Adalyn- 6 Months

Here is what you have been up to this past month:

- You are SOOOO smiley! It is very easy to make you smile and laugh.
- Every time you smile you show your tongue. It is quite comical.
- You have really been intrigued with Dingo this month. You aren't too sure what to think of him. If he sneezes, barks, or moves too quickly, you will cry. It is obvious that you are scared of him at that moment and want some comfort.
- You seem to be more sensitive and gravitate to mommy in new surroundings. It seems you might be more of a "mama's girl." At this age Ella was more of a "daddy's girl."
- You love toys and are trying to get to your sister's toys. Sometimes she lets you play with them and other times she does NOT want you touching her stuff. Oh boy!
- At the end of the month you starting cutting your first tooth. We can see part of it peeking through. This has caused you some pain. We weren't expecting your first tooth so soon since your sister didn't get her first tooth until 8 months old.
- You began eating solids this month. We started with fruits and then moved to the veggies. You like pretty much all of it except the green veggies.
- You sometimes sleep through the night, but the following things have interrupted it this month: moving into an awkward position (like getting a limb stuck in the railings or your head hitting the railing), cough/cold, teething.
- You are still doing very good at daycare and the teachers are always raving about your happy personality and your "crazy tongue smile."
- You take three naps per day and take about 5 bottles a day.
