6 Months

Lots of things have happened lately...

Swimming, Camping, 6 months shots, 6 month check up, crawling, pulling herself up on things and STANDING!

I can't believe it.



August Long weekend swimming away... she loves splashing in the water!


Big floppy hat... gotta love a big floppy hat




Camping in Kalispell with Grandma and Grandpa = baths in the trailers sink.. :)



Peek a boo baby!





Daddy comes home on days off and we LOVE that!



Hair long enough to put bows in it now! Lots of new options now...



Standing against the laundry basket



Every morning when I go get her she is standing up in her crib waiting for me.. :)



My little family...




My gorgeous little girl.



Zayah has been army crawling and scooting and crawling up on her feet instead of her knees. She started officially crawling on her knees at the beginning of this month. I didn't write down the exact day because she had been crawling and moving for so long, so I am not really sure how to document that.

On August 13, 2011 Chase and I were just hanging out in the living room... Chase was sitting on the couch with the recliner rest out and I was on the other couch across the room. Out of nowhere Zayah just grabbed the end of Chase's foot rest and pulled herself to a stand right in front of us. It looked like it was so easy to her and Chase and I were shocked. I'm glad he was home for it though.

Zayah's 6 month shots went soooooo well!! Only 1 needle at 6 months and she has done really well with the 1st needle all the other times so I was hoping it would be ok.. And it was! One little whine, stuck a toy in front of her and whining over. :) phew. Her shots were on August 16 and this was the first time I went to shots without Chase so I'm glad it went well.

She also had her 6 month check up with our Doctor that week and he is still in awe of how strong she is. She will walk with you if you are holding her hands. She is crawling and moving everywhere. She is on her belly then her back then her knees then her butt all in a matter of seconds. He kept looking at her and telling me that she will be walking by 9 months for sure. Zayah weighed in at 19 pounds and is 27 inches long. We love every pound and inch of her.

She is babbling a lot as well. Da da da da ... Ma ma ma ma.... Ba ba ba ba..

She will repeat it back to you when you say it to her. She shakes her head no no no no no...

I also found out this week that Zayah LOVES music! When she is playing in the living room I have the tv on and anytime the theme song of a show comes on, or a commercial with a jingle comes on,or anything like that she whips her head around to look at the tv and stares until the song is over. I think I'm gonna love that about her! :)


I think that is all for now.
