6 months old!

(this is unedited stream of consciousness-ness.... because for some reason I just can't organize this)

Oh my little Lorelei, I have fallen so deeply and totally in love with you.

We make each other laugh throughout the day
You love listening to me make up silly songs and I love listening to you practice your singing and consonant sounds.

You love your naked time, and we have finally gotten a bit of a bedtime routine down so that getting you to bed doesn't involve frustration and tears anymore (or at least, far less often)

You stick your tongue out a LOT.. probably a third of the photos I have of you includes your tongue sticking out.

You have a beautiful smile that you love sharing with almost everyone. You are a huge flirt from within the safety of your stroller or me or your dad's arms. You smile at people until they pay attention and then hide your head against my chest, over and over until you are used to their presence.

You roll over like an expert and get angry when something (or someone) stops you.

You can spend hours standing up with the aid of someone's hand or the edge of something (anything sturdy really) Luckily for us, you can't pull yourself up yet.. but that also means you can't really sit down from standing too well either.

When it is bath time, you stand at the edge of the tub and screech while the water is running. When I turn off the water, you stop screeching. Bath time is fun- you lay in the tub and kick and splash and babble until the water gets cool.

The cats are learning to mostly steer clear of you, but when you manage to touch one you squeal and try to grab the biggest handful of fur possible. Then, of course, you try to get that handful of fur into your mouth.
