6 months Brooklyn Clare

Brooklyn Bear, Princess, Princess Pea, Buggy,

    You are an incredible blessing in all of our lives! You put a smile on everyone's face and truly make our days so much brighter. You are the easiest baby ever!! You hardly cry, you are quick to smile, a giggle machine with your brother, and just so laid back! Not a day goes by that we don't count our blessings with you! Jackson is constantly looking for his Brooklyn Bear and gets sad when "booklyn take a nap." You ADORE him! As our babysitter put it, "the two of them are just better together." Agreed!! Even when he rough houses with you (which gives us all panic attacks) you just laugh and smile at him! Occasionally when you have had enough you let him have it (whew I don't want you too laid back!). This month you have not wanted to be put down and love your snuggles- I contribute this to being sick and teething. Naturally right after your baptism Jackson got a really bad cold,  I got really sick and then you of course got it! Other than that you are one healthy lady.

Milestones:

• Rolling machine! All over the house! It's to the point I'm confused on how you got there.
• Bouncing in the jumperoo! Def not as crazy as your brother was but you will bounce around for a bit.
• You can now push up on your arms straight and then you kick your feet really fast as if you are going to take off but you need to get that belly off the floor before you can crawl- this has been happening for a couple months now.
• Babbling! Literally on your 6 month birthday you babbled "mama" yay! Lots of cooing and noise making!
• 2 days past your 6 month birthday you decided to sit up on your own to play with a toy!! 
• No real waving but rolling your wrists
• First taste of food!! You do not like baby food. We are about 4 days in and so far you aren't having it. So we continue trying new foods!
• You are really into grabbing everything! I swear you might just crawl to get something soon!

      Nothing new on the health front! You are officially in your crib and were sleeping from 8-4 am until you got sick. Your naps are all over the place.. still working on that one. Still exclusively breastfed and refuse to take a bottle from mommy!  

       Brooklyn we love watching you discover and meet new milestones everyday! We can't wait to see what next month brings!

Side by side of Jackson and Brooklyn!
