Six Months Old!

It's hard to believe that baby Celia is six months old! The first few months seemed to move at a snail's pace (while I was home with her), but since returning to work, the time has flown by! Here are some details about our sweet girl:

• Celia cried a lot and didn't sleep well from the time she was born until she was three months old. Since then, she has been the most pleasant baby who sleeps well (relative to other six month olds).
• It's easy to get a smile from Celia. She is a happy baby, and even smiles at strangers when they smile at her.
• She is a great eater! She is still nursing 5 - 6 times a day, and eats baby food two times a day. She especially loves prunes, mangos, and pears.
• She loves to be held and cuddled, and will lay her head on your shoulder and close her eyes when she's sleepy.
• Celia loves her big sister, and smiles whenever Greer shows her any attention (which is not that often). She enjoys watching people, in general.
• Celia is fascinated with baby toys, particularly toys (or anything else) with tags. Eventually, though, everything goes in her mouth.
• She is sitting-up pretty much by herself, although she does tend to lean forward some.
• She likes peek-a-boo, and other little games. She's even laughing now!
• Celia is a big girl! She's wearing all 9 month clothes now, and some are even snug already! She has the cutest little fat rolls on her legs and little sausage arms. I kiss them probably 50 times a day.
• She's very chatty - loves to squeal and make various sounds. She also prefers to stand-up with assistance rather than lay down or sit.
• Celia lost almost all of her hair, but it is growing back a pretty chestnut color, possibly with red undertones. Her eyes are dark blue.

Whew! That was a long update, but I hope you can tell what a wonderful baby she is and how much we love her!
