6 Months

 Last Saturday, Margot turned 6 months old. Here's our latest photo shoot with the sugar plum.

 Tennessee was sitting on the window sill and she couldn't take her eyes off him (which explains why she's not looking at the camera). She's Tenny's biggest fan these days, though I'm not sure if the feeling's mutual...

 I thought I'd see what she thought of her boots. She seemed to think I'd attached lead weights to her feet, so we took them off.

Back to my plain old twinkle toes...so happy!

 

At 6 months, Margot is starting starting to show preferences for how she eats, who holds her, and she is NOT HAPPY when mom and dad don't get her down for her nap or to her bath and bed on time. She's a busy little lady, and she likes things done on her schedule, thankyouverymuch! 

Sounds sort of familiar...hmm...

She's making more sounds, (mum mum mum is her fave) though there doesn't seem to be much intention behind it.

She's got new moves: the backwards army crawl is her specialty!

She's sitting up and can hold herself up, most of the time.

She's eating solids;bananas have been a success. Next up: sweet potatoes. The Baby Bullet is our newest kitchen gadget.

We can finally use sun block on her delicate skin, praise Jesus. Here mama was worried.

She's got a new nickname (as if she didn't have enough): The Monkers. Somehow "monkey" morphed into "The Monkers". Kinda sounds like a professional wrestler? huh.

Teething is just around the corner (no teeth yet).

Happy 6 months, Margot Leslie!
