noticed. It's a great game for everyone.

Yummy! She's moved on from just eating her toes. The first dish of rice cereal! In my effort to document this event, I got everything ready and then went to grab the camera (which was just in the other room). When I returned, Ella was sitting up on the chair feeding Addi. She was actually doing an okay job! So, this isn't really the first bite, more like the third. : )

A few weeks later, we introduced vegetables. Mmmmmmm, squash.

Addi has a new way to exercise. This jumperoo is great for everyone. Addi gets exercise and entertainment, and Mom and Dad get the use of their arms for a little while.

Are you familiar with the song, "I Cry the Day I Take the Tree Down" by Michael McLean? Well, my version is, "I Cry the Day I Transition My Baby to the Crib." I love having my babies close to me (no, they don't sleep in my bed, just in the bassinet next to my bed).

And finally, two more pictures from our portrait session. She's definitely got eyes like her sister.

What a big-eyed beauty! I am so jealous that she eats other food so well. Natalie is STILL refusing to swallow any solids.

Wow! She is growing up sooo fast! And she is looking more like Ella every day. I also love the facial expressions she already has. Yay for babies!

Angela said...

Wow, I love that last picture! I know how you feel about moving them into their own room. THey usually do fine, it's me who has a hard time letting them go. They seem to grow up way too fast!

She is an absolutely gorgeous baby. Although, with her being Ella's sister, are we really surprised. It looks like you are having so much fun with both of them. We wish we could see them more!
