Milestones: Isla is 6 Months Old!!!

6 Months old and happier than ever!

How are you already 6 months old?! This year is flying by and it is killing me! Don't get me wrong, I love watching you go through each precious milestone and watching you grow, but each night as I rock you to sleep, I notice that you are a little big bigger than you were the night before... and that part is hard. Now you are long enough to kick the side of the rocking chair as I nurse you to sleep. Now you are rolling both ways and working on crawling!! It is adorable because you haven't figured out how to lift your head up while you crawl yet so you basically drag your head along the floor as you scoot yourself around :). You are so incredibly intelligent and are trying so hard to talk! You say "Mama or Mum" depending on what mood you are in ;) and I absolutely love hearing those words out of your little mouth whenever you want me! You also say Bath or "Baaa" which I have discovered means Bath hehe! You LOVE bath time and I love sitting on the side of the tub watching you kick your legs happily as you splash water all over the place :). You are perfectly content to sit and watch everyone throughout the day, but now that you can roll over you are moving all over the place while you observe ;).
 

Bath time is your happy time!

Now that you are 6 months old, you got to have your first experience with solid baby food! You actually really enjoyed it and the kids had so much fun helping me feed you! Evie has been dying for this day since you were born haha! She is constantly asking me if you are old enough for her to feed you so this was a very special day for her!

You loved your first baby food experience!!

You are constantly being snuggled and mauled with kisses!

I can't get enough of that goofy grin!

You also love to read books :). It is so obvious how smart you are!

One of my absolute favorite moments this summer!

I'm always trying to get stuff done with you on my hip :).

Another beautiful Isla smile :) :) :)

You also love going for walks!

And then you fall asleep because Mom's walks last a long time ;).

You are also a big fan of your Daddy and love snuggling up on his chest :).

Isla, you bring us so much joy. Whenever you are sleeping and not in my arms, I suddenly get sad and get the urge to wake you up so you can be in my arms again! Your special spirit is exactly what we all need and you make us ALL so happy. Thank you for choosing our family to come down to because I don't know what we ever did without you :).
