Selah Elizabeth is 6 months old! This past month has been a big one for her! Our little girl is sweet, but having a rough time right now. She is getting teeth and everything is a mess in her little world. Earlier this month she broke through her bottom left front tooth, and just today I saw that the tooth right next to it is trying to break through as well. This explain so much of her needy, clingy, and no sleep behavior. She is sitting up better each day, and is becoming more mobile on her tummy. She is not on all fours, but I am seeing small signs of her maybe getting there soon. She is eating rice cereal. Okay, if I'm honest she eats cereal about every other day at dinner. She just does not love solids. She has eaten bananas, which she loves. She has eaten sweet potatoes, not a huge fan. She has eaten avocado, hates it! And last week we gave her fresh pureed pumpkin, not a huge fan either! We are going slow and are going to keep at it. Her doctor said to just do what we are doing, and she will eventually get it. They just want a 9 month old to be on an all liquid diet! =) So, that what we will so....slow and steady. She is nursing about 4 sometimes 5 times a day, for about 5 minutes on each side. Like I said earlier sleeping is hard these days. Everything from naps to bedtime. Each day looks different and some days are harder than others. But, so is life with a 6 month old who is teething.
She continues to have the biggest smiles for Owen. I am slowly seeing them "play" together more and more. He is doing so much better with her, in the sense of him not doing many random mean things to her! They have a sweet little bond and I pray pray pray it grows as they. She is a joy and we are so blessed to have "Sister" in our family. I feel especially blessed to call her my daughter. She is LOVED!
