growing like a weed

I was walking down the stairs today and looked at my beautiful silly girl in my arms, her new favorite thing is snuggling into your neck and laughing then pulling away, looking you in the face and doing it again. I looked at her in amazement, I thought she was so amazing before, but today she amazed me even more. She's becoming quite the character. All of a sudden everything is happening so fast. This evening while playing I sat her down and instead of her usual topple over onto her side she just sat there. She saw a toy, reached for it picked it up and went back to her sitting up straight position. In the tub for her bath this evening, instead of laying back and kicking all the water out she bent forward and held herself up and splashed with her hands until almost all the water was gone.  In the past week we have watched her at night make her way to the head of the crib until she could go no further, but we have yet gotten her to do it front of us...little does she know we can see her on the monitor. She must be waiting until the perfect moment to show us. She is just growing up so fast. It's hard to believe she is 6 months old. As I got up to feed her the other night I held her in her rocking chair. She was falling back to sleep in my arms and I couldn't help but get sentimental as I noticed her legs hanging over my lap and dangling over the side of the rocking chair arm. It seems like just the other day her whole body fit in the nook of my arm. She is getting so big! I think  we skipped right over 9 month clothing and we find ourselves already putting her in 9/12 mo. especially to get her the length, I think it is safe to say she will be tall like her mommy :)

She loves her veggies atleast...this was tonights dinner which was one of her favorites-PEAS! I don't know how tonight got so messy, but it did and we had fun and that's all that matters. She isn't a big fan of bananas and tomorrow we are going to start avocado! Mmmm
