Happy Half Birthday to Anna!
All about Anna now:
1. She continues to be SUCH a sweet and easy baby. She loves to smile, and she does it with her whole body. When she smiles, she throws her arms out and moves her body toward the person that is making her so happy.
2. She is 100% in love with Aidan. He can make her smile at almost any time. In fact, when Anna is extra upset, I will ask Aidan to come over and make her smile. He loves to point out when she "smiles first" at him.
3. Anna smiles big at Austin as well, but there is a certain tentativeness that comes along with him... perhaps because he has shoved her over and made her hit her head, roars in her face when he's trying to scare her, puts blankets over her head because she "likes it", etc. Since Aidan has started school, I have noticed a much better (and sweeter!) relationship developing between Austin and his sister.
4. Anna hates, hates, hates baby food and baby cereal. She absolutely will NOT eat any fruit at all. She clamps her mouth closed so tightly that it is impossible to feed her. If we catch her in the right mood, we can sometimes get about three or four bites of peas, green beans and sometimes carrots into her. Cereal is an even rarer success.
5. Anna is STILL not sleeping through the night. I obviously breed poor sleepers, and I have just accepted that my children do not sleep through the night until they are one.
6. Anna rolls over all the time now. Diaper changes have become that fun "hold her down and change the baby as fast as possible" race.
7. She has recently started getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. She has learned that if she does that and then throws herself forward, she ends up closer to what it is that she wants. I don't think crawling will be too far down the road.
8. She can sit up unassisted for about ten seconds - if I get her situated and balanced well first.
Her well baby visit is tomorrow, so I will add her six month stats to that then.
