Meadows Family: 6 Months on Thursday!

I cannot believe that my sweet baby will be 6 months old on Thursday, March 5th! It is amazing how fast time has gone by with her and all the joys that she has brought into our lives! I can't imagine our lives without her! Yesterday I was packing up some of her clothes that she can no longer wear (getting ready for the big move!) and it was so sad to look at how small the clothes were and how big she is now! It was funny this morning when I was getting her dressed to go to Gran's, I put her in a onesie that I had ordered from Old Navy in size 6-12 moths and she was able to wear some capris that were size 0-3 months!! How does that work?! She really is growing up so fast and she is changing so much from day to day! She started this thing yesterday when she was eating where she would slap her right hand down like "Aw mom!" It was so cute and I was happy that she continued to do it when Thad got home from work so he could see it! I don't know where she got it or what it means, but she is just becoming quite the little hoot! The best times are when you will do something ( I sneezed the other night for instance) and she will just start cracking up; her laugh is so contagious and such a sweet sound that resonates throughout the house! She is really starting to eye Webster, our cat, and you can just tell that she is ready to go and get him!! She is still just getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth so we are just encouraging her by putting things out of her reach for her to maybe try and crawl to get them! Most of the time she will just scoot but is usually successful in getting something she wants! She has also learned the words "No ma'am" and gets them said to her regularly when she is getting fed because she tries to scoot out of her seat! When dad says them to her, she just looks at him like, "No, coming out of your mouth, yeah right!" She also tried to drink out of a sippy cup this weekend and wasn't too successful except in wearing most of her juice, but we are trying to introduce it. But here are some new pictures! Hope you enjoy and I will try to post again on Thursday for her 6 month birthday! Have a great week!

2/25/09...Since the weather has been awesome, we had to wear one of the cute springy outfits she has had since she was BORN! This was her first and probably last time to wear it! We loved the hat!

2/25/09...Getting scrubbed in the tub! She is trying to sit up a lot now and loves sitting up in her tub because she knows there is support behind her! She looks more confused that we were taking her picture while she was in the tub!

2/28/09...Trying out the sippy cup! She didn't mind it but as you can see, it is quite large and she wound up being stripped down because most of the juice was on her onesie!

2/28/09...This is her favorite thing! She will sometimes be on the floor and just start staring at it like saying "Hey, I want in there instead of down here!" It is farm animals as you can see and she loves all the noises that the animals make! She is also very good at turning those book pages in her hand!
