6 FAST Months!

I dont realize how big Hannah is until she is around another baby or I look back at pictures of her in our arms. At over 20 pounds- she has more than doubled her birth weight and is one wiggly-squirmy little girl! I was able to stop by my moms house yesterday during my work day and I got not just one- but TWO times to hold her as she slept on my chest. My nana said- dont you want to lay her down? Not one bit. 4 or 5 months ago I would have tried to lay her down so she would get acclamated to her crib- but I absolutely LOVED this moment. It is a RARE day or she has to be extremely tired for her to sleep on my chest anymore- and I love it. Ill take it any day!
It is amazing to watch a baby grow in just 6 months. I remember saying how big the changes are from 6-8 weeks, then 3-4 months and now at 6 months its incredible! She is ready to go! She does not sit still for one minute-she is so wiggly and squirmy! I have a feeling she is going to follow my nickname of "Busy". And even now I have a hard time of just sitting around and relaxing. Crazy I know. She'll probably get that from me! She is so darn sweet- like my mom said- you cant pick her up without kissing her. And its true- this might be the most kissed baby I know :)
Right now she is sleeping great! It was a little rough during the double ear infections but she has had this antibiotic for almost a week and she is feeling SO much better. We usually put her down around 9 and she wakes up after 6:30.
This girl keeps us laughing and there is absolutely NO Better sound than a baby's laugh. Its contagious! She laughs all the time and has started this screaming thing (I think once she starts talking- she is not going to stop!)
She is sitting up so great right now and even sat in her first highchair in a restaurant. Lets just say the days of dropping & picking up toys have just begun! She gets a little bored and restless but we will just have to come prepared! I love that she sits up now (I think 6 months will be one of my favorite ages!).
She is so grabby these days too! She LOVES jewelry- loves it! I have this beautiful "H" necklace that I bought in NC and she LOVES that thing. She'll spot it and smile then go in! I took her into work one day and she grabbed everyones bracelets and necklaces (She has good taste!)
We have worked in carrots and squash so far and she loves them. She gets so excited when she sees a bib! Ha!
She weighed 20.2 pds last Friday and we will go on Monday for her 6 month. I have had to go through her closet to box up so many clothes- Im sure you can imagine what size she is wearing :) Of course most brands size their clothes differently so when 12 months is only 15-18 pounds then we have to get bigger sizes :) Im thinking once she starts crawling she will thin out a little bit and we might even go back to some of her old clothes.
She makes this HILARIOUS sound- usually when she is happy, but it sounds like a growl! Its SO funny! When Im getting ready in the morning and I hear her waking up- she starts growling. I always just listen for 10 minutes or so and laugh. Then I go in there and look at the SMILIEST face I have ever seen. There is no better feeling than to see her smile when you walk into a room (of course I think she'd smile at anyone who would get her out of her crib!)
Life is great these days- Hannah couldn't be more fun! I cant wait for more :) (Of course my bank account can!)

This is the poorest quality video (I promise we get real video and real pictures that are not taken from cell phones) but it is the sound that matters :) This little girl can squeal!
