Evelyn at 6 Months

- Evy is so curious.  She loves to look, feel, and taste everything.
- Crawling.  Yes, crawling at 6 months.  And she's fast too.  The other day while I was making lunch Evy crawled around the couch, under the table, into the kitchen, turned around and went back to play by the couch.  And it's pretty much the cutest to watch her scoot and then turn to give you a smile.

- Likes to crawl over to see what her brother is doing.  Those two love each other so much.  It melts my heart.
- Loves serburts.  She laughs so much when you do it.

- She is starting to get stranger awareness.  If your mommy, daddy, or brother you get a huge smile.  If she doesn't know you, she will not even give you a half smile.  She just stares at you.
- She loves to see her daddy.  She'll watch him go around a room and whenever he looks at her she gets the biggest grin on her face.

- Blowing raspberries, usually when she's tired and ready to go to sleep for the night.
- 6 month stats: 16 lbs 15 oz (64th percentile), 26 3/4 inches (80th percentile), and 42 cm head circumference (41st percentile.)

- She's starting to grow out of her 6 month clothes. I'm going to be really sad when she can no longer fit in these jammies.  I just can't stand how cute it is to have her face framed in a hood.
- We pulled out the jumperoo for her and she loves it.  Not sure if she loves the bouncing or the being able to look around at everything more.

- Started eating solids.  The first time she had them it was quite comical.  She would shutter in disgust with every bite.  Now that's she's getting used to eating solids she actually quite likes cereal and will sometimes try to help get the spoon in her mouth.
- She is doing better at sleeping since we started solids.  She was getting up a few times a night before, but now she's maybe getting up once around 5 am.  Hallelujah.

- What do you get for a 6 month old for her 1/2 year birthday?  Bibs for those solids she's starting to eat.  Evy seems to like them.
- Everything Nathan drops, Evy has to put in her mouth.
- Evy's hair is still red and she has such pretty dark blue eyes.  Evidently, red hair and blue eyes are the rarest hair/eye color combo.  Just in case we needed another reason of how special this little girl is.

- With how curious and independent she has been getting, it's so nice when every once in a while I get to snuggle up with this little girl.  It usually happens when she is sleeping these days, but she's also starting to give me squeezes when I pick her up.  I love when she gives me these little baby hugs.
