Molly - 6 months
1 month, 2 months, 3 months
4 months, 5 months, 6 months
Molly is getting so big! At 6 months she is sitting up very confidently, getting up on hands and knees (but most often getting into the plank position) and scooting on her belly where she wants to go. She is kind of a somber baby...she doesn't give smiles easily. But when she laughs it is BIG. The kids were blowing bubbles on the back porch to her and she was going crazy....so we were too.
She has been afraid of people since very early on but I think we broke her of that after having grandmas and grandpa here for a while. She is letting people hold her and being happy with them more and more. She still is our babied baby and gets rocked to sleep. She occasionally will sleep through the night but likes to see her mom once a night usually. She is so soft and squishy, especially on her upper thighs. I can't get enough of eating this girl!
When I make kissing noises to her she will make a noise back at me and she loves when you lay her on your lap and play peek a boo with her feet.
She tried some solid foods and liked it so much one night that she ate quite a bit....and threw it up all night long. We don't do a lot of throwing up in our house so having a baby dry heaving was a new experience and very upsetting. Since then she will eat maybe 3 bites of something and then she is done. I'm not sure if that is related or not, but I know I'm scared to feed her still! '
6 months is a huge milestone for us because it means she can FINALLY go to the daycare at the gym. We haven't tried it yet because we have had guests but I'm hoping she takes to it well. That also marks the end of the longest and hardest post partum, no exercise time that I have experienced!! YEA!
Molly Jane is such a joy to have in our family and we just love her so much!
