Meg-6 months

So Meg will be 6 months in two days and so I thought I would give an update of what all she is up to and share a few of my favorite pictures. I remember 6 months as one of my favorite ages with Brody so I bet we have a lot to look forward to this month!

• She continues to have an outgoing personality. She is able to sit up like a big girl in her stroller and she just loves this. It gives people more of an opportunity to see her which she also very much enjoys!
• She weighs about 17 lbs 8 oz. This seems like a lot to me, but looking back at Brody's baby book it is about what he weighed at this point.
• She wears 9-12 month clothes for the most part, but these are quickly getting too small. I certainly didn't have to buy so many clothes for Brody. With Meg I am going to spend a small fortune!
• She is sitting up great and will pull up when she is holding on to someone's hands. She can put her feet her in mouth (really, is that an accomplishment?).
• She is still just eating rice cereal. Usually about once or twice a day. She loves it but certainly lets you know when she is done
• Always has a finger or toy in her mouth. She is always looking for something to chew on and will even aim for your face. I pretend that she is just trying to give me kisses
• Is officially "playing". She loves to sit in the floor with Brody and play with her toys. She enjoys watching him and Rosco play even more though
• Still sleeps from about 8 to 5 or 6 in the morning each night. Thankfully she is easy to get to sleep and when she wakes up she is just as pleasant as can be. I love having kids that are happy in the morning because that is my favorite part of the day
• Loves when we sing to her and enjoys reading books
• Her nickname with my family is officially Meggers. It is certainly not something that we really love, but all of the kids are stuck on it. I still call her sugars a bunch.
• One of the most frequent things we hear from people (besides that she is so big) is how happy she is and how when she smiles her whole face lights up and that she smiles with her whole body. And really, could anything make a mommy happier?

Putting her foot in her mouth. Doesn't her hair look really red here?

Loving that thumb

Her precious smile

All fancied up for church. You should've seen her in her carseat with this dress on.

A very determined look

Trying to sleep unswaddled....it wasn't a pretty night!

She can certainly wiggle around on the floor gym now

Loving her jumperoo. What she really likes is the way Brody dances when the music goes off. That is hilarious!

Her cousin sure do love her
