6 months old

6 months old.

Our little princess is now 6 months, half a year old; it doesn't seem possible that our teeny tiny little 6lbs 11oz baby is already 6 months. These last 6 months have by far been the best, most amazing, most rewarding, yet challenging 6 months of my life. They've flown by, almost although I've blinked and we've missed the last 6 months, we've gone from July to January in a second, in a heartbeat.

I suppose I want to make this post into a kind of an update, chit-chat kind of post. Lets start with an update - Evangeline has learnt to sit these last few weeks and hates to lay down, given any opportunity she'll sit or stand. She's sitting up really well - from what I can remember she started sitting unassisted a week or so before turning 6 months, although she is still a bit wobbly, a bit unsteady if she's overcome with excitement and tends to topple over; but she's getting there, a great deal more sturdy when shes excited than a few weeks ago; but when she's calm, playing or watching cbeebies she's sitting practically perfectly.

So not only has she learned how to sit, she can also say "Mama"  which melts my heart! She's mumbling "Dada" too! I mean, she says babbles quite a bit of the time saying lots of things like "yum yum, nom nom, baba"  and so on, but Mama and Dada she says distinctly, pretty much perfectly. 

Teething...those pesky 2 bottom teeth are making an apperance, she's been teething for quite some time now but we can finally see them making there way threw her gums - so somebody hasn't been a very happy pickle for a little while. So please teeth, please come soon! It's crazy to think this time next month our little pickle could have 2 teeth!?

Pretty little princess.

I was supposed to upload this the day Evangeline turned 6 months, 7th January 2017- but honestly I've been preoccupied, so busy doing this house hunting malarkey. Mind you, I don't think I've mentioned on here - we're hoping to move into a new place this year! but I've gone more in depth in another post about that, I'm not to sure whether it'll go up befofe or after this, I'll try and link it.

Anyway back to the update. Evangeline loveeesss to stand up too, doesn't particularly enjoy being sat to long or laying down. She loves to be up high watching everything that is going on around her - such an inquisitive madam; she's really into people watching, showing of her cheeky little smile to pracically anyone who she spots; she's the happiest, cheeriest little baby.

We've been weaning her since she turned 4 months, we decided to start earlier than 6 months as she's a hungry little lady. She loves her food!! Anything savory or vegetables, fruit, meats or carbohydrates she adores - however anything to sweet or any sort of chocolate makes her heave, she hates them! I'm not particularly fond of choice or sweeties either. If you'd like a more in depth post about our weaning be sure to let me know. :) 

Evangeline loves her toys, mainly the ones she can chew on (probably because of her teeth); or her jumperoo. She doesn't have a favourite really, she'll prefer one for a few days and another the next, we still haven't opened all of her toys she received for christmas haha!

She's wearing 6-9 clothing, pretty much completely grown out of her 3-6; which is kind if expected as when I upload this she's nearing 7 months. 

I think that's pretty much everything I can think to update on; if there's anything else I remember I'll pop it on here or on another post. Thank you for reading and I will talk to you in my next post.
