6 months

The little Miss is 6 months old today.  Time has flown by these last few month and that baby is such a happy addition to our family.  She is almost never sad and all you have to do it look at her and smile to get a huge open mouthed smile back.

She adores her sisters.  She gets excited when she sees them and strains to look at them and smile at them.  Kenna loves her so much it borders on smothering.  She will always sit with Vivi and talk to her, snap in her face and 'rawr' at her to get a reaction.  Sometimes I think she's torturing the poor baby but Vivi always smiles back.  Callie loves to sing to the baby and will sing her every song she knows.  She always talks to her in a sweet, calm voice and has a sweet smile for her.

Vivi is sitting like a champ.  She will sit and play with her toys on the floor for an hour without fussing at all.  Her favorite toy is sofie the giraffe.  It's a squeaky chew toy and sometimes if she drops it she gets frustrated and screams.  She really loves it.

She can get her toes into her mouth really well.  Sometimes she forgets her toes and hands are there and she finds them and stares at them for a really long time, watching them move.  It's really cute.

She is a little rolly polly baby.  She's almost too big for her infant carseat and is getting really heavy to carry around.  She weigh 18.9 lbs (90 percentile) and is 27.75 in (98 percentile).  She's definitely the biggest baby we've ever had and she is wearing clothes Kenna wore when she was walking.  Ironically, she's not a big fan of the baby oatmeal.  There has been one time that she really sucked it down, but that was it.  She mostly just tolerates it.  We're going to start trying actual food soon so we will see how that goes.

She still hates tummy time and is no closer to rolling than she was when she was 2 months old.  Maybe its because she's so rolly.  It takes a lot of muscle to move all that cute chunk around.

Lastly, she love to be held.  I still hold her to get her drowsy and she can be wide awake and talking in her crib but as soon as I pick her up she closes her eyes and goes to sleep.  She's my little snuggle bug.
