Taylor was 1/2 a year old on Monday. We went to the doctor yesterday and the doctor said she looks great! She was 17 lbs 9 oz (70th %) and 26 1/2 inches long (90th %). She got two shots, but did really well with them and wasn't fussy at all yesterday.
Here are some of Taylor's favorite things:
- She LOVES to sit up! And she does it really well. If she gets excited or if music is playing (especially if Dustin is playing the guitar), she swings her arms like crazy. It's so cute!
- She loves to play in her jumper or her exer-saucer. She is so easily entertained and will stay in them for 30 or 45 minutes at a time!
- She loves to babble and hear herself talk. She squeals and giggles and babbles all the time. Occassionally, we'll hear a "ma-ma" or "da-da" mixed in with her babbling and we get so excited!
- She loves to eat her baby food. So far, she's had rice, wheat and barley cereal, green beans, peas, squash and carrots. She gobbles it all up! In fact, she has her mouth wide open for the next bite often before I can even get the spoon out of the bowl.
Here are some of Taylor's least favorite things:
- Taylor does not like it when you leave the room she is in. She starts screaming and crying until you go back in the room with her. When she sees you, though, she smiles from ear to ear.
- She HATES having her nose suctioned. Yes, I would be worried if she liked it, but she really hates it! She has allergies quite frequently, so I feel like I am constantly suctioning her nose. Poor thing!
- She also now hates tummy time. She liked it quite a lot at first, but now she doesn't like it for more than about 5 minutes. She's only rolled over twice, and the doctor said we needed to put her on her tummy as often as possible to give her the chance to roll over. I hope she starts liking it more, soon!
- Taylor also hates to sleep in her bed laying flat on the mattress, like most babies do. A few weeks ago, she was so stopped up that she couldn't breath laying down. We put her in the carseat and she slept all night without a peep. After her congestion got better, we tried to take her out of the carseat and she was not having it. I asked the doctor yesterday, and she said we should probably break this habit. So, last night was really tough!!! But we all made it!
Here are some new pictures of my sweet 6 month old and some of the kids I keep.
Such a sweet smile!

It is hard to believe that she has been here for 1/2 a year! Time will only fly by faster and faster each year. I hope we can all enjoy and cherish each moment. She is beautiful! Love that first picture.
She looks so happy and grown up looking. That beautiful smile melts your heart. She's a doll!
I cannot believe she's 6 months old already!!! How fast time goes! Next month I'm going to have a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old! How'd that happen? Ha! Those pictures are just beautiful and I'm so glad that you've had such a great 1st half-year!
She is adorable! I love that dress.
Elise has bad allergies too! If she get too congested we will raise her matress or crib w/ books (it is secure, I promise)and that gives her enough incline to breathe a little better. I can't believe she slept all night in the carseat! That must be one comfortable seat!
Yes, Jen...it is crazy! She slept in her carseat all night, every night for like 3 weeks! This is one bad habit that's hard to break!
She is just too precious for words! I think she is looking more and more like you with every picture I see. Too cute!!!
WOW! Time flies! I cannot believe she is 6 months. She is so sweet, Ally. I am so happy for you guys. I love her lists of like and dislikes. That will be so fun to look back on.
Good luck with the sleeping stuff. It is SO sad to break sleeping habits because usually it means a lack of sleep for Mommy and Daddy.
LOVE YOU!
Thatcher and Taylor look like brother and sister, wow that last picture, they look just alike, beautiful babies.
precious!
So cute, Allyson! I love her in that dress.
oh my goodness, I can't believe she's already 6 months old. It seems like just yesterday we were visiting y'all in the hospital!!
Those are awesome pictures! I love that sweet pink dress on her... Have a great weekend! HAPPY 6 months!
She and Thatcher look like twins! Such cute kids!
