Serenity LOVES picking Maia up now.  And Maia loves it just as much.  Only a few unfortunate incidents of her laying her back down a bit fast...

Maia had consonants 5/26 dada da da bam. She smiles pretty big when she says dada and I pass her over to him, but I don’t think it counts as a word yet =)

Barrett came over to babysit, and his opinion of her chewing on toys is “that is highly unsanitary.” =)

My Maia is nearly six months old! I love my sweetheart baby girl. When she sees people she smiles and she just lights up. It melts my heart every time. When she is squirmy at bedtime or a little fussy, her whole body stills instantly when I start singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Her eyes just stare into mine and I can feel her little body relax and listen to me. It’s an amazing feeling to be able to comfort that tiny baby. She still snuggles happily in the Moby wrap everywhere we go. She still swings in the baby swing, although only at bedtime now because if she gets too enthusiastic in the swing during the day she can get her head sideways in a very uncomfortable position. So the swing’s days are numbered.

 

Love those toes!

She is sitting pretty well these days. I can actually put her in a sitting position without being right in front of her at least, if she topples it’s not usually that fast anymore. She loves sitting up and playing with the taggies ball, or her favorite rattle.

Solid foods are coming up this month. I have been thinking about taking a more laid-back approach than I did with the first two. I no longer feel like I’m going to poison my baby if I don’t buy the gerber boxed rice cereal, followed a week later by the oatmeal cereal, with a new fruit or veggie from a jar every three days. I think I might try just feeding her actual food… Hopefully it will get me back into cooking food for the rest of us as well. But of course we’re traveling soon so the jarred foods would be a lot easier 😉

She actually grabs the tags on her blanket and the little toy DZ made her.
