Carson - 6 Months!

Carson Blaire is now 6 months old.  Tell me, it can't be.  She is such a little ball of happiness!  Thankfully, she has been healthy and happy the last two months, phew.

Stats:
Weight: 16 lbs. 5 oz. (60th percentile)
Height: 26 inches

At 6 Months:

• Carson is doing very well at sitting up.  She definitely isn't to the point where I can be more than a foot away from her when she is sitting.  She likes to throw herself backwards, but I am sure she will figure it all out soon enough.
• She is also getting very excited about moving around when she is on her belly.  She kicks and flails her arms.  She can definitely get to the things that she wants by rolling and pivoting.
• She absolutely loves to be naked.  She squeals with delight when we start taking her clothes off and then cries in agony when we put them back on.  Silly girl.
• She has been sleeping very well the last few nights.  She did go through a period where she would go to sleep and then wake up an hour and a half later.  We would then struggle to get her back to sleep.  
• She is sucking on her tongue lately.  She rolls it back and pushes it up on the roof of her mouth and then sucks.  This is the girl who refuses a bottle, pacifier and doesn't even suck on her fingers.  Now, she has found her tongue and goodness knows, we can't take that away.  In doing this, she also purses her lips.  This reminds me of Miranda from Devil Wears Prada when she isn't pleased with something.  Thankfully, she's nothing but happiness and contentment when she does it.
• She absolutely HATES to have her nose and mouth wiped.
• Her top two teeth are coming through to add to the bottom two that she already has.  She will be so cute with the toothy grin.
• She is eating lots of different foods.  We have tried butternut squash, green peas, sweet potatoes, prunes, pears, and a few others that I am sure I am forgetting.  She isn't a huge fan of rice cereal and she was pretty disgusted by her first taste of bananas, although she had them for a second time and didn't hate them quite as much.
• She is wearing 9 months and 6-12 month clothes.  She seems to be progressing through clothing rather fast.  She is currently wearing size 3 diapers.  
• Her favorite toy is an attachment to her playmat that crinkles when she plays with it.  It's the little things. ; )
