Half a year old!

Oh my goodness my precious girl! Tomorrow you will be six months old! I just cannot believe it. You have grown so much over the past several months. Your physical growth has actually slowed a lot and you're turning into quite the petite little thing, but everything else is progressing beautifully. You are so ready to be a big sister. You sit up, roll over both ways, eat bananas, sweet potatoes, prunes and oatmeal, you laugh and talk and smile, you focus so deeply on the little details around you, you love to jump and bounce, you are just such a whole person unto yourself and it is incredible to see. As you grow older, it has been interesting to watch your personality grow and develop. While you are pretty happy most of the time, you have been becoming a little whiner as of late! Sometimes even when you're sleeping, your dad and I can hear you whining. You love people though-whether I take you to mass, to the mall, grocery shopping, or to a friend's house, you flirt with everyone in sight, dying for attention! Fr. James Mangan, a friend of ours, is very astute in picking out people's temperaments and he is pretty sure you are a melancholic. We are so excited to continue to see the revelation of all that you are! I wanted to post these pictures from when you turned three months too, to show you the change.
