I have a six month old!

I am just so amazed by how quickly time has flown by. My sweet little baby cakes turned 6 months old on Mother's Day, 5-13-12! These past few months have been pure bliss.

Sweet Molly Anne

6 Month Check up - May 14, 2012
Dr. Allen Hewett

You weigh 18 lbs 8.5 ounces and are in the 92nd percentile

You are 27 inches long which is also in the 92nd percentile
and you're 70th percentile for head circumference

You are currently eating Stage 1 fruits and vegetables twice a day
and 7 ounces of milk every 4 hours

You have trained us on putting you to bed earlier
You go to bed anywhere between 7-8pm (closer to 7)
and wake up around 7... we have been so very blessed

A little fun fact from our doctors visit is that Dr. Hewett said his sister is having a baby and naming her Molly. He said he instantly thought of us, because our Molly is the only one he has out of over 2,000 patients he sees! WOW!

He has also told us to introduce table food, but mush it up really well. He said if we are having pancakes with syrup, to mush it up. It makes me a little nervous. I still went out and purchased a ton of stage 2 and 3 foods to introduce along the way! I did try feeding her blended pasta, but I think the tomatoes may be a little strong for now. She gagged... I won't tell Daddy, he was the one that cooked! We are also suppose to start feeding you food 3 times a day! As soon as we get use to doing one thing, its time to change.

Molly is so very very active! It's amazing how much she grows week by week. She has recently started scooting backwards-- it makes me laugh!! She'll keep going until she gets stuck under the bed.

 

Molly loves the Jumperoo!! She moves all around in the seat to play with all the different sides. She lasts a pretty long time in there too!

Molly wants to be sitting up ALL the time. I expect her to have abs because she is constantly doing crunches to sit up!

For a little girl that didn't like being on your belly, she surely flips over to it quickly! She has also started flipping to her belly at night. I check on her constantly. If back is best, why do babies flip over?!

Bernie and Molly are becoming great friends! Molly laughs at him, and tries to pet him. He's actually very good with her! Willie said she grabbed his ear today and he yelped and ran away. Poor Bernie. This is only the beginning! Paisley just stays away.

Molly and Gammy!!

Sassy!

Morning naps are the best! I get my cup of coffee and she snoozes for a little while! I am able catch up on Live! with Kelly

The new stuffed piggy from Super G-ma and G-pa! Her name is Parker!

My first Mother's Day was wonderful! This is a super special gift
Willie and Molly made for me!

Hanging out on Parker! Molly is wearing the whale bubble I "accidentally" won during an auction on Smocked Auctions one night on Facebook.

We invested in some play mats for our hardwood floors! Something to help cushion the fall now that Molly is sitting up on her own.. wobbly and all. So we now have a little play area! 

I love being a mother! Molly makes it the best!

I love spending every day with her! It was a little rough working at the florist over Mother's Day week, but I made it through. The hardest was Friday night when I didn't get home until 11pm! I only was able to see her through breakfast that morning! It took all of me not to pull her out of her crib so I could hold her!

She is just soooooo sweet! How lucky are we?!
