6 months

I can't believe my sweet girl is already 6 months!  She is changing so much everyday and we are having a blast seeing this girl grow up.  Laina is already sitting all on her own!  The doctor today was very impressed with how advanced she is.  He said in some ways she acts like a 9 month old.   Her stats from the doctor are head 23%, weight: 16.5 lbs 54%, height: 26 in 52%.  For about a week depending on her mood me and John have been able to get Laina to say "Hi".  It's so cute!  She is also becoming very independent.  She wants to hold her bottle and feed herself.  If I hand her the spoon when she's eating she likes to try and feed herself.  It never has food on it.  She may be teething but those teeth have not shown up yet.  I wish they would already so she could get some relief.  She loves taking baths, she loves her daddy the most, she likes to be sitting or standing all the time.  She is very social.  Other little kids and teddy the dog are so funny.  She can't help but giggle at them.  She is giving kisses now too.  We didn't even try to teach her that but we do kiss her cheeks a lot.  She'll just suddenly grab your face and yell as she gives you a nice big slobbery kiss.  It's so funny!

I took some pictures of her for her 6 months.  I have been blessed with the most beautiful girl!

 This is a classic look she makes.

I love her cheeks in this one!

Her daddy is the funniest!

 These two dolls are her favorite.  She fell asleep with them right after I took this picture.

I left the room for just a second and came back to her like this.  Silly girl.

 Wearing her Christmas dress.

Opening Christmas presents.  She looks so surprised.

We opened presents as soon as she woke up but I don't think she was all the way awake yet.  She makes the funniest faces.

She tried to open her presents.

We truly have been blessed so much.  With a wonderful family.  John finally got a job after searching for 2 years.  And I was able to quit my job so I can be home with our girl.  I also sell Avon and have been for the last 3 years just for fun.  I guess as just a hobby, but now it has really taken off.  I'm saving to buy my own computer.  

Me and John were talking the other night saying that this year is going to be big for us.  We'll finally get out of debt and save for a house.  And just feeling better financially.  Since we got married we have always struggled a little financially.  So it will be nice to finally get over that mountain.
