Happy Half Birthday! {Six Months Old}

Holy cannolies, how time flies. My sweet little nugget is getting so big! Here is a run down of the things that she has accomplished in her short time as a Wodnick:

• Smiling - pretty much the cutest smiles in the whole history of smiles. She takes after her daddy on that front :)
• Giggles - She doesn't have that "belly laugh" that you hear a lot of babies doing. She does more of the "heehees" threw her cheeks if that makes any sense. Like the sound you tend to make when you tickle little babes...she's copied that and that is how you know that she loves what ever is going on at the time.
• Food - She is a major foodie. I know that I posted about this before, but I think it's gotten worse. She sees that you are eating and she so intently stares at you until you cave and give her a nibble of what you are eating.
• Rolling Over - She doesn't last long on her belly anymore. She is an old pro at that one.
• Sitting Up - She LOVES to sit up! I think she feels like such a big girl when she gets to sit on her own. Just wait until she gets the hang of standing then walking...she is going to be crazy then!
• Peek-a-Boo! - Talk about mood changer! If she is starting to get cranky, usually a good game of peek helps her get out of her funk. She just LIGHTS UP when you pop up and say "PEEK!" Sometimes I play behind Dan and then she looks for me. That is pretty darn cute :)

There is more, but I need to save some room for new pictures! Who doesn't love pictures of babies...especially this baby! I know I do!



"Hi momma!"




"Peek! I see you!"





All smiles for her photo shoot



Always tucking in that bottom lip :)





These are a few of my favorite things...

I can't believe that in a few short weeks, my little nugget is going to be 6 months old! It's funny how everyone always tells you that time flies and that you should enjoy every second of your baby. But you never really believe it until it's your turn. When Quinn was first born, I thought that the whole, getting up every two hours was going to last F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!! Stupidly, I wished for that to hurry up so I could get a little more sleep and not look like a zombie run over by a semi truck all the time. Now, I would give a lot to slow down time!

But, since that will never happen, I thought I would list a few of my favorite things and moments about and with my little Quinny Bear (I did edit myself. If I listed everything, then this post would go on for ages. Yes, she is that awesome that my list would be that long)...here we go!

• When she is ready to eat, she does this little laughing cry. Where if you weren't looking at her and seeing her grab at my chest or a bottle, you could almost swear that she is laughing! So not the case. You let this go too long and you will get a full blown freak out. And trust me, those are not that much fun.
• If you do manage to get her full blown freak out, sometimes it's hard not to laugh because the face she makes is hilarious. One of these times, I'm going to get a picture of that and you will see what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I hate to hear her cry and see her upset, but that face! Too darn cute.
• The need for her to get those little toes into her mouth! She is forever stuffing those little tooties into her mouth and sucking on her toes. Who knew that they were that tasty?
• She is so infatuated with anything that we are eating or drinking. If we are drinking anything, she always puts her hand on the glass as if she is helping us drink. And then she waits expectantly like it's her turn. We've gotten a few good chuckles when that cup happens to be a beer mug.
• Tummy time is a thing of the past. You put her on her belly and in 2.5 seconds, she is on her back. No more of that for this little babe! She is going to be a stubborn one like her parents.
• This one is a give away - but when Dan or I come home, she just goes crazy when she sees us! She about jumps out of what ever she is in because she is so excited! Now that is a perfect ending to a long day at work!

Ok, there are plenty more, and I seriously could go on forever! But I won't bore you to death with all of them. I'm sure that I will post another one like this here soon...don't you worry!
