Well, it's hard to believe you are already 6 months old, but there's the truth of it!
It's funny, Mommy was reading in one of her 'what to expect' books and in the chapter about the seventh month one of the things it addresses is ' how do I know if my child is gifted?' Oye! At seven months? People are so ridiculous, well, if you have a gift that I should be able to recognize aat this point it is either related to your fantastic growing or your gastrointestinal feats! For the record, at your checkup you were 26 3/4" tall (90th %) and 17 lbs. 7 oz. (75th%) Crazy! Even crazier was the doc following that up with, "Yes, she's tall and thin like you" I am not sure where it is that Mommy is considered tall, but be on notice, when I find out, we are moving.
In all other ways you are coming along beautifully. You now roll 360 degrees, back to front and around again. Plus you get up on your hands and knees in 'pre-crawling' form. You don't crawl, but rather kind of slither backwards. At Aunt Anne's house today you lodged yourself
under the couch. Truly it brings back memories of Uncle Tim. You are also getting pretty adept at sitting up, although we have to be careful, because when you tip over it is always head first.
In other news you have discovered your toes! They are incredibly scrumptious and whenever you have no pants on you attack them like we don't feed you anything. This has definitely made Mommy more diligent about banishing sock lint, as that otherwise tends to be like the skin on salmon; not really what you set out to consume, but you usually end up eating some anyway. Every once in a while instead of putting you in the little bathtub mommy or daddy thow on a swimsuit and takes you into the open range of the big tub (we feel like it will prepare you for swimming in a pool, but really mostly it will only prepare you for sitting in a hot tub which you can't do for about 13 years anyway). We had the camera by the changing table for a week trying to catch an 'eating the toes' moment, but you must have known what we were up to, and you

Eating is a full contact thing with you these days...would not perform. Finally in the bathtub you let your guard down.
I also gave you your first kitchen assignment the other day. Grandma and Grandad and Uncle Tim joined us for hamloaf dinner and you were the one who beat the saltine crackers into a pulp! Good job! I just gave you the slightly smashed unopened sleeve of cracers and you beat them within an inch of their lives.
Oh, and I should explain the stickers a bit I suppose. Originally they came from UPS to DC Theatricks where Mommy worked and no one wanted them so Mommy brought them home where they waited for the perfect time before making themselves known again. Now your highchair goes everywhere. From Dining room, through kitchen to back rooms and bathroom, thank God we got one with wheels! So when we found the stickers last night Mommy tricked out your ride while Daddy fed you dinner😊
Love you!
ps. you are my sleep idol! The last two nights you went down around 9 and slept through the night to about 9:30 the next morning! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Oh my Goodness
She is getting so big. I feel like when we finally get to Buffalo this summer she'll be walking, talking and using a cell phone. I hate being so far away. Well, hopefully we'll see each other soon. Thanks for the update!!!
