Our Sixth Month Old Princess

I can't believe that sixth months has come and gone since we were blessed with our beautiful daughter! So much has changed in the last six months and it keeps changing everyday. So Spencer, here is what you are up to now:

-You have been sleeping through the night since you were 3 months old. You get sleepy around 7:30 or 8:00 and after nursing, you go right to bed. You love your crib and are all smiles in the morning when we wake you up!
-You started eating solids on February 12th-you had sweet potatoes but you weren't too sure about what to do with them. Watching you learn to eat is bittersweet because we know you are growing up so fast!
-Your daddy can make you squeal with laughter. Your face brightens every time you see him.
-You still love nursing like the night you were born.
-You got your first illness two weeks before you were six months. You had bronchitis and we took you to the doctor because of your fever. However, from the smile on your face, we would could not really tell you had a 102 degree fever.
-You are sitting up now and grabbing every thing you see. Then you put it in your mouth. You can get your booty in the air and push your head up with your hands but you haven't quite gotten the hang of doing both things at the same time so you can start crawling.
-You love to be outside and look around. We took you to the park and you love to swing in the big girl swing and have the breeze blow through your hair which seems to be getting blonder.
-On your progress report at school, they wrote that you were the most contented child they had ever seen and the ladies at church would agree too! You smile at everyone you meet and hardly ever fuss over anything.
-You have taken 3 planes rides in your short life and have been perfect on every flight.
-Evee loves to give you kisses and you love to pet her. Tilly is still not too sure about being your friend yet.
-You have already visited Clemson and seen your Uncle Will graduate. You had an awesome time and mommy and daddy agree that orange is your color!
-You had a wonderful first Christmas and you even saw your first snow.

We know that you will keep bringing us smiles and we can't wait to see what your future brings as you grow into our little lady! We love you!

Your beautiful smile!
Our adorable Clemson Tiger!

You with a pillow made by you great-great-grandma!
Your first swing in the park!
And your favorite time of the day!
