6 months

Enna Bear,

This is hands down my absolute favorite baby age! I've said that 6 months is the best with each baby and you have proved it yet again...I love this stage!

You are finally sleeping longer than 30 minutes for a nap! Can I say amen, amen, and amen? I wondered if you would every get past this difficult napping stage, but a couple weeks ago it seemed to just click. You still take quick on the go naps at times, but at least once a day you sleep for 1.5 hours or more.

It's been fun getting to know you better as your personality starts to shine through. You are always smiling and making eye contact with everyone. You squeal when you see us in the morning and you giggle often.

You have 2 little teeth and are getting more. You drool all day long and if I didn't put a bib on you we'd change your outfit 4 times at least. You chew on your hands and toys all the time and are mildly more fussy, but overall you are doing well with teething (no ear infections yet, PTL!)

You are not a big eater and prefer rice cereal to anything else you have tried. You DO NOT like bananas! Every time we try them you make a horrible face and spit them out. I didn't know if was possible for a baby to refuse a banana before you. You also aren't a big fan of other foods unless I sneak them into your cereal. You do like to chew on pear slices, but anything mashed up usually gets spit back out. You like to drink water out of your sippy cup and even took some breastmilk out of it the other day! You mostly just eat once day, and nurse about 5-7 times still. You wake about once a night to eat, but last night you slept all the way through (11.5 hours). You love to sleep at night and have always done pretty well, even when you aren't feeling well. I am so thankful for that!

You don't sit up that well yet, but I think it is because you just want to lunge forward and grab everything. You love to scratch all surfaces, grab things, and love tags on toys. You play a lot in the exersaucer or on your tummy. You can roll over, but do not prefer to be on your back.

You are a thumb sucker for sure and it's been a great thing now that you can soothe yourself well with your thumb. I think this helps you sleep well in the car or when we are out and about.

Enna you are a blessing! Your sweetness makes our days so much happier and we love to see your big smile. You are very adored by your sibling and they can't seem to quit loving on you all day long!
