A Half a Year Old!














Isabella is 6 months old, and in only 9 days she'll be 7 months! She weighs 17.5 pounds and is 28.5 inches long, according to the doctor, that's extremely tall. She's not sitting up, or even attempting to, so the doctor is having us take her to a physical therapist to see what's going on. Whether it's low muscle tone (since she HATES tummy time) or something more serious (I'm praying it's not). She says "da-da" allllll day long, it's the cutest thing I've ever heard. She smiles a lot and is so well behaved. She sleeps through the night and takes two naps a day. She's also teething, but most of the time she's a real champ about it. Of course, she has her days when her gums are swollen and she just wants to fuss it out. She loves any toy that makes noise when she shakes it, and she goes crazy shaking it as hard as she can. She'll even play in her jumper now, but she won't jump (another thing that worries me. Babies LOVE to jump!) We're really excited for all the upcoming holidays; Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas. I can't wait to share them with her, although she doesn't understand, I do and that's all that matters ;) Some mornings when I go to get her out of bed, she's managed to get her head where her feet go and vice versa. I have no idea how she does it. She's growing so fast, she barely wears her clothes for very long. She still ADORES her daddy and lights up when she see's him, but she also breaks into a smile whenever I smile at her, which makes me feel really good! I'm hoping things go well as far as her physical milestones and that she's just, as her doctor put it, "strong willed."
