Maisie-face at Six Months!

I am in absolute shock that my little newborn baby is six months old today! She completes our family and is more adorable than I could have ever dreamed!



She absolutely adores her big sister, who returns the love with lots of smothers! Kaiah says that Maisie is her "best friend." Kaiah prides herself on the fact that she can make Maisie happy when no one else can and loves to make her giggle in the car. Maisie spends most of her time watching her big sis!



She can sit completely on her own and is a pro in the high chair! She still has super crazy hair :)


She loves the front carrier and her sun hat! This picture pretty much sums up our whole summer!


We just started giving her solid food last week, and she is obsessed with it! She gets so excited to eat and, so far, has loved everything we have given her! Tonight it was homemade banana and avocado!





She has the most amazing eyes of all time and her daddy's eyelashes!




Again - crazy hair!


No matter how hard we fought it - she is a true thumb sucker!


She is the absolute joy of our lives. Maisie is happiest when she sees Kaiah. She smiles constantly - like seriously constantly. She is the happiest baby I have ever seen, but also a bit of a prissy queen! When she gets mad, she sure does demand attention! Most often, though, she is laughing and smiling and trying to grab everything in sight!


 A few other notes about Maisie:
  • She is a little girl - in the 25th percentile for weight (14 lbs), 40th for height (25.5 inches).
  • She sleeps most of the night - only waking up around 4 am for food.
  • If put on her back, she will always roll to her tummy and can scoot around in a circle from there.
  • She sits on her own.
  • She loves bath time and swimming.
  • She almost never cries - but she can scream! Her scream went from sounding like a cat to a squealing bird recently.
  • She is only semi-ticklish. 
  • She babbles a lot and loves to talk to Kaiah.
  • She has the most beautiful sparkling eyes ever!

Love you, Maisie-face!
