6 Months!

It's hard to believe that we've had Peyton as part of our family for a half of a year already!!! It has really flown by. We're loving (almost) every minute of it and love her more every day.

This month our sweet girl:
-- is rolling both ways - it's pretty funny to watch her end up on the other side of the room
-- has explored making new sounds with her mouth (still no words yet)
-- loves peek-a-boo, especially when we pop out behind furniture or stacks of pillows
-- hates how cold the pool is at first but loves to kick and play in the water
-- still hates being left alone in a room
-- is sitting up on her own for more and more time (usually around 30 seconds these days unless she gets distracted by a toy)
-- has discovered how funny she is - LOVES to watch videos of herself on our phones
-- is getting more and more social, she could spend hours watching older babies (especially her friend Preston who lives two apartments over)
-- is eating like a champ and made it to the next level of baby food
-- has started picking up puffs to eat - they make it to her mouth about half of the time
-- made her first road trip! (to Dallas to see her baby-friend Mary get blessed)
-- naps in her crib well, though the frequency and length of her naps changes every day
-- is sleeping much better at night (mom couldn't be happier about this)
-- LOVES when dad comes home from school and saves her biggest smiles for him
-- just barely got a little ticklish, mostly her feet, neck, and armpits
-- loves going to the child watch room at the YMCA while mom works out
-- has started to figure out her bouncer seat and gets really excited when she finds a rhythm
-- still has crazy hair that goes into the cutest pigtails
-- sits up in the grocery cart while mom does shopping, but only if the buckle is holding her up
-- enjoys people watching
-- has the cutest laugh that we can't get enough of
