Evangeline turned 6 months old in the middle of December but with the rush of the holidays I got behind. Then my computer was out of commission from just before Christmas until last weekend. I felt as though my left hand had been cut off. But here is the 6 month update on my little sweetie.
Christmastime was so fun with little Evangeline. She attended Dad's work and 7th District Christmas parties and was the belle of the ball in her little Christmas dress. She loved the paper and ribbons of the presents, crumpling and sticking everything in her mouth. When I set her up for a little photo shoot our Christmas tree also merited a little taste testing.
Eva cut her first tooth on December 10th. The second tooth followed almost two weeks later but you can hardly ever see them because she always has her tongue sticking out. Her tongue was her favorite entertainment for quite a while, tasting and licking everything. She even sucks on her tongue at night, too cute. She is able to sit on her own for just a few minutes but then bobbles over. Toys are beginning to hold Eva's interest. She likes to mouth the little people nativity figures and pull on the monkey on her car seat handle.
Eva also rolled from her front to her back on purpose on Dec. 10th. But she like rolling from back to front better. One of our favorite times is each evening when I lay her out on a blanket, take off her clothes to her onesie and rub her down with lotion. She giggles and laughs as I tickle her with my hair, blow raspberries on her belly, and "Boo" at her. Then she rolls herself onto her tummy and scootches around on her blanket after her toys.
Eva sure loves her food. Most nights she practically dives out of her Bumbo for her cereal and applesauce. At meal times she loves gumming little bits of bread or rolls. We just introduced peaches and graham crackers, both of which she loves. All that nutrition keeps her growing and growing. At her 6 month appt she was 28.25 in and 17 lb 1 oz. That's 99+% for height and 70% for weight. Eva had to move up to her 12 months clothes just after Christmas.
