Claire Elyse: 6 Months


My sweet girl is 1/2 year old! My mommy heart is so conflicted with wanting her to reach new milestones and cheering her on, but also wanted her so desperately to stay little! I look at her and can't believe how lucky I am that she is mine! 

Weeks 22-26


-She is officially sitting on your own! She cannot put herself into that position but try so hard with her baby crunches!
-I swear she has the strongest legs and core! She can pull herself up to standing while holding our hands all on her own!
-She scoots by pushing her head into the floor but doesn't get very far! She is pretty content being by whoever she is with!
- She is easily distracted while eating; tv, daddy, silence, just about anything distracts her nowadays!
-She loves crinkle sounds- she will grab the wipes to crinkle them, water bottles, and her little crinkle sheet!
-She has the softest hands and feet! She loves rubbing my face and arms while we cuddle!
-She has taken to just laying on my for 30-60 minutes before bedtime.  She just cuddles and relaxes.  It is one of my favorite times with her! 
-She still thinks daddy is the funniest!!
-She rubs her eyes when she is tired
-She loves her pink stuffed pug from Nana
-She is quite the hair puller- OW!
-She enjoys being outside and watching cars go by.
-She is becoming more attached to me and will cry when I walk away or lunge toward me when I walk in the room.
-She loves playing with peoples' hands
-She went through a growth spurt and went from her 3 month clothing to 6 month clothing in about 3 days!
-She is very long! Her 6 month check up is next week and I am curious to see her stats!
- She is still only nursing or drinking breastmilk from bottles while I work.
-She started this month in 3 month clothing and size 1 diapers and ended it in 6 month clothing and size 2 diapers.
-She is not a great sleeper and still wakes up 3-4 times a night.
-This month we celebrated her big cousin's 2nd birthday, enjoyed lunch with her "Uncle" Alex and Daniel, attended a colon cancer benefit, a birthday party for mommy's friend, and visited her Great Grandma and Papa Spagnoli, as well as her Great Grandpa (Papa Tom) and Irene!
