Finally, a monthly post that is current! Your sixth month was full of changes, both for you and for us. We adapted pretty well I'd have to say. You became nothing short of a pro at sitting up, doing it like you had been doing it your whole life. When I think about you being so tiny just a few short months ago it's kind of unreal, a good unreal though.
Daddy went on a golfing trip to Myrtle Beach with Grandpa, Uncle Chris, and Uncle Jeff over St. Patrick's Day weekend. You and I, along with Granny, sported our green here in Raleigh. Granny was such a blessing to your Mama when she came to stay with us while Daddy was gone. He missed his little girl, I could tell.
Another change for us all was de-swaddling you (yep, we probably made up that word). You loved being swaddled and I credit that fact, along with your love of sleep, for you sleeping so well early on. We knew it was going to be tough breaking you from it, but inevitably it had to happen. You started breaking out of your Daddy's master swaddles and we knew it wouldn't be long. On Mar. 24th we took the plunge and just did it. I think I was more nervous than anything. I mean it's hard to mess with something that had worked so well for so long! It took you a little while to figure out that it was bedtime because apparently being swaddled was a clue that it was sleepy time. You caught on and within a few nights you were going to sleep quicker and staying asleep more during the night.
March brought more wonderful weather and my hands down favorite season, Spring! There is nothing quite like budding trees, bees, warm weather, and beautiful blossoms. We enjoyed many walks with our friends Amber and Graham... I so enjoy that time.
One word, solids! We had been blessed beyond measure with nursing and up until the day you turned 6 months you had survived totally on mom's milk. Words can't describe what a blessing spending that time with you has been. It was time for you to enjoy something more and we started you out with rice cereal at dinner. You seemed to atleast be ok with it and we were so excited for you to experience something new.
You went back to the doctor for your 6th month appointment. 3 shots and many kisses later we were out of there and no more shots until your 1 year appointment. Gosh, now that you're half of it, I don't even want to think about you being 1 year old. We love you so much, Adelaide.
Your month in review:
I should have included this is your 5 month post but didn't take the picture until later. Your sweet Daddy came home on Valentine's Day with flowers for both of us. What a great Daddy, he loves you so much.
Looking sleepy.
The only time you have fallen asleep in the swing. I was making dinner and looked over and your sweet little eyes were so droopy and the next thing I knew you were out, still holding onto the toy. There is just something about watching your precious baby sleeping. Agree?
Our beloved Wolfpack made it to the Sweet Sixteen! There was a big gathering for them at the basketball center when they came back but we one-upped most fans and met them at the airport for the early bird celebration. Of course you were in your cheerleading outfit!
Your first stroller ride as a big girl, no longer in the carseat. You seemed to love it! It probably didn't hurt that Lily was walking along ahead of you.
I almost fell out! After taking dinner to some friends of ours that recently had a baby I looked in the mirror and you had stuck the crazy Wubanub in your mouth and fell asleep.... could not believe my eyes. I think this is the only time you've ever fallen asleep with it in your mouth.
Loving Daddy time!?! Or should we say, loving Adelaide time!?!
Cutie pie!

My sweet sitter.
Basket of fun!
You had no idea what was coming your way.
First spoonful!
Funny face!
There's a smile!
6 months.
You finally noticed the sticker on your onesie. This newfound fun made for some interesting picture taking!
Miss Adelaide with Miss Sock Monkey.
Love you sweet girl.
