Happy half Year Ella Jo!

Im not sure if celebrating half year is glass half full or half empty. It makes me so sad time is going by so quickly. I look at the boys and cannot even remember snuggling them. Every time I pick you up, I want to feel your chubby cheeks pressed against mine. When I lay you down at night I wrap my arms around you just a little longer. I love you so much baby girl. 
At 6 months, YOU:
Weigh
Finally are back to sleeping from around 8-5 but not without crying it out 1-2 times a night. I know you are not hungry but I think just want to be soothed.
Still eat around 5-6 times per day
Wear size 3 diaper and 9month in length clothes. You are so long!
Dive for anyone eating or drinking! Sometimes when you are sitting with your big bros at the table you get so excited watching then eat, words cannot describe your facial and hand motions- you just want it so bad!
Have tried rice and oatmeal cereal, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, and green beans. You love the food but it has to be warmed. Temperature is key for you which is a terrible habit to start unless I have a microwave in my bag at all times! The food has not been consistent in the schedule just whenever it works with our day. 
Change each day - your hair is getting darker, your eyes more hazel - wondering if they will end up brown.
Are not quite sitting up but close.
Love to grab our faces and your poor brothers just let you squeeze and slober all over them.
Still do not have a consistent day schedule. Napping a little better but not without a good cry first.
