The last 6 months have flown by...in some regards. Some days I feel like I've always been a mom and we've had Pheebs for forever- other days it seems like I was just in the hospital having her. She is growing up so fast and I try to treasure every snuggle time, every giggle time, and every feeding time. When I cuddle and watch her as she's nestled against my chest, my heart swells with love and pride for our little Phoebe.Some recent milestones are:
-She has two bottom teeth
-She reaches out for us
-She's growing back blond and brunette hair that fell out
-She's eating solid foods once a day
-Peek-a-boo is her favorite game
-She has taken quite a few confidant steps while holding onto one finger of each of my hands
-Whenever we come out of her room after naps, she looks around to see if people are here.
-She smiles and laughs whenever people are over to our house.
She sleeps about 10 hours or more at night, a 2 hour nap in the morning and a couple of shorter naps in the afternoon.
She loves drinking water straight out of a normal glass.
She smiles and giggles at friends and family on Skype
She loves watching us do anything- from making supper, to cleaning, to playing cards- she will sit contentedly and just watch usWhenever we say "Phoebe" she knows we're talking about her and she looks at us and smiles
She loves playing with herself in the mirror
When she's really tired she just sticks her head in my neck and zonks out; she loves to be all cuddled up and warm - just like her mommy.
She is almost sitting by herself
She loves peek-a-boo
To celebrate her 6 month-day (and a good excuse to eat some cake) I made her a double-layer chocolate cake, and we had Joy, Mely, Ashley, and Lawrence over.
Joy and Mely even brought Pheebs a present! A sweet pink boat for the bathtub and some bubbles!!
She is such a blessing and God is teaching me so much through her.
