Six months

Leah is now six months old. It really seems like I was just holding her for the first time. I am cherishing every moment I have with her. What a blessing God has bestowed to me. I could not have imagined how great motherhood could be.
Leah is still in the 10th percentile. She weighs 12lbs 13 oz and is 24 and 1/4 inches long. She is rolling all over the place and working hard to sit up. She can sit up by herself but doesn't always stay up. She is quite vocal and has learned to scream when we aren't giving her what she wants quickly enough. She has started baby food and prefers squash to sweet potatoes. Her oatmeal seems to be her favorite. She can't take a bite without saying, "um, um, um." She still sleeps through the night, but I usually have to go in once during the night to reposition her. I don't know how she manages to roll onto her tummy or get herself wedged in the corner when she is swaddled. If I don't swaddle her she starts rolling during the night and wakes herself up completely. We have enjoyed a few days of warm weather so that her Gran and Grump (my parents) could take her for strolls around our neighborhood during their weekly visits. She likes to swing at the playground and then usually falls asleep in the stroller. We are all having so much fun with her. She is pure joy to us. She makes my heart melt every time she smiles that big open mouth smile.
We go see Lori for our 6 month photos this coming week. I hope we get some good shots. Until then, here are some of my favorite photos from this past month.

Chillin' with Addie Grace.
Thank you, Ms. Bebe for my hat.

One of my favorite outfits.

Leah just heard about the Easter bunny.

Sweet potatoes rock!

I'm six month old today.

Can someone please rock me to sleep?
