I cannot believe our baby girl is 6 months old! We had a fun half-birthday party for her this afternoon,which I will write about and post pictures of later. For now here is her 6 month letter and pictures!
Dear Sage,
Happy Half Birthday! You are ½ a year old! We can’t believe you are already 6 months! Where did the time go? You are so special to us and we absolutely adore everything about you. You are so much fun and are so smart. You are our beautiful girl. This month we moved for the second time in your short life. We moved from Aunt Jodie and Uncle McKay’s house in American Fork to Salt Lake City. You went swimming for the first time. You love the water, but were not happy with the temperature. It was a little too cold for you. After you adjusted you did pretty good, but kept trying to drink the chlorine water. You have recently started playing with your hair as we feed you a bottle and you drift off to sleep. It is the cutest thing. You also have been crossing your feet at your ankles, which is so adorable. While on your tummy playing you stomp you right foot. You know when we are putting you down for a nap or bed and as soon as we walk in your room you start crying. When we lay you down you stomp both your feet up and down. You get so mad. Most of the time you will then turn your head into your blanket and close your eyes; although you are beginning to be a little stubborn and try to fight it. We have had to let you cry a little. You don’t usually cry too long before giving up and going to sleep. You have cried for up to an hour on several occasions. It is sad, but you are exhausted and if we try to comfort you think it is time to play. You still use your binkie and naptimes and bedtime. If it falls out you can pick it up, but have a hard time putting it in your mouth. Your cute little finger gets in the way! You often reach out and play with our face or with mommy’s hair when we are feeding you. You rub your eyes when you are tired. You like to play on your tummy. You try to put everything in your mouth. You like pears, banana and sweet potato. You do not like avocado. You like when we sing “The Wheels on the Bus” (Grandma Jeanne taught you that) and also love the “Itsy Bitsy Spider”. You do not get as excited when you look at yourself in the mirror anymore. You still smile and laugh, but usually get bored and are distracted by everything else around you. You usually fight getting put in your car seat so we try to distract you. You very rarely ever cry in the car anymore. You are wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes, although you still fit in and wear size 3. You are so petite with just a little bit of chub on your legs. You are so healthy. At your 6 month check up you weighed 14 lbs 4 oz and were 26 inches long. You have not once been sick. You love to coo and visit. You always have something to say. You are learning how to scream. You get frustrated when you can’t reach a toy you want. You roll from back to front and from front to back, but never roll over and over to move any distance. When you get excited you flap your arms up and down. With a little help and with someone close by you are starting to sit up for short periods of time. Your great grandma and papa recently moved to Utah from Flagstaff, Arizona and you love getting to know them. We have started doing baby signs with you. You have lots of admirers and are so very loved by everyone who knows you. We love you little bug!
Love,
Mom and Dad
