Six Months

It is crazy to think that six months ago I felt like I had been hit by a truck and had just delivered my sweet 3 lb 11 oz baby girl who was sleeping in the NICU being cared for by some amazing nurses. What a blessing and joy Miss Maylee has been in our lives!



She started to roll from back to stomach about 5 1/2 months. She even performed for our home nurse that checks her development. It was the first time we actually saw her do it without any problems!

Loves her thumb and her silkie.

She is getting better at entertaining herself on the floor with toys.

She is still adored by her brothers. Carter so lovingly refers to her as "Mingy" since he can't say her name. Andrew plays SO well with his baby sister and is so sweet and gentle with her. I love watching them together!

She is starting to figure out how to get her knees up and under her and can push herself more up onto her hands rather than just lifting her head.

She still has not really laughed....but has started making really cute squeaky and cooing noises.

She still does not like the car, but it is hit and miss if she screams the whole time.

She started rice cereal and LOVES it. She gets so excited after the first couple bites. She squirms and smiles and her whole body is just filled with excitement about the whole situation.

She still screams....and screams...and screams....leaving me at a loss of how to make her happy. This mostly happens at night when it is time for her to go to bed. I just hold her and let her scream until she crashes. Poor baby.

No teeth yet, but she is showing signs of teething with lots of chewing on things, drooling, and biting her bottom lip (which is adorable!).

This is the little face I had up with me far too early one morning while I was working....good thing she was happy! Cute little bug!

I am not sure on her stats. Her doc is out of town until the beginning of November. According to our guessing she is around 23 inches and under 12 lbs. She still wears most of her 0-3 month clothes, except for jammies where she fits more comfortable in the 3-6 month size.
