I can't believe my little stinker is 6 months already, and I'm actually super excited that she's growing up. I have to say she is the HARDEST baby ever! She still cannot put herself to sleep, has to sleep next to me and will not take naps unless I lay down with her or rock her vigorously in her car seat. She is seriously high maintenance. Kelsey was the complete opposite and has always been really independent, which I love, so having a very clingy baby is hard for me.Ask anyone, I have tried everything. I've let her cry, for hours people, she just keeps crying. I've got her asleep in my arms and gently put her in the pack n play, she wakes up. Her eyes are red, she's rubbing them but she just will not sleep. One of the only things that gets her to sleep is the boob...some nights its in her mouth all night! That's only when I'm so tired that I don't even care to look for the binky. I'm glad to report that she now appreciates the binky, thanks to Holly and my mother in law. I guess she figured she'd have to give in since there wasn't a boob around (well there was lots of boobs, but we just weren't going to go there).
She is 15lbs 5 oz. in the 30-40% and 26" long.
She enjoys her real food now. Tries to sit up until she sees something she wants and falls over. She is rocking on her hands and knees. She ends up in the downward dog position a lot, but then loses her balance and falls over. She can army crawl, now its very slow but she can still get herself forward if she wants to. Right now she's obsessed with a baby doll, its pretty cute. She will repeat dada, but when someone's around she makes me look like I'm crazy (which I really do feel crazy a lot, but one of my friend's just says its sleep deprivation...hope so).
Side note: I was on skype with my cousin and B wakes up and I say, "Oh there goes my fun" she says "But you were sweeping." Yes, but sweeping alone, in peace and quiet is sooo much fun to me. I'm that desperate people. But, I'm sure other moms out there would concur.
The last 6 months have been challenging but she is so happy and so darn cute that I can't trade it for anything.

So I'm an idiot and been around kids WAY too long because in the sweeping comment I thought you really meant "SLEEPING" and you were just talking toddler talk. I was so confused by your sentence. How could you be skyping AND sleeping?? Oh my gosh. I need to get out more.
haha I thought you were talking toddler talk too. and was so confused.:) She is very adorable.
Ha, that's funny. I could see why you thought that! Nope, I really was sweeping. :)
