Every month is more and more fun with you! This month you have grown less like a baby and more into a little girl (don't worry, you'll always be my little babydoll though). You love to be independent, call the shots and play by your own rules. I hope and pray you never lose that! Yes, I want to follow the rules at school and listen to your Mama and Dada, but I hope you are always a strong little girl.

Events:
You have your two bottom teeth! I am wondering if thats why you were so bad at sleeping, but they really came out of nowhere otherwise!
Eating solid foods twice a day, even though you don't really love them.
Still drinking Mama's breastmilk (30oz a day) as I am still exclusively pumping! #moo
Went to Chicago at the end of summer with Auntie, Lou, and Dada to celebrate!
Attended your first Northwestern tailgate with family!
Sitting up on your own with Mama nearby for when you decide to slam your head back.
Army crawling and rocking back and forth on all fours like a champ! You will be crawling in no time.
Finally sleeping better at night with only one feed around 4:30am. I'll take it though sweet girl. Now if only you'll nap..
Celebrated your best friend's 1st birthday!
Started at your in-home daycare MWF, Tuesdays with Auntie and Thursdays with Grandma! You have done SO well with all three. You don't love to nap everyday for everyone but you are generally so well-behaved. Everyday you are loved on SO well! Each person loves you so much which makes my Mama heart so happy. It is still a struggle to leave you, but I can already tell that the time apart is shaping you to be such a smart, adaptable baby!

You were also a model for our friends new bibs! You are so beautiful!
Half of a year has already past and I truly cannot believe it! You've changed my life over these past 6 months, making me a better person. I never knew my heart could love to this capacity, sweet girl. I love you so incredibly much!
