Half a Year!!!


I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Our little Whitney turned 6 months old on the 19th of February. WOW! She is getting to be such a big girl. I was a little sad when she turned 6 months old because her 5th month had been my favorite (so far)! It seemed like during her 5th month she was so happy and giggly and content. I could sit with her anywhere and she didn't try to wiggle away or grab very many things. She loved to cuddle with me and Bart. She also got really good at eating her squash and green beans. It seems like the week she turned 6 months old, she turned into a sassy little girl who wants to explore the world. Whitney is reaching for things and wants to get moving. It's sad to see her get frustrated when the toys are just barely out of her reach. We keep cheering her on- she'll get there soon enough... for now, I'm enjoying her being less mobile. She still loves to laugh and we still love to hear it.


Whitney's current favorite things are:
Giggling
Her swing
Rides in the car
Her activity mat & toys
Her little puppy
Stroller rides
Baby Einstein
"Talking"
Being around other babies
Cuddles
Feeling Daddy's wiskers
Biting her mommy
Grabbing at our faces
Pulling out her binky
Rocking in our arms

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Little Miss Whitney!
We love you!




The next few were taken ON her 1/2 Birthday:

Grabbing those feet!









She loves to "stand" up on her feet!

What? No cake? I thought this was a 1/2 B-day?
Squash will have to do, once again.


The other day it was finally warm enough to go on a short walk. We still bundled up our baby. Although you can't tell from the picture- she loved it.

Yeah, I can't believe she's already over 1/2 year either. I'm sure you'll enjoy month 6 just as much as 5, plus it'll be gone before you know it too. What a cutie! Whitney, not you Bart. :)

Lorraine said...

What a cutie. She is adorable. And you look GREAT!

Becca said...

What a cutie! I love the pictures of her standing in Bart's hand.

She is so cute. I can't believe that she is already 6 months. Time sure does fly, especially when you have never even met.:(
I was looking at my baby pics the other day, and I was noticing that I could see some of her in me. I had those HUGE blue eyes and the same shape of face.
By the way....I love the pic of her eating the squash. Look at those pics makes me really excited to have one of my own.

Krista, she's darling! It's so fun to see what you and Bart have been up to, and to see the cute pictures of little Whitney. I know you loved her fifth month, but I promise, it just keeps getting better and better (hard to believe, huh?!).

She's adorable. Happy half-birthday! I love that she cuddles with a dog named Dion. So classic. I can't wait for she and Lucy to meet.
