6 Months

Six Months ago I had a teeny tiny newborn. I cannot believe how fast the first half of Eliza's first year has flown. It's really rather sad and yet I am looking forward to seeing her grow and change even more in the next 6 months.

Her 6 month stats:

Weight: she was 13 lbs. 13 oz. at the doc. on Monday. She was 10% for weight, 25% for height and 10% for Head Circumference. She has grown a lot since birth, but my peanut is still a peanut! Does anyone else break into a cold sweat when their child gets weighed at the doc? Probably not unless you have a tiny child and are worried they haven't grown enough! My doc. said she is fine...just tiny and petite.

Likes: Eliza loves her sissy! Despite the pokes and rolls...Ella can always make her smile and more recently laugh a lot too! She likes getting in mommy's bed for early morning snuggles! She likes to play in her exersaucer. She likes to pull her paci in and out of her mouth. She has a little blankie square that she is recently starting to like. She likes to ride in the car and stroller...they always put her to sleep! She likes to be held and she likes to pull hair now. She loves to roll around and play with the tags on her toys. She has taken quite a liking to her daddy and smiles anytime he plays with her! She loves bananas, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, and green beans and peas, but will only eat them for mommy! When Kev tries to feed her she won't open her mouth for him!!! Lucky Him!! She loves taking a bath and loves to be held. She is constantly trying to sit up! We say she is gonna have some great little abs because she is constantly doing this...

Dislikes: She is not such a fan of rice cereal...although we are continuing to get some in her each day. She is such an easy baby that I cannot think of a lot she dislikes!

Looks: We get told most often that she looks like my dad and my nephew Landon...but in a tiny little girl way! She seems to have a light brown hair. I am wondering if it will lighten in the sun this summer! She has blue eyes like her mommy, daddy and sissy! We think she is so Beau-ti-ful!!!

Personality: So far Eliza has been an easy and content baby! I am so thankful...because the last six months have been rather trying with a certain little two year old. She goes to sleep at 8 and sleeps until around 5:30-6:00 am. She was sleeping until 6:30-7:00am but teething and rolling around in her bed caused for some new sleep disruptions. She does go right back to sleep after eating at 5:30 or 6:00 until around 8 or her sissy wakes her up! Last week was such a rough week for her sleeping! She had a little cold, teething, and no longer could be swaddled due to her rolling! We had lots of issues like this to deal with....

Yes, she does have a cute little room and crib, but prefers to sleep in the little crib in mommy's room (or I should say mommy prefers her to sleep in my room)! She does nap in her room in the day! We do what works for us and I assure you she won't sleep in our room forever!

Eliza, I love everything about you!! God did such a great job creating you into a precious and cute little girl! You are the perfect addition to our family and I thank the Lord for blessing me with you! Happy 6 month Birthday!
