Holy crap batman!! Where has the time gone!?

Bella had her check up today. A wopping 17lbs 9oz!!! JEEZE!! Shes a chunky monkey! I dont remember how long she was, its on the paper in the van.

She can roll from back to front, but still hasent figured out how to roll from front to back yet. If shes on her tummy she can turn the direction she wants...its kinda funny. She is sorta trying to use her tongue to talk more, once in a while Ill get an annoyed "mamamamaaaaaaaaaa" when shes tired or upset. She loves to bounce in her saucer, and LOVES her buggy toys! and smiling at her big brother, he is the world to her

Still trying to figure out her food situation. I was able to feed her some organic's best carrot puree's yesterday, and that didnt hurt her, so its definitely something in thoes puff's that made her tummy upset. One little step at a time! Im not pushing solids, so whatever she wants, we do. Shes starting to notice when we are eating, so maybe I will start letting her self feed soon, but I want her hand and mouth coordination to be a bit better before starting that.

One thing Im running into, is Bella gets almost claustrophobic when in someone elses house. she will start screaming almost like its an anxiety attack. Pedi said thats normal, and to just do what we're doing when it happens. I am just now able to calm her down, if shes in her nest of blankets, and no one else other than my step mom holds her. Just too much for her other wise Shes slowly getting better. But its hard to take her anywhere for fear of her getting all worked up. she LOVES my step mom, and my step mom's house, as well as my best friends house as well. Thoes are the only 2 places outside our home that I can take her to. I guess its all in good time, eh? she'll grow out of it.

So pretty much, thats our update! And I leave you with these

Happy 6 months and what a big girl she is.. <3 Love her hair and her eyes are so pretty..


I also think she'll grow out of her fears.. Do you wear her? Maybe baby wearing will help her transition better.. Plus, baby wearing so much fun and rewarding..

no I dont wear her, but am thinking about it today since we'll be going back over to my sisters house. shes already so heavy, not sure how that will be on my back - but I can definitely try it!

Awww I love the pics! I was just thinking, wait a minute, isn't she closer to 7 months like Charlotte? I guess I'm getting in a little late on this one! Anyway, she's a cutie.
