Can she really be SIX months old already??

Sweet, sweet, Naomi. You are six months old today. I can hardly believe it's already been half a year! Yikes! Where does the time go? You continue to bring so much joy to our lives. Everyone we meet comments on how happy you are. :) You are a joyful little lady.And speaking of little...you are still a petite little thing...although growing wonderfully. You still fit into most of your 0-3 month clothes and have moved up to quite a few 3-6 month clothes as well. A few different people have also commented on how beautiful your hands are. It's not something that I've ever thought about, but the fact that several people have made a point to tell us made me smile. :) A lot of people are also saying that you look a lot like mommy! I hope that's a good thing for you! Hehe. :)You are still rolling over all the time and have started pushing up off the floor...although you're probably still a couple months away from crawling. You sit up pretty well, but still need assistance with that as well. Developmentally, you are right on track. You were late with reaching out for things, but now you do that with ease...and do it all the time! :)We haven't started you on solid foods quite yet, but we are planning to this week! You still nurse A LOT...every 3-4 hours. Day and night. Some nights, you even nurse every 2-3 hours. ICK. I don't enjoy those nights as much. But I know this phase will be over before I know it, so I'm totally okay with it. Sleep deprived...but okay.You haven't cut any teeth yet, but have definitely been teething. You're drooling like crazy and gnawing on everything. :) You enjoy spending time in your exersaucer or baby swing, but mostly like being held. You're still spitting up a lot with the reflux, but we're hoping that'll get better once we do start you on solids.You LOVE watching your big brother. He's starting to enjoy you more as well...and calls you, "Nomi" or "Momi." And I can already tell you're gonna be an animal lover just like Isaac. You are fascinated with Mona...and laugh at her often. You also enjoy smiling and laughing at yourself in the mirror. SUPER cute! Oh...and when you smile, you're entire face lights up. It's awesome...and simply adorable.You have also been quite the little chatterbox lately. Your favorite thing to say is, "alah, alah, alah" over and over again. Kinda sounds like you're singing. We've also heard "neh" and "goo" sounds from you lately, and the latest is "dada". You're very conversational. :)I look forward to watching you grow over the next six months! I'd be fine if time would just slow down for awhile. :) But I'm excited to see you develop into a little person! We love you more than words can say, sweet princess. Happy six-month birthday!!

Love,
Mommy
