6 Months

Happy six months to our adorable baby girl. Time is flying by and we are cherishing every minute that we have with her. We are so lucky for the happiness and joy that she brings in our home. We love her more and more everyday.

Fun things about Tessa:
-She army crawls now and is really fast
-She gets up on her hands and knees 
-She is sleeping from 8:30-7:30 and is really good about putting herself to sleep. Most nights, and naps, we put her down awake and she cries for about ten minutes and than goes to sleep
-She still wakes up happy and babbling in the mornings
-She takes a nap about an hour after she wakes up, another around noon, and then again around three. Somedays when she is really tired she takes another nap around five
-I'm not producing as much milk as I used to so we supplement her twice a day. I tried everything before we gave her formula but the little chunk loves to eat. We give her rice cearal with the formula morning and night and then she eats her food for lunch and still drinks a whole bottle. 
-She still doesn't have any teeth
-She is getting more vocal everyday. She sounds like she is saying "momma" and "dadda"
-She has a fake cough that she does all the time
-She knows her name
-Loves being in her jumper
-She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. I can't wear necklaces anymore because she is constantly chewing on them
-She loves to facetime with Aunt Whit and Teig (work on that Mom!)
-She is still wearing 3-6 months, 6-9 months, and is now in size 2 diapers
-She can hold up her own bottle but she chooses not to a lot of the time
-When she is tired she does a cute little sucking sound
-She likes to sleep with a blanky
-She is still sleeping her in her bouncer in her crib but its mostly because I'm afraid of putting her in the crib by herself. 
-She thinks Baxter is so funny and loves to watch him run around and play
-Her little bald spot is completely gone now and she is getting lots more hair
-She has gotten really good at going from sitting up to army crawling
-She goes straight to the outlets and things that she shouldn't. When she knows that we are going to take something away from her she starts smiling and army crawling faster to try and beat us to it
-When we are in the store and people talk to her she just watches them but she does love everyone
