Taylor is a total Daddy's girl. She spends a lot of one-on-one time with Alan which is great for them both at this time in her life. Her face lights up when she sees him and she finds his voice in a room full of people. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband and I had no doubt that he'd be an amazing father as well. I don't have the words to explain how lucky Taylor is to have such an involved, dedicated, and loving father!
We had her 6 month check up this week and she's up to 16lbs 11oz. She's in the 55th percentile and the doctor informed us that she would be a few inches taller than me. Now I never would have guessed that! kidding Right now we are working on sitting up on her own, but we're not quite there yet. She can do it for a few seconds but eventually topples over! She is a roly poly little thing and is constantly flipping onto her stomach and sticking her little head up like a turtle! She is sleeping pretty good at night and only waking up about twice to eat. Her teachers at daycare say that she is the best baby in the class because she doesn't require a lot of attention to stay happy (which is not the case at home!). She seems to enjoy going to daycare every day and they seem to really enjoy her as well.
The pictures below are some that really capture her personality. She ate her first food other than milk and rice cereal for the first time last week and LOVES it! So far she has had squash and carrots and now that she has the hang of the spoon we can't get it in her fast enough. Mmm, laundry is always on the chore list these days....
Happy 6 months, Taylor!
