I'm 6 MONTHS YOUNG!!!!

 I can't believe I've been a part of my family for 6 whole months. I'm learning so much and M&D are enjoying every second with me.  Here are a few things I'm doing.

- I'm sleeping in my OWN room and my own BIG crib. I love it! I roll around and love exploring from one end to another. I sleep throughout the whole night and love to stretch out. I'm so glad mommy finally let me move from the cramped bassinet!
-Mom started giving me baby food although I don't really like it yet.  I like to arch myself back to avoid the food entering my mouth. Mom will occasionally trick me and give me a toy for me to chew on or make me laugh and when I open my mouth she sneaks it in. I did really good eating carrots with daddy and was even holding the spoon myself. That was fun but I don't really like carrots anymore!
-I'm sitting up on my own and can reach forward and side to side while remaining balanced
- I'm rolling all around the place.  WITH NO HELP! Side to side.. back and forth.. and although I'm not crawling.. this system helps me move from one place to another.
-I'm TALKING sooo much.. mostly it's just jabbers and I play with my sounds and occasionally make a real word.
-I've found my tongue and know how to use it. I spit all over the place and I love the vibration on my lips.
- I laugh a lot and smile all the time.  Mostly I laugh when M&D try to eat my juicy little thighs and tummy.  I like to smile at strangers and I LOVE when they tell me how cute I am!
- I'm cruising all over the place in my little "car"I like to chase daddy around the kitchen.
- I love to jump. M&D bought me a jumper that they hang in the doorways and I can jump for so long. But now my favorite thing is to jump when mommy and daddy are holding me. I CAN'T stop. I definitively give their arms a workout.

I had a 6mth Dr appointment yesterday and the Dr said I was doing really well. Here are my stats
Age: 6 months
Date: 4/24/12
Length: 27.75" (97%)
Weight: 19lbs 11oz. (96%)
Head Circ: 42.6cm (52%)
I also got my booster shots.  I only cried for a few seconds and then daddy gave me some love and mommy distracted me with sticking my toes in the running water in the waiting room. I forgot about the pain and was back to being my smiley self.

Being six months is fun because I get so much love and make so many people smile. I'm sure getting a lot of attention with my smile. I think I'll keep using it! I love to be around people and be outside. I can't wait to play with all my neighbors and be able to run and keep up with them.

Love,
Baby Eden
P.S. I eat EVERYTHING!
