How could Juliet already be 6 months old?? It's crazy how quickly the time has gone and how quickly she seems to be developing. Seeing other people's babies grow up seems so predictable and expected to me, but the fact that MY baby is 6 months old just seems strange. It's like as I'm looking in from the outside, I can watch it happening, but as I live it, it's in slow motion and then one day I realize that time has zoomed by. Watching her grow up is so bittersweet. On one hand, I really can't wait for her to play with Aubrey and REALLY interact, but on the otherhand, I really miss that fall asleep on your chest, squishy, snuggly baby stage.
At 6 months, Little Miss Juliet...
* You are FINALLY getting some hair. Not much, but it's definitely thickening up. We're still unsure of the color, but the roots seem to be looking golden.
*You have your two bottom teeth. I'm pretty sure you're currently cutting more, and it's no fun!
*You want to crawl and get up on those hands and knees to try. You haven't quite mastered going forward, but occassionally get a little frog jump forward, followed by 10 scoots backward. It's a work in progress.
* You don't like the texture of baby food. You only want food you can chew. Instead of mashing the avacados and banana, we chunk it. You also love yogurt melts, cheerios (in pieces), teething biscuits, and little bites of bread. You don't quite have the pincher down yet, but you pick it up and shove your whole fist in.
*You were 16lbs 9oz and 26.5 inches at your last appointment. That puts you in the 50th percentile again.
*You are a social butterfly. You always smile when strangers talk to you and will willingly let me hand you to random people. Your sister NEVER let me do that.
*You love swimming!
*I'm able to sit you up in the bath and bathe you now as long as I'm right next to you in case of slips.
* Your favorite "toys" are remote controls, phones, brushes and spoons.
* You went on your first flight (out of the womb ;) ). You did great and loved the flight attendant taking you on a tour of the plane.
* You're a smiley girl!
We love you so much, Juliet!

Isn't it amazing how quickly it goes by? It seriously seems like yesterday that we sat at the crepe place, totally pregnant...and you had Juliet the next day!
She is super cute...it will be fun to get her together with Truman when we get back! Maybe they will be more social than our older children!
