They love each other so much! Melts my heart!

Reese turned eight months old Christmas Day. She continues to be such a good and happy baby. She loves to give kisses and head bumps to show she loves you which just warm my heart. She says mama, dada, baba, a-da, waves, plays peek-a-boo, likes to copy noises and things you do, is cruising all over the place, has started eating some finger foods, and loves to get into things. She weighs about 16.5 lbs and just as petite as can be. She is down to two naps a day and usually takes a pretty good nap. Sometimes she takes a shorter nap in the morning and likes to go to bed early at 7.

Sometimes she gets her feelings hurt and puckers up her bottom lip and has the saddest cry. She adores her big brother and just lights up when he comes in the room. She is a mommas baby for sure and is more resistant about going to men she doesn't know.

We enjoyed our fall this year! Activities included: pumpkin patch, carving pumpkins, and Halloween.

Cooper was a Red Power Ranger and Reese just wore her cute Halloween outfit.

I have been so excited about doing this post. Reese had a lot of first this month. She started sitting up on exactly her 6 month birthday then about 2 weeks later crawling, and a few days after crawling she started  pulling up. She is all over the place and into everything now. She doesn't really play with toys much but crawls around and finds odd things to play with. Haha

She was also sick for the first time:( Poor baby had an URI, then a week later the croup, and 3 days after the croup had an ear infection. It took her a good 2 weeks to get over it all and finally feel better.

She also started eating some finger foods like puffs, teething biscuits, and bananas. She has liked pretty much any food she has tried so far. We also took her off her reflux medicine and she seems to be doing fine without it! Yay!

She weights about 15-16 lbs.

She is so sweet too! You tell her to give you lovins' and she puts her head against yours with a big smile! It just melts my heart!

Poor baby didn't feel good at all and the steroids made her restless and have trouble sleeping.

First time to stand up in her crib.

Yum! She decided to smear blueberries all over her face.

This is her official 6 month picture!

Our little Reese is 6 months old and a busy little girl.As you can tell from the pictures she is sitting up and trying hard to crawl. She is starting to babble and has the biggest, most beautiful smiles. She is eating lots of different kinds of baby food and doesn't seem to be picky.

Weight: 14.7lbs  23%

Height: 24in.  16%

She was sitting beside the mattress and managed to crawl up to see what bubba was watching. Haha

Big brother Cooper continues to be a big helper!
