Camilla at 6 months old.




Our sweet "pumpkin" turned 6 months this past month, and she could not be any cuter!
At her six month check-up she weighed 16.2 Lbs, and was 26 inches long.

Just as Jacob is all boy, she is ALL girl. Loves to cuddle, kiss, and tilts her head to the side when you tell her "Ohh bebe!", and knows she is cute when she does it :O)

She is the happiest baby ever. She always wakes-up with a huge smile and big bright eyes. She smiles at everyone and has been practicing her waiving bye-bye. She especially loves waiving bye to daddy in the mornings. And as you can all imagine, she is daddy's princess. He just melts when he is holding her and playing with her. Of course, she would not be my daughter if she didn't love to yap :O) She has started to say bebe and mama (not specifically to me, but still cute!), and has recently taken a liking for singing! To the point that when we are in the car and Jacob has his music on, he eventually gets annoyed that she is "singing" too loud and will not let him hear the songs. She sounds really cute.
She is quite the eater too. She loves to eat anything and everything in her path! I have been making her food and she loves it. I think one of her favorite things are grapes and bread. Goodness forbid you eat bread in front of her and not let her have some, she will kick-up a storm until she gets her own bread :O) Unlike Jacob, she is more interested in the bottle than nursing, she seems to think that the boob is a toy and not food.

She has just begun trying to sit on her own, although she still tips over often. She does not crawl yet, but if you put her on the floor, she will travel EVERYWHERE by rolling around :O) She also does this thing that I call "little sky diver", on her belly with both arms back and up, and with both legs raised up. For some reason, she seems to like that position quite a bit.

She is sleeping through the night, and has done great with sharing a room with her big brother, whom she just adores!!! She can be still and cuddly in your arms one minute, but if she gets a glimpse or hears Jacob, she goes wild! They are very funny when we put them down to sleep at the same time. They can spend close to an hour "talking" and laughing together. I just love it! It blesses our hearts to see them love each other so much.

Thankfully she LOVES the water (and with our weather, she would be a very miserable baby if she didn't) and has a blast when we take them swimming. She loves splashing around and even thinks it's fun when I dunk her in, but has even more fun watching her crazy brother do silly jumps into the pool.

We have been greatly blessed with this little one, and thank the Lord for giving her to us.
