Nora Rose: Six Months!

It feels like these days the only posts I can crank out are ones about our sweet babies, which is totally fine and are my favorite kind.  However, I do have some crafty, recipe, miscellaneous posts floating around in my head that I just can't seem to find time to write up.

Oh well, so it goes.  And so does the time.  I think at this stage in my life if I'm not trying to get babies to sleep, then I'm trying to get myself to sleep ;)

Which brings me to sweet N.  She is six months old today!!!

And she couldn't be sweeter.

 (she still hasn't quite gotten the hang of the whole "smile for mama" thing :)

Here's how our girl is shaping up...

~ She's right around 14 and a half pounds (of pure baby love).

~ She still eats around every 2.5 to 3 hours.

~ She has now tried carrots, sweet potatoes, and bananas.  Bananas have not been a hit so far, but she can down some sweet 'taters!

~ She's more or less on a good sleeping schedule with a nap around 9 am, another nap around 1 pm, and one last (small) nap around 4 or 5 pm.  She's still waking up a time or two at night (on good nights), but things have been a bit more complicated this time around since she's sharing a room with her sis and we haven't let her cry it out as much as we did with Elise.  But it's ok, we'll get there.  Sleep is overrated anyway ;)

~ She really likes smiling at her big sissy and follows almost everything she does.  

~ She's ALMOST crawling.  She does the army crawl and can get from one place to the other, but isn't "real" crawling yet.  She's also sitting up, but can't stay there on her own for more than 30 seconds or so without falling over.

(Had to throw that one in there...makes me giggle :)

~ This girl has such a sweet spirit and we're SO thankful she's a part of our fam...love the mess outta her!

Happy half year, Norny boo!
