McKell's 6th month

We started out this month with a big milestone! You sat all by yourself! You were just sitting on the living room floor watching Larry the Cucumber sing silly songs. You didn't wabble or fall over. Mommy and Daddy are so amazed at how deliberate your movements are. Its like you were thinking about sitting up for so long and then finally you decide to just do it without any hesitation or fear. Barely 2 days later, you decide to do another first! You splashed in the bathtub!

This month was also your very first Mardi Gras. Mommy and Daddy thought you were just a little too young to go see the parades so we spent a nice quiet day at home with Daddy starting our organic garden.

This month you also learned to pass a toy from your left hand to your right hand. You seem to use your left hand more than your right, and Daddy is already thinking you might be left handed like him! This month we introduced you to squash and spinach. Much to our surprise you love the spinach but won't touch the squash unless it's mixed with some other fruit.

This month we also started sleeping in your big girl bed in your very own room! Mommy wasa little sad not to have you so close anymore, but you had definitely outgrown the cradle! You are going down at night with no problems and are sleeping very well at night. We do still get up at least once to feed you, but Mommy secretly loves the quiet snuggle time so she doesn't mind at all.
