6 months old ...

Ashlyn is now six months old today.  She seems to have jumped into the toddler stage fast and not at all 'newborn' anymore.  She's wearing 9 - 12 month clothes.  Size 1 shoes. 

In just the last few weeks she is showing some spunk and wants what she wants!!!  She's also become a 'mama' baby and as soon as I walk away (actually, it's anyone that fusses to her and then walks away from her), she starts crying.  She don't usually cry very long and I am sure she just does it to try me out.  She loves any attention she can get and she still smiles all the time for people! 

SHE LOVES HER DADDY!!!  She really does!  When she hears Mike's voice she gets all excited.  It's been a few times that he started talking and didn't give any attention to her and she started to cry!  He loves it!!!  Mike loves that she adores him.  He loves that his baby girl wants his arms, love, and attention!  He does great with her!  Michael loves when I am holding her and she reaches out for him!  He thinks that is really cool!!!  So do I!

She is not sitting yet by herself.  She needs to start because babies get to a certain stage that they need something new.  She lays on the floor on her side and tries to sit up.  I know she will love it once she gets her balance figured out!  She is moving all over the place though!  She rutches herself on her belly or rolls all over the floor.  If she wants something that's laying on the floor, she will get to it!  She likes jumping in her johnny jump.  She is entertained in her saucer with toys.  She sits in her highchair and eats her veggies VERY nice!  She loves them!!!  She chows down a whole small container!  I think I might have to get the next size bigger.?.  She's got major poops to prove that she is starting to eat some solids and not just formula!  I gave her some graham crackers this week too and she shivered all over at first and then seemed to enjoy them.  What a mess!  All her eating and starting new foods is putting on some fat!  Her legs are cute and chubby!  Rolls of fat from 'good eatin'!

Last night we had her in the baby swing outside for the first.  She liked it at first and then when she realized that she's going to sit in there while I pull some weeds, she wanted out.  Spoiled???

She's lovin' it!!!
