Six months post

I wrote this post almost three weeks ago... so it's a little outdated. But she's so cute that I had to share.

Anya is 6 months old! I can't imagine our family without her. At the same time, I can't believe that I have KIDS! So crazy.

For me to remember:
- You started eating baby cereal and bananas this last week. You enjoy both! Really, much more excited about the banana than the rice cereal (which I mix with water), but hey, I don't blame you.
- You still wake up at least 3-4 times per night. I feed you half of those times and lately your dad has been going in to help you get back to sleep the other half of the times.
- You can sit up pretty well, but still fall over when you get too excited about playing with your feet.
- You pinch. Oh you can pinch. You especially like to grab the skin on my neck and pinch it while pulling on it. Ouch.
- You still don't really care to roll over. You roll to your side, but then fall back to your original position.
- You absolutely love your brother. When you're upset and he starts paying attention to you, you get really happy and forget whatever it was that was bothering you.
- You nap twice. Once about two hours after you wake up (for an hour or so) and then again around 1pm (same time as Lucas -- it's nice for mama).
- You are getting really good at grabbing things within your reach. You can grab your pacifier and put it into your mouth.
- No sign of teeth yet, but you drool a lot.
- When you are in your bouncer, you REALLY bounce yourself.
- You are 17lbs 3oz.
- You are so sweet, but also showing some personality. If you drop a toy or someone set you down when you'd rather be held, you let out the most heart-wrenching, dramatic cry. This is already making me nervous about the drama to come.

You have produced yet another stunning child. And I love the nostalgia of this post.

Was Lucas as chunky as Anya? You know I LOVE a chunky baby. I can't tell if she reminds me of Zach or you. Guess that makes her a good mix.

I really like this. It makes me want to try to better record things about RosalĂ­a's life. It has been hard to write about her to the extent that I wanted to since she was born.

I love the blog by the way. Interesting and thoughtful. :-)
