Happy 1/2 Birthday, Jaelyn!


Wow...I can't believe it's been 6 months already! Where has all the time gone? It seems like it was just yesterday we were bringing Jaelyn home from the hospital! In 6 short months, Jaelyn has become quite a little person! It seems within the last couple days she has really become a jabber mouth~and I thought she was a big talker before! She is definitely practicing her vocal cords and seeing what they can do. You can really tell what emotions she is feeling by the way she sounds...happy, frustrated, mad, tired, etc. She is still a thumb sucker & always has it close by if needed; loves to play in her jumper or stand on her activity gym (with mom or dad's help); rolls over from back to belly, but doesn't like being on her belly for any length of time; favorite toys: crazy looking giraffe, monkey, links, and rattle; still sleeping ~10-11 hrs each night (going to bed between 7:30-8pm) and taking 3 naps during the day; trying to figure out the whole rice cereal thing, but loves sitting in the high chair; continuously drools; is a stinker when it comes to trying to watch TV; is such a social bug-she can't nurse if someone else is in the room making any sort of noise...she has to know what's going on; still covers her eyes with one arm while she nurses; loves the bumbo seat; gives full belly laughs when daddy makes a certain noise; smudges and/or takes daddy's glasses off; still sleeping on her back in her zip-up sack with a fan blowing for white noise.

Jaelyn's stats at 6 months:
Weight: 15 lbs 11 3/4 oz
Length: 27 inches
Head circumference: 17 inches

Whew...a lot has changed since we brought our little bundle of joy home 6 months ago! What a precious gift from God! We LOVE you, Jaelyn!
