Six Months

My little baby is growing up so fast!  On July 27th Maggie turned 6 months old.

From 4 to 6 months old Maggie went from
1 - rolling from tummy to back only, to rolling everywhere
2 - sitting supported in the corner of the couch, to sitting anywhere and everywhere
3 - 14 lbs. 13 1/2 oz to 17 lbs. 4 oz.
4 - being 16 inches long to 171/4 inches.

She is learning and growing so quickly I can hardly keep up with her.  Sometimes I feel like we're being forced to learn even quicker than she is in order to keep her out of trouble.

Here are some fun pictures of our little darling.

My sweet ballerina

This is up there on my favorite outfits for her to wear.

I can't help but squeeze this cute baby - especially when she's wearing this outfit.

August 1st

Now when I lay her down to sleep, she goes straight from her back to her side or even stomach.

Sue Laneri, Alyse Essig's mom, bought this little bouncer at a garage sale and has loaned it to us until Maggie grows out of it.  

She absolutely loves this thing!

This was her first time in it, so she wasn't quite sure what to do about it, but once she got the hang of it she didn't want to come out.  This is now how we get things done like dinner and the dishes around our house.  It's wonderful!

Maggie has some really funny tendencies.  The next few videos are the ones that make me especially happy.

August 6ht - Maggie loves reading!  

This particular night was especially cute seeing Spencer reading with Maggie in front of him, reading her own book.  

August 7th
This is one Maggie's new outfits that we pulled out of storage because she keeps growing and needing to move up to the next size of clothes.  

It's one of my favorites!

I love this little girl!

Look at her going from sitting to her knees.  She is going to be crawling WAY too soon!

August 9th

This is probably my all-time favorite of Maggie's funny tendencies.  When I try to feed her, or at many other times now too, she crinkles up her little face and breathes really loudly at you.  I love it!

And last, but not least of Maggie's six month post... more tickle torture!  I just LOVE her laugh.  It makes every day so much happier and I just don't know what I'd do without it.
