to my darling little faye,
you are 6 months old!!! where did the time go? i look at pictures of you when you were first born- full head of dark, dark hair & so tiny! where did that sweet, sleepy baby go who would scowl all the time & only open one eye at a time? you refused to smile for a few weeks & would fall asleep snuggling with me. i could put you on the couch & vacuum & you wouldn't even twitch. you were calm & a good sleeper & we hardly knew you were here!
now you are a wiggly, jumpy, moving, grabbing, scooting, eating & talking crazy baby girl! you do NOT like to snuggle, nosiree. you'd rather sit than lay down, and stand instead of sit! you are getting good at sitting for a long time & are learning to reeeeeach for anything you see! you have started kicking off with one foot to get you closer to the object. uh oh! crawling is right around the corner!
you are still very observant. you cry when you've been in the house with just us for too long- as soon as we take you outside to watch people or cars & see the world you are much happier. you could watch other kids play all.day.long. but not everyone is your best friend, you are still cautious about giving smiles to every joe on the street, but after a few minutes you are very friendly. it's like you have to decide who makes the cut!
you are still very sweet & calm, but you definitely like to party. we had a few friends over to celebrate a 1/2 bday party & it was like you KNEW it was a party. you love to people watch & hang out & don't want to miss anything!
you are eating pretty good nowadays. you love to eat or suck on carrots, watermelon, applesauce, cherries, cantaloupe, & orange juice(we put some in your cereal- i've never seen you eat so fast & happily!!) and anything else we put in your mouth. or you put in your mouth- you particularly enjoyed eating mommy's copy of macbeth. double double toil & trouble!
you talk a TON & have started this whining thing that is NOT fun. you even threw your first fit this week- when mommy took macbeth away from you. you were NOT happy! you talk to your crib & toys & "bah bah bah" to me & daddy & old men at church. you are constantly making noise. when you take a nap & it's silent it's weird.
basically we think you are the greatest thing that's ever happened to us. thanks for being awesome! the good news is we still are in love with you- the bad news is your are growing up! stop that. right. now.
love, mommy
