6 Months

Our darling Camilla had her 6 month check up this week. I seriously love this age, it is the best! She is so interactive and social and fun, yet not moving...quite yet. Although she is giving it her best effort by already trying to crawl. Luckily she can usually just take one step and then falls over. But that is how we find her in the morning or after naps or anytime I leave her on the floor. Up on all fours, rocking, just waiting to make her move. :) Height: 26 1/4" (75th) Weight: 16 lbs. 5 oz. (55th) Head: 17.5" (90th) She's just growing away and we are loving the chucky, chunky legs! Big news for this month are that Camilla already has 2 teeth. (I didn't even notice when the first one broke through while we were in Arkansas for New Years) Random fact: Carson also got his first tooth while we were in Arkansas for New Years but it did not come in quite so smoothly. :) Also Camilla started eating rice cereal.

At first she had a hard time swallowing but now she loves eating up the whole bowl. Camilla continues to be our happy sweet baby. One morning Aaron went in to get her after she woke up and he came back into the room and said, "I think we should look up a word that means happy and smiley and rename Camilla to that." Its true, its how she is all the time. She wakes up happy, goes to bed happy and laughs her little heart out when we play games together.

Camilla is sitting up and falling down. She's not crazy about sitting when she has the possibility to be held in a standing position.

One day I decided to give the pacifier another try and she took it! I was so excited. It has made going to bed so much easier and quicker. I have loved having a baby who will take a pacifier. She also started sleeping more. I still wake her up to eat right before I go to bed and she sleeps the rest of the night. It has been nice to get more sleep. Although I still feel very tired. She is making this adorable grunting noise when she tries to talk to us. She loves to hold onto her feet and grab at everything. I find her in her room trying to hold onto her feet when she should be going to sleep. She loves to jump, juump, jump. When she is being held she wants you to hold her so she can jump and bounce. She has officially been for a run in the jogging stroller and enjoyed it while Aaron was out of town. The weather has been beautiful so we have also been on lots of walks which she loves. She is loving her bath time with her brother. I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the two of them. Camilla has the cutest chunkiest legs. We love them.

Sometimes your kids poop in the bath tub...it happens. And when it happens at our house we make an emergency transfer to the shower to disinfect, which luckily my kids also love.
