My Child of Chaos

Luna,

Its hard to believe you are already 6 months old.  Then again, it feels more like 6 years most of the time.  You are always testing our limits, but right when we feel like breaking, YOU MIRACULOUSLY BECOME A NEW KID.

Seriously-you have days that are filled with nothing but crying-nothing but crying.  And right when your Dada and I are about to go insane, you become the perfect little child (laughing, playing, sleeping).

YOU ARE CRAZY, KID!!!!! CRAZY, I TELL YA!!!!


BUT WE LOVE YOU NONETHELESS!!!!

You have filled our home with complete and udder chaos.  For this, we are thankful.  You make us stronger, better, more patient parents.  You give us an extra reason to live for tomorrow (cause we are always praying tomorrow will be better).  You fill your brothers world with more love than we ever thought possible and you are continuously teaching him to be a more compassionate person.  He is learning leaps and bounds from you!

You are very lazy.  You do not like to sit, although you can do it (probably not as well as you should be able to at this point though).  You prefer to roll around all over the floor.  You are flipping back to front and front to back perfectly.


You MUST be entertained at ALL times.  Rather its having someone in your face or a toy in hand, you have to have something.  You don't like to be in your car seat anymore either.  Not unless you are sleeping or the car is moving, that is.  But when out and about, you want in on the action-ALWAYS.

You have started eating food.  You've had sweet potatoes, avocados, mashed potatoes, black eye peas, bananas, rice, cantaloupe, and even banana pudding (compliments of Dada).  Mashed potatoes are by far your favorite!  You have taken to the spoon very well, but prefer to hold it/feed yourself.  Dada and I are amazed because you take hold of the spoon and directly head for your mouth (of course EVERYTHING goes directly to your mouth these days though).

 

You are still in size 3 diapers, and clothing depends on the brand.  You mostly wear 9-12 months, but some bigger and a few smaller pieces as well.  You like having your teezo changed, holding your legs up to help but you HATE getting dressed.  I mean, hate it.

You enjoy watching t.v., and Finding Nemo is still one of your favorites.

You are good about grabbing toys, even using your feet to aide you.  You can hold with both hands, not favoring one over the other.

Your eyes are still a greyish/blueish color with small hints of brown.  I'm wondering if they're ever going to change.  I love them just the way they are!


You still LOVE bath time and play time in Brother's room.  You could lay on his floor watching him for hours, completely and totally content with life.  Its probably my most favorite time of the day.  You also love when Brother rescues you in the mornings.  As soon as he walks into your room, you light up, smiling from ear to ear, "jumping."  Its the cutest thing ever.  The bond you two already have completely melts my heart.


You get giddy whenever Dada walks into the room.  You get this huge smile, then hold your hands to your mouth and tuck your head towards your body (like you're being shy).  Its such a cute thing to witness.


Your six month appointment was on 3.19.14 with our new pediatrician.  You are growing at just the perfect rate.  You weigh in over 18 pounds (75%) and are 26" (50%).  She said you look amazing.  I did ask her about your fussiness (to put it lightly) and she truly thinks its just your personality.  GREAT.  Looks like you are paving a LOOOOONG road for your father and I.  


You do appear to have 2 teeth coming in so we are soaking up all the toothless smiles we can get right now.  Its such a beautiful sight.  One we wish we'd get to see more often.  Oh well.  Fussy personality or not-we love you soo very much.  You complete our family and add soo much to our home.  We are soo very proud of you, our Sweet Luna.  We love you to the Luna and back.
