6 Month Cara

September 6th

You love blowing raspberries!  Your sentences consist of babble mixed with raspberries.  "Aaa baa baa *raspberry* baa".  It's adorable.  You have angry raspberry sentences as well.

Henry says his favorite thing about you is the way you roll over.  He did his fairly accurate impression of you rolling.  You throw your head into the floor and roll.  I wish I had a video of it.

You still stick your tongue out all of the time.  When your tongue isn't sticking out, you have your lip tucked in as if you are biting it.  Today you had your lip tucked in and smiled and I saw a dimple.  So sweet!

You had baby food last week.  Squash was your first food.  You ate quite a lot for your first solid food.  I don't know which is your next food, but I have been making baby food for your next few months.  Produce is in season, so I'm cooking it and saving up!

Two days ago you started hamming up a little cough.  The first few teeny tiny coughs were legit.  Daddy and I laughed and you GRINNED and kept coughing.

You can sit up now!  You are getting better every day.  You sit and play with toys and sometimes regain your balance if you start to tip over.

You and your brother are both big helpers with me working.  I have been doing a lot of that from home lately and you will sit in my lap and watch a show or play with toys.  With you sitting up, you just sit unassisted in my lap or play in your walker beside me.  Your favorite thing to do while I work is chew on my phone and take pictures of yourself.  I have a million really close up pictures of your face.  You enjoy watching Disney shows while I work.  You especially like the princess ones.  I think it's the singing and the colors, but you like them!  You now have your own Netflix profile so that we can easily find the stuff you might be interested in.  As I type this, I am feeling like an awful parent.  You do not watch that many shows or movies.  We only resort to that when you are sick of the computer, toys, or the walker and I need 10 more minutes.  I just got sick of fishing through Henry's shows.  It was much faster just to set up an profile.

You have started reaching me for me sometimes.  You always lean towards me when you want me to hold you but you've started to reach for me.  I love it!
