Happy Half Birthday Zelena Mae

Half way there and so much fun!

Z is such a lovable little snuggle bug. She loves to smile and giggle except right after she has woken up from a nap. Occasionally she will give you a serious look like the weight of the world is on her shoulders (is what Nana likes to say). She just started sitting up within the past couple days. We also started solids but as of right now she hasn't shown much interest. She loves to grab for anything in her reach. Most everything she grabs goes straight to her mouth. Her front, bottom teeth want to come in so bad. I'm hoping that is the reason for the lack of sleep the past month. Besides the fact that she transitioned out of her swaddle, which involved several nights of no sleep. Z still loves her left hand two middle fingers. As you can tell, I can't keep them out of her mouth if I tried. I just like that it makes the sign for love. I have started using sign language with her in the past few weeks, in hopes that she will pick it up. I swear she did the sign for milk to me the other day. Or I could have been delirious from the lack of sleep. 

Besides the sleep, I couldn't be happier. This little bundle of joy has blessed her dad's and my life more than she will ever know. I seriously can't believe the love I have for this little human being and how much it grows more and more everyday. I am one lucky mommy to be able to spend every minute of the day with this adorable chunky monkey.

The sticker didn't last long ...

After some six month picture taking we headed to the doctor for Z's check up.

In the picture above she is telling me all about how she does not want the shots she is about to get. 

Surprisingly she only cried for a second and then started smiling at the nurse. Best shot response thus far.

Z has gained 2.5 pounds since her 4 month appointment, weighing in at 15.5 lbs. in the 40th percentile. She is 26 inches long, putting her in the 70th percentile for height and 55th percentile for her head.

I know every mom says this but I really can't believe Z is six months old. 

Looking forward to the other half and many more!
