6 months old!


Miss Lainey is 6 months old today! Happy half-birthday, little pumpkin! We are still here in Colorado, but we leave tomorrow. We should get back to the Dallas area around 5ish. This little baby is so funny, and continues to make us laugh and smile and give thanks that she is in our lives. What a blessing she is. :)
Interesting Facts:
  • Lainey can sit up pretty well on her own for a while. I still put pillows down around her just in case. And she can roll, although only one way. She can roll to the left, but not to the right.
  • She loves Gerber's green vegetables, green beans, and peaches. She'll tolerate pears and sweet potatoes. Not a fan of rice cereal (or anything similar).
  • Sleeping. Hmm. Lainey goes down around 7/7:30 and sleeps until 6ish. Sometimes later. She has figured out that sleeping on her tummy is a good thing, although she doesn't always know how to position herself so she ends up crying. However, this is all a new development since we've been here in CO and she's been sleeping in the Pack 'n' Play. I think things will be better when she's at home in her crib and sleeping on her firm mattress.
  • The dogs are constant entertainment, and she loves to see them and grab for them and watch them play.
  • She also loves to "play rough" - being gently tossed, bounced, etc. It always makes her laugh! We go to the doctor next Tuesday, so I'll be sure to post her weight/height/percentages after we go. I am predicting that she's around 20 pounds. :) I'll let y'all know for sure!

Happy 6-month birthday, Lainey! You look like you're having a great time in CO! When you and Keegan are both finally home again, maybe you can show him how to eat his veggies just like you! BIG hugs and kisses, and we'll see you soon. Have a safe trip home!
