6 months old!

Today my baby girl is 6 months old. My goodness how time flies. I saw a newborn the other day and it brought tears to my eyes thinking how recently it was that I was bringing her home yet at the same time it's like she's been here forever. I feel the same way about how quickly time has passed with Trevor too!

Jayden is getting so big! She's quite a little chunky girl. Mama's milk is doing her good! She will have her check up next week so I'll have her official stats then.

Current developments Jayden is working on:

~ She's very mobile by rolling or army crawl, she manuevers in every direction with her arms

~ She's developing a sense of humor - she laughs when you are silly or make faces at her

~ She prefers to have playtime in the playroom with Trevor

~ She gets mad at Trevor sometimes when he gets in her face too much or takes a toy away

~ She's getting really good at manipulating little objects with her fingers. She can put her binkie in her mouth if she wants to. But usually she's not that interested in it.

~ She giggles sometimes but usually expresses delight with a squeal followed by a "gah" sound almost like a gurgle

~ She's getting really close to sitting on her own. She can sit with just a little support

~ She tries to climb out of the lower part of the bassinet/co-sleeper

~ She likes to jump in her jumperoo and giggles if you bounce her. She also likes to sit in her walker

~ She's got a pretty short attention span and needs frequent changes of scenery or she gets bored

~ Just the last few days she has some vocalization when she's cranky. It sounds like she's saying either mum or mam. Is she working on saying mama?

~ She likes to stick out her tounge when she grins or pretty much anytime

~ She gets mad when Trevor sticks his finger in her mouth because she's stuck out her tongue

~ She fights going to sleep and she prefers to sleep in her bassinet than beside me in bed (big contrast to Trevor)

~ She can sleep through the night but most nights chooses not to

So I think that's about it. ~sniff, sniff~ Tonight is her first night (hopefully all night) in her crib. We'll see how it goes. I'm paranoid that I won't hear her because the monitor will screw up or something and we sleep with a fan.
