I'm shocked! I know parents always say this....but, I can not believe Kamryn is 6 months old! My goodness, I REALLY can not believe it! You bring them home from the hospital after they are born...pretty much just eating and sleeping. Then you wake up one day and they are rolling around and "talking" to you....half way to turning 1...oh, I can't think about that. It's going by way too fast!
I also know that all parents think everything their child does is nothing short of a miracle. Well, I am no different. :) Since, she is 6 months, and this is a pretty big milestone....I'll share with you guys some of the things my lil' punkin likes these days:
....Taking walks in her stroller.
...She always loves talking to random people in the store and flashing them big smiles.
...Talking! She has so much to say. (The other day in Wal-mart, while Kamryn is talking away[somewhat loudly-by the way] a lady came over to us in the aisle. She said she "followed the sound of the happy baby". She said she just had to meet that happy baby. So Kamryn, of course, flashes the lady a big smile. My daughter is precious.)
...She truly loves our two dogs Rebel and Koby. We take her outside to "play" with them all the time. She watches them like a hawk....and wants so badly to be put down in the grass to roll around and play with them. [or so SHE thinks...Rebel is a boxer and way too much dog for her. :) ]
...Kamryn spends most of her time in the floor on her blanket, just rolling around and playing with her toys. She loves doing this, but thinks Mama should play too...or at least be in the room. If I try to walk out of the room for one second...she let's me know very quickly that I need to come back. Oh boy...that may be trouble later. :)
...She loves to eat! :) At this point, she has had Green Beans, Squash and Carrots. She loves them all...her first encounter with squash was not a very positive one. She made (hilarious) faces and even refused to open her mouth. Next try was much better, and she now likes them. I hope she always enjoys those veggies! :/
...Bath-time is a good-time! When I say "She loves bath time." I mean it! She knows when it's coming too....we put her on her changing table to undress her....and she starts smiling and kicking her legs.
...loves books. We read all the time. Sometimes, she even reads to ME! :)
...going for rides in the car are always exciting adventures for Kamryn. She gets up on her elbows to look out the window. I think if she weren't strapped in, she would find a way to get out of that car seat.
...Kamryn loves to get right in your face while you talk to her. She will cup your face in her hands and listen to your story.
...this baby loves getting kisses from Mama and Daddy...but not nearly as much as we love to give them!
...by now, she has discovered squealing, and does it all day.
...she loves to laugh. If you're not laughing, she'll look at you and laugh....it's very contagious and soon you'll be laughing too. Also, if no one in the room is giving her attention and she wants it- she'll either talk loudly or squeal to get your attention...then she'll flash a huge gummy smile at you.
...speaking of "gummy smile"... I'm afraid that will soon be gone. :( I noticed today, that it looks like a tooth is about to come in. You can't feel it yet, but I see it. Oh, well...it is bound to happen sooner or later, but it's more proof that she won't be a baby forever. :(
I'll stop with that. I can go on for days. I could have never even imagined the love that I have for Kamryn. She is an amazing baby. She has such a sweet, funny personality....she makes ME laugh all day! I am so thankful that I am able to stay at home to raise her...because I don't want to miss a second of her. She discovers something new all the time and is constantly changing....I get to watch her discover the world-thanks to my wonderful husband. The past 6 months have just flown by! I guess the next 6 will go by just as fast.....time to start planning the 1st birthday party, I suppose. :)
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU, DADDY!
