Wow! I cannot believe that our Jilly Bear is HALF A YEAR OLD already! How time flies when you are having fun! It has been an exciting month for our little girl, and I think these pictures tell you all you need to know about what Jilly has been up to...
First of all, you will notice that her month pictures have changed locations and that's because Jillian got the best present of all for her 1/2 year birthday...a HOUSE! I really did pray for us to be in the house by the time she turned 6 months old and God anwered my prayer!
Next you'll notice that Jilly is sitting up all on her own! She has always been a big, strong girl but she has done really well at sitting by herself. It is so cute to see her becoming the same size as her monkey. I took her to the doctor for her well-baby check-up and she is 26 inches tall and 16 pounds, 5 ounces. She is in the 60th percentile on both height and weight so she is evening out!
She is so curious now too. She loves to grab at everything, which has made Mommy and Daddy more aware of what she is near because she will grab anything she can get her hands on! It made her 6-month photos a little more difficult as she kept grabbing for her sign. Long since gone are the days where Jilly would just sit there! It's ok though because it is so fun to watch her grow and change everyday.
Also, Jilly has been teething and so along with grabbing anything she can, she immediately sticks stuff into her mouth. Nothing is safe from this drooly monster...packing bubbles, toys, Mommy's phone. But she's just so cute that you can't help but smile when she does this.
Six months down, six months to go till our baby girl turns 1! I'm not sure we can top her 6 month gift of a house, but we sure will try to make her next 6 months just as healthy, happy, and fun as the past 6 have been! Happy Half Birthday Jilly...Mommy and Daddy love you more than you will ever know!
