6 months old

Baby girl is 6 months old now! After moving, living in a hotel, traveling to Dallas, going to Arizona, coming back to San Antonio and finally getting our furniture, things are starting to settle down. It only took a month and a half :) We still aren't fully unpacked though. That is happening slowly. It will feel nice when it's all done with.

Eating her cereal for the first time

Happy Girl

Such a sweet girl

Loving her Sammy

This little girl has so much personality now! She is still blowing raspberries all the time. She does it when she's happy and mad. And she always does it at the perfect time when you ask her a question that she would say no to. LOL. She rolls over but only from her tummy to her back and only to the right side. She has rolled from her back to her stomach but that was only once. She also can sit up on her own now, which she loves! We had her 6 month check up yesterday and the doctor said Adelyn will have to go on her tummy every time I put her down to try and get her to continue to roll. We also found out that Adelyn is officially a chunk! Weighing in at 18 pounds 6 ounces and in the 90% percentile!

She is the sweetest little girl. She has started giving me kisses and she has been giving hugs for a while. I love it when I'm holding her and all of a sudden she turns towards me, hugs me, and nuzzles her face in my shoulder and/or starts eating my shoulder. It's so sweet! She also LOVES people! She loves going to the store and smiling at everyone who talks to her. And lots of people talk to her! She especially loves it when we hold her with her back to our chest so she can look out at the world. Adelyn also loves watching cars drive by. Sometimes when her teeth are bothering her or if she's fussy we go outside to watch the cars. When we were at the hotel we would just look out the window because we were right on the freeway. Speaking of teeth, she does have one tooth coming in. We felt it for a few days and now her gums have swollen over the area.

Adelyn LOVES Sammy! She smiles whenever he comes near her and she always reaches to pet him. I'm trying to teach her to be gentle with him. She's starting to get the hang of it, but still comes away with a fist full of Sammy fur on occasion.

She has been eating solid foods since about 5 months old. We started her on single grain oatmeal because she has a bit of a sensitive tummy and that's what the doctor suggested. She has also had sweet potatoes and carrots. I made the carrots and I am actually pretty proud of myself. I really want to make most of her baby food (I'm still not sure about the meats yet). Next I'm going to try pears, apples, peas, and green beans.

Everyday she is growning into her personality. She is so silly and loves to have fun. Here are A LOT of cute videos that we took over the past month. We think they are super cute but it could just be because she's our baby :)
