Six months old



How is it that this sweet baby is six months already? I seriously could eat her up.  She is the most kissable thing in the world! Sweetest baby. Ever. 
At 6 months Anna Joy:
  • Weighs 17.8 lbs (80%) and is 50% in height. Fat & happy!
  • Sleeps through the night almost every night.  Has since she was about three months. Angel baby.
  • Loves to be held! (don't mind if I do...)
  • "talks" a lot more than Jones did at this age.  She squeals, laughs and smiles all the time.
  • adores Jones and follows him with her eyes wherever he goes.  The feeling is mutual. He loves her so much and tells us so all the time. 
  • still nursing in the morning and at night and takes two bottles at school.  I am still pumping away in my office! We haven't tried cereal or any food, though I plan on doing so this weekend.
  • so content and laid back.  Thankfully she goes to whomever, whenever, wherever! She just goes with the flow on anything.
  • Has yet to be sick. Jones started getting chronic ear infections around 4 months which resulted in tubes at a year and half.  She has been illness free so far! Just goes to show that staying home vs sending to day care doesn't play a huge role in illness. I stayed home with Jones and we battled infections all the time.  She has been at school since 12 weeks and is healthy as can be!
  • has no teeth. I thought for a while we may be teething, but I don't think we are just yet.
  • Her hemangioma on her back is getting larger and larger, as expected.  The Dr. is confident it will go away by the time she is 18 months old.  Jones is so concerned about it everything he sees it and wants to put a Band-Aid on it and give it kisses.  Sweet boy.
  • the love of our life - Trey and I are desperate for her to stay a baby forever.
