Memorial Day Weekend 2016

Violet Aurora at 6 Months

Lady Violet

What a ray of sunshine you are in my life!

And in your daddy's life.

And pretty much anyone who looks at you because chances are you'll give them a full out gummy smile.

Now that you are sleeping 11-12 hours every night you are happy. Furthermore, MAMA is happy and now we are all having so much fun! You started sleeping through the night at 4 and a half months. 

And somewhere between then and now, you even graduated from the laundry room and you sleep soundly in the same room as your sister!

It was a day to celebrate for sure. I am still so so so grateful that you are now sleeping through the night. That was a long road and so much work but we did it, Baby Girl! 

 You actually enjoy tummy time as long as you don't get bored! That little smile...

Your sis is learning how to share with you and how to take care of you. 

She always smiles when she sees you and my goodness do you adore her. You look for her and your eyes always follow the sound of her voice. I love watching you interact, it is so rewarding. (Except for when Amberly steals your toys, etc)

5 months

My little snuggle buddy. I still try to take naps with you a few days a week because I know I will blink and you'll no longer be a baby. :(

 We love love love your cheeks and your chunky legs!

You have stolen my heart.

And you still have a bit of a temper. Mostly if you get bored you want everyone to know about it!

A few Sundays ago, all Mommy and Daddy wanted to do was take a nap but you kept blowing bubbles and grabbing our faces and obviously weren't too keen on the idea. It's cute now but we were pretty tired at the time!

My world.

 You LOVE the water. You just coo and kick and splash the entire time, no matter how tired you are. 

We love our family swim days. :)

And while you are still my spirited little one, you are such a little sweetheart!

So darling. 

I am crazy about my new double stroller, and even more crazy about being a mom to you girls.

At six months...
You weigh 16.7 lbs (50th percentile)
You are 25.75 inches long (48th percentile)
Your head is 16.4 inches (25th percentile)

Your two bottom teeth popped out the day after Mother's Day and it looks like more are coming! SO CUTE although I'm always sad to say goodbye to the completely gummy grins.

Your hair is growing on top albeit it is a painfully slow process! Ha we do love the little tuft of dark hair right at your neck line though, you get lots of comments on that awesome little mullet you've got going on. :)

You love and I mean love eating solid foods. Our first try with the avocado was kind of a bust because I didn't mash it up well enough for you and it all came back up. Second try with the banana mashed up really well was a success. I think currently your favorite food is peanut butter or watermelon though. You get pretty excited about getting those flavors in your mouth! You have also tried broccoli, strawberries, apple sauce, rice, and today you loved trying some of Amberly's green smoothie.

Your eyes are changing. They still look blue sometimes if you're wearing blue but they seem more of a dark green/hazel color these days just like your Grandpa Mecham. :) You are breathtaking.

We adore you and the light you spread every day. You are perfect. And life is good.
