golden's six months

And just like that, it's been half of a year since Little Miss Goldie graced us with her presence!

Golden is:

... crawling! She's still figuring out how to get up on her knees, but she wriggles and scoots and pulls herself anywhere she wants to go. She's figured out how to get from a sitting position to her belly so she can move around. It's pretty magnificent.

... enthralled by real food. She's still nursing, but anytime there is real food around, she wants it. She'll watch me like a hawk anytime I put food in my mouth, and loves to sit and watch me make dinner. So far, her favorites are: avocados, potatoes, carrots, apples, limes[!], and rice crackers.

... babbling. Lots. [And I'm pretty sure she said "mama" the other day...] She talks and talks, especially to her sister. She thinks Afton is the most entertaining human alive, and they talk and sing together and it just melts me.

... so beautiful. I say it all the time, but it truly happens almost every time we go out. People stop me in the store to tell me what a beautiful baby I have. She really is gorgeous!

... figuring out life with TWO teeth! Both of her bottom front teeth popped through within days of each other.  She loves to chew on everything - fingers. toys. paper. and candy canes.








We love this little ray of sunshine. She's the happiest baby in all the land.
And we truly are a blessed and happy little family!
