Skye just turned 6 months old!

This is my first blog entry for Skye.
She was born on 2/23/2005 and life has definitely changed since then. But all for the better! Not that life was ever bad before though! Skye is such a great wee girl and really has been a good baby. Let's hope she stays this way, even through those teenage years!

Skye had her 6 month checkup on Tuesday. She is 15lb 11.5oz and 25.75inches long. She is in the 50th percentile which is great and right on track. She is now sitting pretty well, but still needs to be spotted as she falls over a lot! She also managed to move around quite a bit which can be unconcerting at times! She's not exactly crawling, just schmooching around on her belly. She can move pretty fast though! She absolutely loves Tommy (our dog) and reaches out for him at every opportunity to stroke him and pull his hair. Needless to say, Tommy runs like the clappers when he sees her (after a quick sniff and occasional lick!)

She was so cute this morning. I heard her cooing in her crib when I got up. I then got all my stuff ready for pumping and made my mothers milk tea before going to get her. When I got there she just looked up and gave me a huge smile. It really makes my day when she is like that - which is most days! I b/fed her for about 30 mins - but she took breaks to pull my hair and look up and stick her tongue out at me. I made stupid noises to make her laugh. I love her wee giggle. After all this fun, I was of course running late for getting to work, so it was a quick diaper change (her not me!) and a dubious choice of clothes (her AND me) then I took her in to snuggle with her dad and Tommy on our bed. I was made even later as I frolicked on the bed with the three of them, before managing to drag myself downstairs to the car and off to work!

Can't wait to pick her up from daycare tonight...and am looking forward to some quality time with her this weekend! We start solids tomorrow!!!! Looking forward to that too.
