Allison 6 months

I love love love this age. If I could keep Allison at five months forever I would. Is that horrible? This stage is so fun and she is just so cute I could eat her up. She is so darn good that she makes me want another one... crazy!

At six months you are:

• 17 lbs, 26 in (95%)
• Eating solids (carrots, avocado, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, bananas, apples and pear)
• making stinky diapers (no more breastfeed baby poop)
• Still nursing every 2-3 hours during the day
• Sleeping from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM
  
• sleeping with a half swaddle
• consistently taking a 45 min morning nap
• not on a good schedule for a long afternoon nap
• still taking cat naps in the afternoons
  
• entertain the thought of sucking your thumb
• sitting up like a pro
• rolling both ways (put haven't connected the dots to get rolling all over the place)
• playing with all your toys (loves the star stacker)
• grabbing at everything and it goes straight to your mouth
• becoming aware of your surroundings (checking everything out to see what you can grab)
• nicknames: Grabby Grabberson and Big-um
• attended your first Springfield Cardinals game (you were an angel)
• very calm natured
  
• looking more like a redhead everyday
• quiet, not a lot of babbling but some
• giggle at your sister
• still a tough critic to get to smile (unless it is Mom, Dad and Ashley)
• good with your nanny
• love your puppy dog (would love to grab those ears)
• wearing 9 month and 12 month clothes
• have big thighs
• have stinky feet (well we like to pretend that they stink and you think it is funny)
• love to play airplane

P.S. Please pretend that there is a cute picture of Allison with her pink puppy dog... but I might have left the camera at the lake this weekend. Nice!
