Well, amazingly, Bowen turns 6 month's old today! Stewart and I have been marveling at that fact all week. It is so hard to believe that she came into our lives half a year ago and in double that time, she'll be 1 year old! Time is definitely moving way too quickly and I know it won't slow down any time soon. I took a walk down memory lane the other day and thought it would be fun to post a picture a month to see how Bowen's changed and grown. To look back and remember how tiny she was is incredible - only 6 lbs 4 oz when she arrived! 6 months later and she's nearly 15 lbs! And that's not all - she's doing lots of new and fun things all the time.
Here's a list of her latest laccomplishments...
- Sitting up all by herself - old hat by now!
- Doing a little wiggle on her belly (maybe the precursor to a crawl?)
- Grabbing anything in reach and changing hands easily - very interested in phones, glasswear, food, hair, noses and virtually anything that is out of reach! She amazes me with how far she can reach while sitting up!
- Wants to stand (assisted) all the time and has very strong legs - maybe from all the jumping she's doing in her "Rainforest"! She goes crazy in that thing!
- Blabbering and using her voice-- sometimes with a very high pitched squeal! She's yet to settle the bet between Stewart and myself as to whether "DaDa" or "MaMa" will be her first word! (We are both trying hard!)
- Laughing and giggling - sometimes unsolicited, which is the BEST.
- Eating a wide variety of fruit and veg purees! Favorite = Still Sweet Potato
- Touching our faces and giving "kisses" (open mouth slobbering!) - but some of the sweetest moments we've ever known.
- Interested in the touch and feel of different textures - especially upholstery fabric and carpet.
- Loves to suck on her toes when their available!
- Smiles when I talk about "DaDa"
- Loves chewing on and "playing with" her tongue- I do believe it might be the cutest tongue in the world!
- Has become quite attached to her "Lamby" - a comforter by a company called Angel Dear. She snuggles up with it and sucks on Lamby's ears which soothes her almost instantaneously!
Our baby girl is growing up before our very eyes, making each day happier than the last!
Happy happy 6 Months to our little lover girl!
