My Daughter has turned six months, and has accomplished with this event are several milestones which I am all very excited to share with you. Each day I see her become more and more lifelike, developing character traits from myself, her father, my room mate and other people whom she interacts with. She is curious and full of buoyancy, always accompanied with a big ear to ear grin. One time I was picking out clothes for her in a store and she picked a beautiful dress right off the rack, and held on to it as though she knew what she wanted to wear (and it happened to be just the right size as well HA!)
She enjoys watching Nanalan and Dr.Seuss, I have tried introducing her to some other children's shows but those two are her favorite! I have started giving her solids, and she is eating a little bit (reluctantly I must say). The food she likes the most (or should I say hates the least) is avocado. She likes listening to 80s rock music with me (even more so then toddler music HA!) and going for walks. She especially likes little performances I put on for her, like when I practice my martial arts or dance for her. Sometimes she watches me do yoga or exercise videos and squeals with delight!
Although my daughter has yet to start crawling I noticed she was in a different area of her playmat then where I had placed her the other day, and then caught her very slowly dragging herself along the floor with her hands, how exciting! She sees me eat and then tries to feed herself, not to much prevail!
I can't believe that she is already halfway through her "infancy!" It seems that just yesterday I was holding an adorable, delicate, bundle of joy with beautiful tanned skin and lots of black hair (she still has black hair but not lots) who would wake me up every 2 hours to feed her, and have a 3 hour long fuss fest every evening at midnight on the dot.
Now she squeals at the dog, dances along to music, and has "heated conversations" with me when she is not happy with something I have done (usually consisting of NINNY NINNY NANA!! DADA!) Assures me when she is happy with something I've done (with a giggle, smile, or squeal) and laughs at my silly faces. I have even heard her try to say "I love you." She is interested in my day to day tasks like cooking, cleaning, sending emails, etc.
She has also entered the "put everything in your mouth" stage which is a little bit worrisome, so I will have to get better at picking up after myself (and after her and the dog)
I am very excited for the months (and years) ahead and looking forward to spending a beautiful Christmas with my daughter, her grandpa, and step-grandma. (Grandpa got her a gorgeous Christmas dress, and grandma got her a beautiful pair of shoes, headbands, and an adorable elf like toque) I'm sure she'll be the belle of the ball!
