we've made it half a year already?!

I can't even believe I am sitting here doing a recap of Brynn's 6 months. I can't believe she is already half a year old. Time please SLOW down!!



At 6 months Brynn weighed in at 14lbs, 11oz (23%) and was 25.75 in long (44%). She is our petite baby! She also got more shots at her 6 month checkup and they were by far the worst ones yet. She was miserable the rest of the day as well as the next day.



Brynn kicked off her 6 months with a tooth! The pediatrician told us to expect for her to cut all 4 within the next month. I thought we were on a roll because a week after that she cut her second tooth. However, it stopped there and she hasn't gotten any others yet. But at least the drool has slowed down.



We got to celebrate her first Halloween and all the fun festivities that come with it. We did a family costume and she was the star of the show as Rapunzel while Brad was Flynn Ryder and I was Mother Gothel. Why are holidays a million times better with babies?!



This month we have also discovered that Brynn is a baby that thrives on a schedule. Take her off it and whoaaa we have a monster. She is her mothers child when it comes to that. She knows when she should be eating real food, taking a bath, and going to bed.


Speaking of eating real food, Brynn LOVES food. I'm really paranoid about choking (for good reason) and allergic reactions but I love how excited she gets to eat food and I'm trying to be brave and give her new foods with different textures.


Brynn isn't crawling yet but wants to be so badly. She will go from sitting to laying on her tummy and will inch backwards occasionally. She still thinks she can fly places like superman. We will get to crawling eventually but for now I'm grateful that she isn't into everything yet!


She is a major talker and will talk all day long. She also "sings" to herself and it is the cutest thing ever. Before we put her to bed I will rock with her and sing while she drinks her bottle and it's cute to hear her sing to herself once we put her in the crib. Her new thing is to sing/talk really loudly in the car for about 10 minutes and then crash. It's hilarious.

We can't wait to see what 7 months has in store for Brynn. So far it's meant being a mama's girl and becoming more aware of strangers. We are thinking she will probably start to crawl this month, and I'm hoping sooner rather than later she will start to sleep all the way through the night...wishful thinking maybe?! Only time will tell.
