6 months old!

Our precious Laurel Faith is 6 months-old! I know I say this every month, but where has the time gone? Laurel is growing up so fast! She is at such a fun age and we are just trying to savor every moment!

Here are some things Laurel is doing at 6 months:
-Laurel still gives lots of smiles
-She sleeps about 12 hours at night (sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less)
-She takes 2 naps a day-- one nap is between 1 1/2 hr and 2 hrs. and the other nap is between an hour and an hour and a half
-Laurel still likes to be swaddled from the waist down at night
-She eats six times a day and one of those times includes rice cereal and a fruit or veggie.
-Laurel has eaten squash, sweet potatoes, and pears, but did not like the pears.
-Laurel LOVES to jump and bounce.
-Laurel loves to grab at everything and put it in her mouth.
-Laurel likes her exersaucer and plays with the things that don't have music more-- because she can put these things in her mouth or pull them any way she wants!
-Laurel can sit up by herself for a few minutes. She sits up best with a toy but she often tips over or falls back when she picks up a toy that makes her too top heavy or she's going after a toy to the side of her.
-Laurel loves her Jump 'N Go.
-Laurel still has the cutest laugh and it's fun to see what makes her laugh
-Laurel loves Peek-a-boo, especially when she pulls the cloth off your head.
-We're really starting to be able to play little games with Laurel.
-Laurel still loves to touch mouths, noses, faces.
-She has rolled from her back to her tummy, but has only done it a few times.
-Laurel squeals and makes high pitched noises A LOT
-Laurel hasn't really babbled yet and everything she says right now still sounds like "hey hey hey"
-Laurel can push herself up when she's on her tummy, but she hasn't gotten on all fours yet.
-We're working on a sippy cup.
-Laurel loves animal sounds
-Laurel likes to be read to, but she doesn't always want to sit still for too long!
-Laurel is drooling A LOT (no teeth yet though!)

I think that's all I can think of for now! It's a long list, but I just want to have a way to remember all the things she is doing because she is changing so fast! We love our little Laurel and God has blessed us so richly with her!
