SIX Months!

Wow!  Time sure does fly.  I can't believe Luci is now 6 months old.  Look at her - isn't she such a beauty!  She is such a wonderful addition to our family.  Every night we go to bed talking about how amazing she is and how much we love her!  The picture to the left is from her 6 month day and also Wylie's birthday party.  She got all dressed up in a party dress, tights, and shiny shoes.  I can't believe how well she sits up and takes it all in!

Luci continues to be the greatest sleeper.  Sometimes sleeping over 12 hours at night!  She's on a great schedule that we hope will continue when she starts daycare next month.  In the morning and after naps, she always greets us with her little head poking up above the crib railing with the biggest grin.  David has really enjoyed being home with her, and if there was any way we could swing it - he would stay home with her until summer.  Of course, my preference would be for ME to be home with her!


  
Anyway - Luci is rocking on her hands and knees but not crawling.  Instead she is rotating her body when she is on her belly to try and reach toys.    Lately she has been blowing raspberries on our arms, which is quite entertaining.  She loves to bounce and go on daily walks with dad.  When it's not raining she really enjoys the swing her grandma sent her.  She is getting better at eating - opening her little mouth in the cutest little "O" to let the spoon in.  She's eating avocado, sweet potato, bananas, pears, and rice cereal.  We sometimes give her a MumMum cookie or a couple of cheerio-like treats to feed herself while we are eating dinner.  She has quite the appetite and barely spills any food!  She enjoys sitting in her walker.  She is less frustrated in it because she can see and play with toys.  When the cats walk by, she tries to reach out and get them.  They have been very patient with her and seem to like her.  Luci loves to take baths.  She just kicks and kicks in the tub.  She really enjoys the bathtime book that Troy, Amanda, and Henry gave her, especially the part of the book where the bath water splashes all over her :)

She is just so stinkin' cute, and perfect! Does she do anything wrong? You would have the majority of moms be so jealous with her 12 hour nighly sleeps!! I bet you count your lucky stars a million times over.
