Six for Six

It's hard to believe that it has already been six months for number six! Mia is a huge hit in our household, and each new move she makes is watched with seven pairs of wondering eyes. She has gone from sleeping around the clock to limiting herself to a morning and afternoon nap followed by a twelve hour night time stint in her own crib. She now rolls over, but only when she is extremely motivated, she props herself up on her elbows to watch the busy life around her, and eats Gerber jar after Gerber jar of green beans, squash and pears.
She has found her thumb, is interested in each intricate detail of her brightly colored baby toys, is attached to the fuzzy blanket that Grandma Ebert sent and braves the cold under the hand crocheted hat and blanket that Grandpa David brought.

When she is not being passed from sister to brother to brother to sister and back again, she spends her time perched in her high chair with a cracker in hand, making mental notes of exactly how best to navigate our busy world.
How lucky we are for baby Mia. She makes our life complete!
