Six Month Old Princess

These are a few of the six month pictures that Jenny took for us. Amazing. I have such a talented sister and I'm so thankful that she took so many great pictures of Macey for us.

Our little angel has turned half a year. I keep thinking that the stage that she is in right now is the best stage... but every day continues to get better.


Macey has been eating solids since she as 4 1/2 months and has decided that she likes everything but peas and green beans. For breakfast she eats fruit and has milk. Lunch she eats a vegetable (butternut squash and sweet potatos are her favorites) and has milk. Mid-afternoon she has milk for a snack and the rest of her lunch for an early dinner. Right before bed (around 6:45p), she has cereal and a fruit, then milk.


At her 6 month appointment, Macey weighed 18.1 lbs and measured 27 1/4 inches. I'm not 100% that the height is right as some of the babies in our group appear to be the same size but measure 28 1/2 inches...


Macey loves to touch the face of the person holding her and stare into their eyes. She laughs and smiles all the time and is generally a very happy baby. She does well playing by herself with her toys or in her jumparoo. She also loves singing and dancing with mommy and daddy as we get dinner ready. Bailey and Sam take turns sleeping by Macey's crib at night and suffer through her "petting" them each day.


Typically, Macey sleeps from 7:15p - 5a, eats and then is back asleep by 6a until 8:30a. We still don't have any teeth but all of the signs are there. Although she hasn't started crawling yet, she has become resourceful in spinning and flipping to get what she wants. If she can't spin or flip to get it, she usually decides it isn't worth getting after all.
