my baby is 6 months old!! how did this happen?

seriously? where did the time go?  how is my little girl six months already?  so much to talk about!  so many tears... i cant believe how fast babyhood is flying by...

some highlights this month:

  • food - cereal and veggies. penelope has started to eat real food! and is a pro at it.. as long as that food is just rice cereal and orange veggies - squash and sweet potatoes.


  • hates GBs and Peas - not a fan of the green veggies at all. or any fruit yet - which is weird!


  • loves cups and trying to drink out of them - she is currently into cups... loves "drinking" out of them, putting them up to her mouth, holding onto the them and she will grab for any cup in her arms reach..


  • sleeping wiht mom and dad in the am - for a few weeks she has been getting up early at like 4:30 and coming into bed with mommy and daddy - while all three of us love it we know it's not a good habit so the past week we've been letting her hang out and whine a bit in her own bed to break the habit - and she is doing great.. but i miss my little morning cuddlebug...


  • first tooth coming through - her first tooth popped through this month!  right on her six month birthday!  it's probably the cutest thing ever...


  • lots of talking - babbling and yelling - someone has turned into a loud mouth and she is practicing all new sounds - yelling, faking crying, fake coughing - just to figure out how to make the noises and to see what reaction they get. she'll fake cry - then look around and see who is coming to get her.  if it donest work - she'll try louder and louder.  eventually she'll get bored and play with something else... stinker.


  • more sock monkey love than ever. she's been very chatty with her sock monkey lately in the car... grabs and it tells stories to it all the way home from daycare.


  • LOVING blowing bubbles - still obsessed with bubble blowing- especially while eating - she has found what a fun mess that makes.  and usually uses bubbles to let us know she is super pissed about something.


  • cracks up all the time. all the cause adn effect stuff is funny. things moving close than far. my head down then up, peekaboo, and all bouncing are hysterical. 


  • breakfast wtih santa - we saw santa this month and penelope did great!!!  was very intrigued and not even scared... more just like "umm... who do you say you are, sir?"


  • wrapping paper - we have found that penelope LOVEs to cheap on paper - that bodes well for an entertaining holiday season :)

  • High chair - we have transitioined to the high chair this month... she is sooo tiny in it - but eats so much better - actually stays focused.. the bumbo just wasnt cutting it.
these monthly updates are getting hard - penelope is constantly changing sooo much - it's amazing.  i have to say - six months was hard for me.  half a year old already - that is crazy.  i'm not sure where the time has gone..  but it's going way to fast for my liking.

love you penelope :)
