Well we are just a couple of days away from Squishy (see Finding Nemo for explanation of name) being 6 months old! She is becoming more and more FUN and her personality is beginning to show much more. Though she has the Medstud's good looks, she certainly has a lot of my personality.
People comment on how the time has flown and how she is getting so big so fast and I'm sure she is but I'm just so content in the day to day moments that I do not feel like they are fleeting. The time has gone by quite nicely for us; not too slow and not too fast. God has definitely made us enjoy these last 6 months with her and we are so grateful for the time He has given us with this sweet precious child.
At just shy of 6 months Squishy:
. is still in 3 months clothing and has a tiny head. But is one solid chick
. is the sweetest thing in the world when she wakes up. She is all smiles and coos
.is a celebrity everywhere we go lol. Everyone just wants to hold her (we don’t let everyone get their wishes with that one though for the sake of protecting her and not getting her over stimulated)
. loves her Mama and wants to be with me a lot more. That's a great feeling cause' I know the day is coming where she will be a complete Daddy's girl
. gets excited to see Daddy coming through the door
.has a lot more energy than I do
.does not like to cuddle, she's too busy with what to put next in her mouth
. has 3 solid foods a day and nurses 5 times. The girl LOVES her food. I'm going to be introducing papaya and mango soon :) I make all her baby food and she loves watching me make it
.we pray before each meal with her (we want it to be a regular part of her life)
.she got her 1st name inscribed Bible (best gift a child can get)
. naps on average 6 hours a day. She still sleeps between 10 and 12 hours a night, usually 11 though
. likes to stand with the support of furniture or our hands
. no longer cries in the car and actually loves going out on errands or for walks
. finally sleeps in her car seat when out on the road
. she is starting to make a very high pitched excited squeal
We are still falling in love with her each and every day. Our marriage has been great and keeping Christ at the center has been the reason for it all. We still have things in perspective and haven't gotten lost in our child or made our home a child-centered home. Jesus is at the center, then mama and papa then baby. God is good to have given us this sweet girl to love and nurture and grow into a godly woman! We pray for her salvation often and we simply love being her parents!
Happy half-birthday Squishy!
