6 Months!

And what a wonderful six months it's been!  We are so proud of our little boo.  She is the light of our lives and we love to watch her grow.  Right now Scarlett is a grabbing fool!  She loves faces and hair and just about anything she can get her little hands on.   A couple weeks ago she started to roll over from her back to her stomach while swaddled, which meant we had to quickly wean her off the swaddle.  We went from one arm out, to two arms out with the swaddle under her armpits and now she is sleeping soundly in her sleep sack!  Another new stage we've entered is solid food, which is fun.  Scarlett was not a fan at first and seemed pretty annoyed by the whole thing, but now she really seems to be liking it.  Sure, most of it ends up on her face, but we're working it!


We were told by our pediatrician to use a sippy cup to give Scarlett water, but she much prefers drinking out of a regular cup.  She gets all excited and actually knows what to do!  It's so cute to watch.  Anyway!  Next up is buying an official high chair AND and an official stroller!  Our little boohead is growing up.

Really? Water? Our Pediatrician didn't tell us that. How does she do? How much water did the doctor say to give her?

Ciaran has now tried rice cereal (BIG fan), oatmeal (meh), sweet peas (WHAT???) and squash (yum). It's so amazing to see how much he understands how to do. I think he did the sign for milk yesterday (but he's awfully grabby, too, so he could have just been going for my nose). But at least I'm pretty sure he understands it. What a honey. I can't wait for Boohead and CLO'B to meet!

Our ped recommended 2-3 ounces of water a day. Scarlett LOVES it - she smiles and kicks her legs when she sees the cup! Too darned cute. We're going to start veggies in a couple days, maybe squash?
