it's already been half a year.
half a year of enjoying this smile every day.
and making fun of that blasted tongue that she can't seem to keep in her mouth.
things our little miss mj has been up to lately:
-she has two teeth, on the bottom. they came in about a week apart.
-she has been a big fan of food. she likes purees (something her big brother hated), gerber wheels, baby mums, and teething biscuits. she's still trying to figure out puffs. she makes a mess when she eats. often she gets two baths a day.
-she has become a pro at spinning in circles on the floor. she's been trying to get up onto all fours, which mainly results in her scooting backwards and getting stuck places like under the crib, or dresser, or couch.
-she loves to scream. she screams to laugh, she screams to get attention, she screams when she is hungry, and she screams just to scream. she has also started jabbering on and on and usually stops in the middle of her conversation to start blowing bubbles with her mouth. then she'll jabber on some more.
-she's been chunking up. like a fool. she now weighs 20 which is in the 95th percentile. we just upgraded her to a convertible car seat because her little carrier only allows for babies up to 22 pounds, and she was getting too close for comfort. she's comfortably in 12 month clothes.
-she has not been sleeping through the night yet. we are still only getting 3 hour stretches over here at the fiske house. eventually she's going to have to cry it out and learn that she is capable of going more than three hours without chugging an entire bottle, but not until we are at my parent's house for the holidays and she can cry without waking big brother up.
-she remains a giggle monster, and it isn't hard to get a laugh or a smile out of her. if only i could tell you how many strangers have stopped me to comment on my happiest baby in the world. if only they could see her the instant she got the teeniest bit hungry. oh what a different story they'd tell.
we love our maggie.
i can't wait to see what the next half year holds for her, and for us.
i hope it holds more sleep.
and i hope she starts to sit on her own soon.
in just another blink of my eye, it is going to be birthday party time.
slow down, time, you are flying by.
