Chubba turns 6 months on the 17th!

It seems like just yesterday (well sometimes) that Brightyn was born. The first 6 months is always hard for me with a new baby and adjusting to a whole new routine/schedule. BUT, we made it this far! I remember when Kinlee turned 1, it was like this big celebration for me, like, "yeah, I survived the first year." Now with Brightyn, I feel the same way. Yeah, we made it through the first 6 months :) Brightyn is such a great baby. She loves to cuddle and loves to sleep in my arms. Yes, I admit it, I will hold her for over an hour sometimes when she sleeps in my arms and just stare at her. Even when I could be doing a million other things, but I know that one day she will either be to big for me to hold, or she won't want me to hold her anymore. Brightyn FINALLY rolled over for the first time a few weeks ago. She had not done it since, but then tonight she kept doing it over and over again. She actually loves being on her belly and being a little snoopy snooper so she can see what's going on everywhere. She loves her excersaucer and has recently started jumping in it, literally! Lately she has been snubbing her bottle and prefers her big girl food. We have her 6 month appt. Wed. so we will see where she is at on the charts. She is by no means struggling in the weight department. I have also started a FEW of the baby signs with her (eat and more) are the two that we used a ton with Kinlee.
It's funny, Kinlee will sometimes still do the sign for more when she wants more of something, it just became a habit for her... Brightyn loves her big "deedee" "sissy". We play hide and seek with Kinlee and Brightyn squeels in delight. This is the age that I aboslutely love. They start doing SO much more, and become so independent. I am not wishing away time, just looking forward to what the future brings. Love you little deedee!
















She barely fit in this!
Loves to zoom around with "deedee" in the hamper.

I'm glad you posted so many pictures, they are all so cute. I love her 6 mo ones, I can't believe she is 6 months already! I agree with holding them while you can, those experiences pass too quickly.
