Little Miss Stitch is 6 Months

Oh long lost, neglected, but not forgotten blog. I miss you. I yearn to be more diligent in my record keeping. Even my personal, private, paper journal has been put up on a shelf and not opened nearly enough these days. It makes me sad, I love writing and keeping a record and I feel it is so important to record this time in my life, times that my children might have a hard time recalling on their own. I want them to know of their cuteness and how much I adore them (most days... haha). And with technology these days it is truly so easy to capture so many moments in time. I Love it!

So Stitch is 6 Months however she is ahead of her time already. It's like those little girls you see and you think well she's 13 going on 24... haha but Stitch is 6 months going on 2 years. She tries so hard to crawl and to pull herself into a standing position, it's really quite amusing. Even her body is bigger than 6 months. I haven't weighed or measured her recently but she has been in 9 month size clothes for a couple weeks now.

Today was one of my favourite times in developmental stages. Stitch got her first mouthful of "real" food! She had a few bites, probably a Tablespoons worth. We started with baby rice cereal. She really loved to help and seemed to want to take over so once she seemed satisfied I just let her play/fling the rest around.

Food is so fun!

Also when Magoo hit 6 months I did a little amateur "photo shoot" of him just with my phone, so I decided Stitch needed one as well. 

I can say that I have honestly been blessed with children who really love each other. Magoo has never shown jealousy towards stitch, never hitting or being unkind. There have been a couple times where Magoo has sat on Stitch thinking she wanted to give him a horsey ride... but thats about it. ha. And she loves him right back. She is always watching him and hoping he will pay a little more attention to her. 

She is such a happy baby. The only times she really lets her full laugh show is when Magoo is around, and he doesn't have to do much to get her going, and once she gets going Magoo starts laughing and they just go back and forth laughing and laughing. I love it when it happens. The rest of us really have to work to get her to laugh and even then it can be so half hearted like she's doing us a favour... 

She sleeps in her own bed (within the last couple weeks I have gotten more adamant about that), but not all the way through the night. She is getting better at putting herself to sleep, although sometimes I still love to cuddle her to sleep.

She has her Daddy wrapped around her finger already... okay she might have us all wrapped around a finger. 

She certainly is very special, so full of life and love that you can feel even though she is so young. She is full of emotion and character. She has a million of different looks and expressions. I am so grateful she is apart of me, apart of us. She is fantastic and I look forward to getting to be her Mom throughout her life.
