6 months and counting....

My sweet Ruby Q.

How on earth are you 6 months already? A half year has flown by in a blink of an eye. I can't believe that you're already growing so much. Your Papa said just today, I'm sad the baby stage is gone, but I'm excited to see who she becomes!! It couldn't be more true, baby girl.
Your personality shines more each day. You L.O.V.E. your brother. (I'll remind you of that when you're 13) You smile and laugh more for him than anyone else. You have such a sweet disposition, and are incredibly patient with Mama when she's trying to do 5 other things on her list before she feeds you. You're a trooper baby girl!

At 6 months you...

• Can sit up with ease
• Grab for toys while sitting (and not fall!)
• You're grabby period. You are constantly reaching for some toy or the cats tail to play with 
• You have found your feet and you will suck on your toes. It's pretty cute! 
• You're a crazy roller. You go back and forth all over the room to get to things! 
• You are trying desperately to crawl. You're starting to pull your legs up underneath of you.
• You got your first tooth! And you were so awesome, I didn't even realize it. You had a night of cruddy sleep and I just thought you were being a little fussy .. little did I know it was a tooth!
• You went on your first camping trip! you were a pro! 
• You go to sleep easily. 
• You wake around 6am. Take 2 (1 1\2-2 hour) naps a day, and go to bed around 6.
• You are squealing and talking more and more. 
• Your laugh is infectious.
• We have not started you on solids yet, but you are showing all the signs of readiness. I think Mama is going to have to cave soon. 
• On a good night, you are up about once in the night. typically around 2 or 3. 
• You start in your crib at night, but by morning you've somehow always finagled your way into our bed

We can't wait to see who you become, Rubykins. 

We love you!
