6-months old

Happy six months Gabriela!

Wow, I really didn't think its been six months! I am the mother of a 6 month old. That's crazy. Looking back I knew time would pass, but I didn't think it would be like this. My little girl has changed so much. Here are some interesting changes

• From being, basically a rag doll to someone who can hold themselves up, my baby girl is strong. She showed her strength early on by being able to hold her head up. Now she can sit for quite awhile. She will eventually tumble over. Its a bit strange watching them fall over. They don't quite realize what's going on. They just sort of stare with this dumbfounded look on their face as they go over. She also lunges for her toys and rakes them into herself to grab.
• What a talker. I only heard cries in the early days. Now its cries, squeals, squawks, screeches, babble, and bubbles. She can certainly entertain herself and her mommy and papa.
• She loves looking at her hands these days. She stares at them, twisting them around like she just newly discovered them. She's so fascinated by this. Its followed by a quick chop in her mouth and then she flaps them around like a bird taking flight.
  
• Her facial expressions have also changed. Before I was so eager to see her first smile, but all I got was a gassy grin. Now anything will put a smile on her face. She also pierces her lips out in a funny fashion and blows raspberries while stretching out both of her arms. She makes a lot of funny faces.

These are just of few of the things that is our Gabriela. Her personality is starting to shine through and she's growing into a little person. She's amazing and everyday she is changing. Mommy and Papa love you very much our darling baby girl. Its been a great six months!
