Just Yesterday...

...I was bringing Lydia home from the hospital in 90+ degree weather and cuddling with her infant body on the couch savoring the smell of newborn baby and cherishing the miracle that had once again been placed in my care...

one day old

and now she is 6 MONTHS OLD! Where has the time gone? She's half a year old and I don't believe it!

one month-her blessing day

2 months-already discovering that tongue

3 months-happy as ever

4 months-my princess!

5 months-all squished in her bumbo!

almost 6 months (but close enough without digital technology)
  • she is sitting (has been for a month) unsupported
  • she has 3 teeth-the first arriving three days after she turned four months old-with the fourth one about to break through
  • she is very alert and aware of those around her, becoming quite the flirt with anyone who will notice her
  • she has mommy separation anxiety-she's getting better
  • she already wrestles with the kids
  • she's about to get her first haircut
  • she is 20.4 lbs. (if only that meant I could turn her carseat around, she would be a MUCH happier traveler)
  • she wears 18-24 mo. clothing-slightly big, but better than short on the arms and tight on the legs
  • she loves oatmeal and mixed cereal (not a fan of rice-at all)
  • she enjoys her veggies
  • she LOVES table food better than anything and really enjoys when dad is home (he snitches more to her than I do)
  • she sleeps 9-12 hours at night
  • she does NOT take a nap that lasts longer than 20 minutes (on rare occassions it COULD happen)
  • she is a chatterbox-taking after her mom
  • she loves her siblings
  • she has a special smile for her mama
  • she adores her daddy
I'm sure the next 6 months will FLY by, especially as she becomes more mobile ;)


Happy HALF birthday LYDIA D!!!
