Willow is six months

Oh where do I begin? Sweet Willow just turned six months old, on February 2nd, to be exact. While I'm am trying to savor these early days because babies in particular grow so fast, I cannot for the life of me, get time to stand still. Oh I have moments here and there where it feels as though time has stood still, like when I breathe her in when she falls asleep in my arms, or gazes at me when I'm nursing her, but for the most part, I fully realize this is going by far too quickly. Chris and I often comment on how we couldn't have custom ordered a better baby. She really is a dream. Laid back personality, just so darn content all the time, and full of smiles. She now able to sort of scoot a big to reach toys around her, so usually when I put a blanket down for her, she'll be off of it the next time I look. She has a tooth that is JUST popping out now. I think it's bothered her a bit lately because while she fully sleeps through the night, she's been a bit of a booger to actually get her to sleep. It has been taking up to six tries lately! Naps haven't been quite as bad but similar. 

So far, Willow has still only had breastmilk, but I may cut up some food and see if she's ready to feed herself. I'm really not in a huge hurry for this because I know once I do, her poops will dramatically change and start to stink. It was also make cloth diapering not so much fun as before. I'm not sure what Willow weighs or percentiles and all that since she doesn't go the doctors, so I'll need to step on a scale and subtract her weight to get a good idea. My guess is around 18 pounds though. 

Levi and I did a little photo shoot for her in the backyard right on her half birthday, and even though she was pretty tired, she did well and I got some good shots! It's also been fun seeing the older girls engaging with Willow more. I think they are more interested because she's more interactive now, but they've both been more hands on with her for sure. Levi still gets the award for who can make her laugh the hardest and easiest though.
