…and half a year flew by. Now, this little lady is turning six months old this week.
I’m sad it is going by so fast. We are probably done having children, so I want to hang on to the baby stage as long as possible and it certainly doesn’t hurt that thus far Miss Penny is pretty much the easiest baby ever. (Her sister, on the other hand, was very demanding, so we know how lucky we are!)
Last night she slept for 9 straight hours in her crib, then she woke up to have breakfast, played in her exercauser for a little while, then fell back asleep for another two-hour nap.
She is very calm (so much so that we are actually a little concerned about her hearing) and unless she is hungry you probably won’t be hearing a peep out of her. Maybe some cooing, since she has recently started making the most adorable noises ever as she experiments with trying to talk.
She gives “kisses” by opening her mouth as wide as she can and gnawing on your cheek. Iloveit.
She is starting to wave a little. Sort of. Sometimes.
Other skills include rolling over, almost being able to sit on her own, eating solid foods, the most adorable giggle in the universe when you tickle her neck, finally sleeping in her crib (as opposed to co-sleeping on the sofa or chillin’ in her car seat all night) and not liking to poop in public places, which mommy appreciates.
Also, she will be graduating top of her class from Harvard in 2034 and on the Presidential ticket in 2048, although we might have to wait another 4 years for her sister to finish serving her second term. (Their brother will be too busy for political affairs, as he has aspirations to join the Navy and pilot the Blue Angels.)
