Genevieve is Six Months!

Our sweet sweet Genevieve is six months old today! Amazing that she is halfway to one year old already! She continues to be our sweet, mellow, smiley baby. Here are some milestones:

- 16.5 lbs (nearly 2 lbs less than Cade and Gabrielle at this age and almost 3 less than Willem).
- She can sit up but not for very long.
- She loves to jump in her jumper (see pics below).
- She is sleeping from about 9:30 pm until 5:00 in her crib then I feed her and she sleeps till 8:00ish with us. We will sometimes put her nukie back in her mouth once in the night if she wakes before 5:00 am.
- Genevieve will take a good 1.5+ hour nap around 10:00 am and then another 1.5+ hr at 2:00 pm in her crib if we are home then she'll take another shorter nap or two in the car or on a walk later in the day.
-Nev is getting good at falling asleep in her crib on her own though we sometimes go to her after a few minutes and put her nuk in one more time to settle her.
- We haven't tried solid food yet, she still just nurses.
- Nev can turn over both ways very easily now. She can get up on all fours and scoot a little; she goes in all directions turning and scooting forward and backward but doesn't make much progress and doesn't seem to have figured out how to consistently move forward or backward.
- Genevieve loves to say babababa or dadadada or lalalala or mamama or just aaaahh.
- Nev continues to love to talk to people and loves to give us smiles.
- She also is pretty ticklish!
- Genevieve still has no teeth but seems to have been teething for a while!
- Lately she's been loving to grab things with her hands and her dexterity has improved a bunch.
- She really seems to recognize and love her siblings!

We sure do love our sweet Genevieve!!

Enjoy some (ok, a lot of!) pictures of our six month old from today in the beautiful weather outside...

We went for a walk tonight and Genevieve wore my hat. She looked pretty cute....

Not sure what this face is but it is too cute!

She loves her jumper!

So fun Leticia! I LOVE the outside pictures. Ms. Nev is really beautiful. You're going to love this blog so much... after reading your post I went back and looked at Jacoby at six months too. He was nearly 19 lbs, still nursing 2x per night and had just learned how to "give me five!" Too fun!!

Genevieve looks exactly like Chad in the first picture! I can't believe that Finn will be this big in just 6 months -- time goes so fast!

I still think she's not real but a doll sometimes.
