Can you believe it? I sure can't.
Our little baby girl is 6 months old!!
She has been such a blessing in our lives. I just want to hold her close and soak her in because I feel like time with her is so precious. She really is only a baby for a short period of time and then it's gone. I want to enjoy every single second with that sweet little girl and not take anything for granted.
Cambree at 6 months:
* She sleeps 7-7 every day without fail. The girl is seriously like clockwork. I haven't heard a peep from her after putting her to sleep since she was 2 months old. Between 7 and 8 every morning I go in to her room to wake her up and she usually is already awake and talking to herself and as soon as she sees me she gets a huge smile on her face and starts kicking like crazy!
* She scares very easily! She jumps at EVERY loud noise and if she is playing by herself and doesn't hear me walk up she always jumps when she sees me. Bathroom flushes and hand dryers also terrify her.
* Unfortunately our cute girl has a misshaped head. We have done everything we can to help it grow normal but it's just not happening so she got fitted today for a helmet. It was a sad day, but the way Ryan put it was "Well I'd rather her have to wear a helmet for 3 months than have her be "the girl with the weird shaped head that nobody wants to date in high school". I'm glad I always have Ry to put things into perspective :)
* She is such a sneaky little girl! At times she will start to cry and scream until we come into the room and as soon as she sees us she gets a sneaky little grin on her face as if she is saying, "Ha! I tricked you! I'm so sneaky!"
* She weighs just about 18 lbs and LOVES her food. Sometimes she will nurse for an hour and refuse to stop. When she finally finishes she looks so drunk on milk - Red face, sweaty hair, eyes rolled back and simply delirious!
* She now eats milk, formula, rice cereal and sweet potatoes. She likes everything we give her, unless it is in a bottle. She hates bottles and flat out refuses to drink from one.
* She loves to smile and smiles at every stranger we see when we are out!
* Her best friends are Sophie and Geoffrey the giraffes. She could play with them all day - I hope they don't mind that she tries to eat them!
* Everything goes in her mouth. And I mean EVERYTHING. I put her down in her bumbo last week and came back a minute later and she had grabbed Ryans shoe and was chewing on it. This girl is going to have an immune system of a champ!
* She has a very mellow personality. She can be held by anyone and not make a fuss, or just play by herself in her bouncer. If she cries it is either one of two things: She's hungry or tired. I think she may be like her momma in that way :)
I hope that as she gets older she knows how special she is and how much she is loved!
We love you little bug!
Love Mom :)
