6 whole months - by delaney

yay!

i've made it half-a-year!

and such a fun month i've had!

all sorts of new toys!

some more fun than others.

i don't know that i love my high chair.

i do love classic toys though.

i tried some food too.

i tried a few baby mum mums, but i don't love em em's.

i gag on them, so we're gonna wait till next month to have any more of those.

i've learned some new skills.

i taught myself to sit up.

it wasn't easy and i took some spills.

nothing to cry over, of course.

and now i'm a pro!

okay, okay, i still fall over sometimes.

i've got a big head!

i started taking the big girl baths.

i wasn't too sure about them first.

i mean, i never get left alone as it is and in the bath...

i still didn't really get left alone.

but i had a good time anyway.

i kept scooting down so i could put my legs and body more in the water. :)

you know how i said i never get left alone?

more proof:

and now addie's getting more confidant and has been picking me up a lot lately.

heave, addie!

sometimes it's hard to be the baby here.

i'm pretty patient though.

i've done a lot of growing, which means a lot of sleeping.

thinking hard sleeping.

couch sleeping.

dreaming of climbing sleeping.

nervous sleeping.

and sweet sleeping.

embarrasingly, i've also had several, ahem, accidents.

not my fault.

foot on a ferry?

delicious!

happy month, happy baby!

of course, i did have some harrowing moments.

my mom actually left me with my sister while i was sleeping one night.

i taught her.

i'm seriously thinking about crawling soon.

i already scoot all around.

it's exhausting.

potty break.

quick change and back to work!

army crawl.

i've been getting up on all 4's a lot lately. i rock back and forth too.

planks strengthen my abs.

sissy had just walked in and i love her!

i go backwards, forwards, all over!

all that work...

break time again!

maybe i'll just roll a little bit longer.

my mom woke me up from a nap one day to try to take 6-month pictures with my bestie ellie.

i took a few pictures, but by the time ellie woke up i was not happy.

and i let everyone know it.

an excerpt from that shoot:

baby needs sleep.

i've got a cold on my half birthday, so i better get going.

a raspberry kiss before i go.

love,

delaney
