Evelyn - 6 months

When we had Lily, the first year went by so slow because we struggled with so much - physically, emotionally, mentally. People would say "it goes by so fast, doesn't it!" and I would just burst into tears! This time I want to burst into tears again but for the opposite reason. It IS going by so fast. Evelyn refuses to be a baby. She wants to GO and she is determined to do just that. She keeps me on my toes!! 

Right now baby girl is rolling, army crawling, very close to regular crawling, sitting and almost able to get into a sitting position on her own. She laughs, is ticklish, says "MAMA" and is starting on her Ba's. She has tried a ton of food: sweet potatoes, avocado, apple, peaches, watermelon, corn, carrots, and rice crackers. She is in cloth diapers full time. Nurses about every 3-4 hours. Wakes about 2-3 times a night. Goes to sleep between 6-7 and sleeps until 5-6am (really!) She is almost outgrown her 6mo clothes! She loves her sister and constantly watches her with a big smile on her face. She is LOUD - happy loud with lots of screeching and just regular hollering ;) 
She is a JOY and such a happy addition to our family. I look at her and thank the heavens above for her.

Updated with 6 month stats:
15lbs 15.5oz (45%)
25.5in (30%)
Always ready with a smile
Fascinated by Layla. She loves to watch her and screech at her :) 
Loves to stick out that adorable tongue!
Sitting. And SO CLOSE to being able to get into a sitting position on her own.
Into EVERYTHING
My sunshine
