6 Months Old

found her sleeping on top of her barrier
that was supposed to keep her from rolling
Thanks Auntie Trish and Scotty
Hook 'Em

sitting in her new bathtub
because she outgrew her baby bathtub
going out for an afternoon stroll with Mom
sitting up like a big girl

This has been by far my most favorite stage. Faith's personality is shining through and everyday is a chance for her to explore the world around her. We're def. blessed! Don't have her 6 months stats yet, but will update after her doctor's appointment.
  1. went to her first church retreat
  2. attended small group for the 1st time
  3. met all her new friends at Jen's shower
  4. sitting up independently
  5. sleeping from 6:30 to around 7:30 (with one night feeding)
  6. rice cereal 1-2 times a day
  7. learned how to stick out her tongue
  8. teething, drooling, spitting
  9. drinking 20-25 ounces of breastmilk
  10. can flip from stomach to back but not the other way
  11. survived Mom going back to work = going to the babysitter 3x a week from 9 to 1:45
  12. hair is waaaaaay past ears and neck
  13. enjoying patty cake, peek a boo, and toys that light up
  14. first time she got to wear a sweater and some of her winter clothes
  15. loves being on her back and pulling her feet towards her face w/ her hands
  16. likes music, pretend walking, and being outside
  17. first runny nose

On a personal note, Faith turning 6 months old marks a personal victory for me. I've been pumping breastmilk for her all this time instead of nursing. It hasn't always been easy or convenient, but I'm so happy that I made it to at least 6 months!

Hi Alicia, Haven't visit your blog for a while. Faith has grown so much, she must be your joy and pride. Keep up the good work of mommyhood. Ch
