Six Months!

I can't believe my baby is 6 months old! Seriously...I need time to stop. I love, love this age! She smiles non stop, laughs so much now and just gets so excited about every little thing. She had me cracking up this morning. I was holding her and walked into our closet to pick out my clothes for work and she started kicking and laughing and reaching her arms out for my clothes. She loves being in there and she loves just looking at all of her clothes, bows and shoes in her closet too. Oh Lucy, we are going to have so much fun shopping! Happy 6 month birthday Lulu. Mommy and Daddy love you THIS much! Here is what Lucy is doing now:

• Smiling constantly. Your absolute favorite thing is to be on my hip and walk around the house so you can touch everything! You get so excited and kick your legs a million miles an hour, have both of your arms stretched out to touch anything in reach, and have the biggest smile on your face.
• Laughing all the time now and we love it!
  
• Eating oatmeal cereal and baby food. You adore your oatmeal cereal and I think you are going to be just like your Daddy and want oatmeal all the time. So far we have tried green beans, peas, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes. Of all the baby food, you definitely loved sweet potatoes the most.
• Grabbing everything with both hands.
• Sitting all by yourself. You are now sitting completely upright and as long as you don't get distracted you can stay up all by yourself for quite a while.
• You're a pretty crazy sleeper. Since you've been sick you've been waking up around 3 times a night, so we've been bringing you to bed with us usually after that second time. You can twist yourself around and you pinch and pull at our eyes and lips. We can't help but laugh (which makes you laugh) even though it's 1:00 or 2:00 a.m., but you're just too darn cute. You also talk sooo loud at night which cracks us up even more.
  
• You are talking all the time now. You've always been a pretty noisy baby; even as a newborn you grunted constantly. Now you are babbling up a storm. I think you will be a good little talker and I can't wait to have conversations with you. My favorite thing is when we lay down and I whisper to you. You focus so hard and touch my face and talk back to me. I think I tear up every time.

I love these pictures below. You were kicking your legs so fast, I thought you were going to start a fire! I love the last picture. By this time you were cracking yourself up!
