Oh baby, how we love you- your mama, your dada, and your big sister. And thankfully you seem to still be fond of us. You are half a year old now and just as sweet as can be.
-You love your big sister. Even when she seems to be squishing you or hitting you, you smile with glee when she is in your face.
-You are a roly-poly. You roll all over to get where you want to be. You have started scootching, but so far, that only takes you backwards.
-You love any and all food. We started you on solids around 5 months and after a couple of weeks, we had to quit because you were having tummy aches. You were not happy about this (the tummy aches or the quitting). We started over today (back to boring rice cereal) and are hopeful that things will go more smoothly this time. You are still allergic to dairy. Your sister grew out of this around one year, so we hope you will too.
-You have the biggest smile and it takes very little to bring it out. People are impressed and entertained with how easy it is to get you to grin. It may be because your big sister hogs all of the attention at home and you're relieved to finally get someone to notice you...
-You are a mama's-girl. When I'm in the room, you insist upon being with me. It's very sweet until your sister becomes needy or it's time to make dinner. You spend lots of evenings in the ergo/sling so that we all stay sane...I mean happy. When you can't see me, you love to play with your sister's toys. The barn that plays sounds is a current favorite.
-You are a snuggler. When we sing "Twinkle Twinkle" at night, you settle right in on my shoulder and I could melt. When you have trouble putting yourself to sleep, I go in and pick you up and immediately you nuzzle your nose into my shoulder and fall asleep. It's unfortunate you won't transfer and as soon as I put you down, you get upset again. Thankfully, you are generally very good about putting yourself to sleep.
Cailin Hope we love you so very much. You are the best baby sister we could've asked for!

| She sucks her bottom lip when she's tired. Even when her lips aren't smiling, her eyes are. |
