6 months

I'm grieving as this little gal gets bigger and bigger - she is so spectacular, heartbreakingly cute and needy in a good, special way. She's a wonderful swirl of everything sweet...like cotton candy. When I look at her, I can see the newborn she was with little wisps of dark brown hair and a squished up face. She is ever changing. The brown hair has since fallen out and new sprouts of shiny blond have taken their place. I love to wrap her up and snuggle her as she peers deep into me with her big blue eyes. I want remember the way that feels and treasure those moments forever.

She has started to crawl. (Not yet hands & knees, it's more military style.) She curiously made her way all the way from the family room to the master bathroom last night following her families' voices. I turned around and boom she was there! The progression is amazing. My how they grow rapidly.

She also has teeth. Many of them. Her 2 lower front and 4 across the top have been making their way through for at least a couple months now. She is picking up her own puffy snacks and holding her own bottle. She loves to eat and it's quite evident in her pudgy little legs. I don't remember my other babies being little chunks like her.

She is a like a sentinel watching and giggling at her sister ~ Raistlyn is the BEST at making her laugh and playing with her. Rowan likes Caide too....from a distance. He's mostly a little bugger that likes to ride on her back and try to pick her up by her head. She doesn't like that so much. If you hear her whining it's most likely because her brother is in the process of some toddler torture he's inflicting upon her. He LOVES her and it's fun to hear "hi Wowan" over and over and over.

Any ideas for keeping your toddler from torturing your baby?
