Olivia: Six Months Old

Olivia Ann,
     Happy Half Birthday my beautiful girl. I cannot believe you are S I X months old today! You are growing so fast, yet are still tiny. When we took you to the doctors last week, you weighed 14 lbs 6 oz {23%} and were 63.5 cm long {29%}. You are also a little mini-me! You have my hair, my eyes, my cheeks, and my light complexion. I don't know where you get your sassy attitude from, but surely it isn't from me. ;) These last six months have been an adjustment, especially for your brother, but I wouldn't have traded them for anything. We love you SOOOO much Livie!
XOXO,
Mommy
All about you:
You still love to be held 95% of the time.
You like to give open mouth kisses.
You have found your feet and love to suck on your toes.
You still like to suck on your fingers.
You still despise tummy time. You cry or roll over when we put you on your belly.
You have rolled over once from back to belly {2/6}.
You don't like being alone or when I step away and you can't see me.
You are very ticklish! 
When you are mad in your bouncer {usually when I'm showering and can't pick you up} you pull yourself to sitting and then fling yourself back.
You fight your sleep, especially in the evening.
You only nap for 30-45 minute increments.
 You wake up every 2-3 hours at night to nurse. {We need to fix that.}
You like to sleep next to me.
You nurse about every 3 hours.
From 1/25 to 1/30 you went through a nursing strike where you were super picky about eating.
Connor fed you your second bottle on 1/26. He had so much fun feeding you.
Every time I take a sip of water, you think you should have a drink too. {You can actually suck from the straw and get water.}
 You love to smile and laugh! 
You talk and scream louder and more than ever.
You pull my hair all the time. While you're nursing, while your trying to go to sleep, when I'm holding you... It doesn't matter if I have it up or down, you find it.
You can put your paci back in your mouth by yourself.
You have learned to sit by yourself. You are a little unbalanced at times, but doing great!
You were size 3-6 month clothes, but can fit in some 6-9.
