6 months!

On October 16th, my baby turned 6 months old! Half of a year! 5 months was a rollercoaster for us. Emilia was the perfect baby at first. I kept saying, "Next time, let's just skip to 5 months!" Emilia was happy and sleeping well and so easy. At 5 and a half months though, demon Emilia returned and it has been rough. The last week has been the roughest week since she was a newborn. She whines to be held and then she whines to be put down. She sucks at napping. She wants to be outside all.the.time. even when it's cold and raining. At her 6 month appointment, we found out she has jumped into the 93rd percentile in height so I'm guessing that all the growing has been tough for her.

Even with all the whining and crying though, she is still awesome! She can sit by herself for a couple of minutes at a time and her crawling is starting to look more like real crawling instead of army crawling and she is fast! She is eating a little bit of real food now and it's fun to decide what she should try next. She is still great in the car and pretty good at restaurants. Really, as long as she is out and doing something she is happy. She is my beautiful, smart, sweet baby and I'm so excited to see what she learns next. Happy 6 months, Bubba Dirl!
