Half Birthday!

Every mom says this, but seriously, where did 6 months go!!! Brooklyn is just such the sweetest, easiest baby.... time has FLOWN. With Reagan, it seemed more like 6 YEARS than 6 months. (not that we didn't adore her, she was just a trying infant!!) With B, we blinked and she is halfway to her birthday. Crazy. Here is our sweet, smiley girl in her chair for her 6 month pictures. All we have to do is say her name and we get the biggest smiles. She seriously rocks my world.

Reagan pulled her pink chair right up next to her so she could talk to her and get her to smile too. Such a SWEET big sister! Can you tell Brooklyn LOVES her?!?!
She got a little loving ear pull in response.

Sweet kisses! Sweet sisters!

Her 6mo checkup isn't for a few weeks, for shot reasons. But last week she weighed right at

16 lbs! No surprise since she eats like crazy. We've had sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, peas, cereal of course, apples, prunes, and blueberries so far. Hasn't met a food she didn't like! She sleeps 11-12 hours straight through at night too! Her therapy is going well... she is starting to sit up for little bits of time on her own. I bet it won't be more than a week or so before she is sitting up for real. Tummy time of any kind is still a HUGE struggle... we keep working on it and building those trunk muscles. But she just hates it. Makes me hate it. But, we do what we can when we can. All this to say, easiest baby ever. When I think back to that day when we thought for awhile that we wouldn't get to have her.... well, it just makes her THAT MUCH MORE of a joy. She's a total delight.

Waking up from her nap, giving some lovin' to her baby. I like in this one how you can tell how big she is smiling without even seeing her mouth. :)

Just a couple cute naked shots in her high chair.

This one is SO Brooklyn.

Not sure what Reagan is doing in this picture, but it makes me laugh. Like, "Hello Mommy!! Over here!! Your first born!!" :) Yeah right, like she gets no attention.

Pulled out R's new pool last week, only to have about 15 mosquito bites at 3pm within the first 5 minutes. (Not sure what to do about that.... if you know of any waterproof mosquito solutions, please pass my way!!)

But, as you can see, she still had a blast with it!

I looooooove how this one shows off her big blue eyes!

This video will show why Brooklyn is going to eat us out of house and home. (yes, I know. It is another video of her eating. But this is my life, people. Feel free to skip it.) :) I'm gonna have to figure out how to make my own baby food! (I know HOW to, just don't know how to find the TIME to!) She scarfs down HUGE amounts of food, and if it keeps up at this rate, she'll be eating close to $20 a week in babyfood jars! So... any hints will be helpful. Notice how she squeals between bites if I am not getting it to her mouth fast enough! Cutie. :)

And here is the day I blew up the swimming pool. :)

And YAY!! We just got a new camera last night... an early present for David's birthday. It is AMAZING, so I am so looking forward to putting the gorgeous pics up for everyone to see! I'm still thankful for my little camera too that will always stay in the diaper bag... never know when the photo ops will hit! Happy weekend, everyone! :)
