6 months!

Rebecca's 6 month birthday occurred while we were gone for Thanksgiving.  Today we had her 6 month pictures taken (along with family Christmas pictures--what a fiasco THAT was!).  When Rachel was 6 months old her picture was taken in the pinafore that I wore when I was 6 months old and my mom wore when she was 6 months old.  So it was only fitting to have Rebecca's picture taken in the same pinafore.



In the last few days she has "discovered" her voice, it seems.  She's "talking" much more than normal and practicing all kinds of new sounds.  It's so fun to listen to!  She is sitting up like a pro now, eating various pureed fruits and vegetables, and is just generally growing up way too fast!!

She sleeps from 5:30 or 6 pm until 6:30 am, still with a brief feeding at 9:30.  She's a pretty happy girl most of the time.  She lets me know when she's hungry or sleepy, and sometimes she just wants to be held (she's always been much more cuddly than Rachel ever was), but most of the time she's fairly content and smiley. 

She is such a joy!

I love that even her ARMS are chubby. What a sweetheart! She is so so cute.

Man is she changing. I love that she looks so thrilled in these pictures. She really can't be 6 months already. I'd love to hear her little voice. Miss you!
