Happy 6 Months Taylor!

Well this coming Tuesday will be Taylor's 1/2 birthday.  Coincidentally it's also her Daddy's Birthday.  He is thrilled that they get to share this special day together.  =)

 

Happy 6 Months!

 

Mom!  Give me that camera!

New this month:

Rolling:  Taylor was slow to roll to her tummy from her back.  She doesn't like being on her belly all that much so she just wasn't interested and it took lots of taunting with toys to get her to do it.  Now just a week later she is Ms. Roley Poley.  I have been trying to get it on tape and she was just not interested in performing on demand.  But I persevered and got it finally today.  Caught her 1/2 way to her belly but it's all good.

Napping:  She is getting better at napping, thanks to Ms. Karyn at day care who has been diligently working on nap training.  She is getting better about taking 2-3 1/2 hour to hour naps a day.  She is still sleeping through the nights so the naps are an improvement.  She is also napping in her crib or pack n play instead of in peoples arms.  A definite plus!

Exploring:  Taylor is excited about everything around her in her world.  She has been getting better about reaching and grabbing things.  We had to buy her a toy cell phone so that she would have her own to play with instead of Mommy's.  The big positive about her reaching is that she will reach across her body for things which is really good at this stage.  =)  She has also 100% interested in the cats.  Tristan is a great sport and has learned that to get attention he needs to butter up to the baby!  She loves to pet him and we are working on petting and not grabbing.  It's hard but he has been a great and if she gets grabby he merely gets up and walks away.  She lights up when she pets him so I'll have to get pictures of that sometime soon!

 

Who should I call?

 

I'm liking Tummy Time More!

Flexibility:  Taylor has been working on her flexibility and loves to grab her feet.  This month she has perfected the art of putting her big toe in her mouth. 

 

Gives new meaning to "Tastes like Feet." 

Talking:  Taylor enjoys talking up a storm.  Nothing that resembles English, but like her Mommy she enjoys a good chat even when no one is listening.
