I can hardly believe my little girl has turned 6 months on the 8th. It just seems like time is going by way too fast and that she is growing and changing so much. I love seeing her grown and learn new things. This stage has been so fun and I am excited to see what is next. I just adore this girl and love her so much, she is so fun!

My Dear Sweet Bristol,
You are 6 months today. How does that happen so fast? I just can’t believe my little baby girl is growing up so fast. I am taking it to heart that you will be 18 before I know it because it is so true! I feel like I was just in the hospital holding you for the very first time, and yet you are now a half of a year old. I adore you so much and just can’t get enough of you. Here is what you have done this month:
•You weight 17.4 pounds and are 27inches tall. You are in the 90-95% for weight and 95-100% for height.
•On Saturday October 16th you sat up for the very first time. It was about 5 days after we had family pictures and we were trying to get you to sit up by yourself and you just couldn’t do it then. But, now you can and it is so fun to just let you sit up and play. You love it!
•You love your stuffed animals. It is so stinking cute when we had you one, especially your doggy, and you get so excited and coo and giggle and put him straight up to your mouth and nose.
•You are always feeling your teeth, now that you have 2, with your tongue. You will sit there and roll your tongue over your teeth.
•You are so good at rolling over now. When we put you to bed you love to roll over on your tummy and sleep that way. It is so nice because you sleep longer.
•You had your first teething episode on October 23rd. It was really hard on me because there was nothing I could do. I had daddy run to the store to get you teething tablets to make it feel better. You cried for about an hour and a half before we had those to give you, then you fell asleep. Poor baby!
•You no longer suck your thumb. I really cannot believe it. Your doctor said it would happen by 12 months and I didn’t believe her. But, she was right and you are over that stage.
•You love being in your crib. I think it’s because you have your own space and you can roll over and sprawl out. It is fun to see you do this!
•You love reading books. We have been reading to you everyday and you can’t get enough. You love to touch the books and turn the pages. It is fun to see you enjoy them.
•I bought you a crinkle book and it has become your favorite toy. You like to crinkle in up so that it makes noise, put it in your mouth, because that’s what you do with everything, and look at the animals.
•You love plastic bags. They would be your favorite toy if I let you play with them. This is why I bought the crinkle book.
•You are still my cuddly little girl and I eat up every moment I get with you.
Bristol, this first 6 months have been amazing. I love you so much and you are such a blessing in our lives. We are so blessed to have such a healthy baby. You have really brought a new perspective to this life and we are so grateful for that and for you. You have grown up so fast and you are changing so fast. You are such a beautiful little girl and you capture everyone’s attention.
We love you with all we have.
Love always and forever,
Mommy
