Happy 6 Months!

6 Months.
A half year.

Holy Moly! I cannot believe how FAST this time has gone! Bryell is 6 months old today! She is growing and developing so quickly and its so sad yet exciting at the same time. I know this time will keep going quicker and quicker....

In these six months Bryell has been the light of Jeffrey and I's life. Anyone who does not believe in miracles is not a parent, has not held a baby, or has not had a baby smile at them. Bryell is truly a gift from God.

While we were super excited that Bryell rolled from front to back AND back to front, she does not seem super motivated to do it very much. I have only seen it happen about 2 other times. She LOVES to play and sleep on her side so constantly rolls to her side, jut not always the whole way. She has found her voice and will lay on the floor screaming high pitched screams just because she loves the sound of it and loves that she can do it. She is getting so LOUD! Our ears are usually throbbing after 10 minutes constant of this! Bryell is eating one meal a day of solids, we will move it up to two here pretty soon. One thing that I absolutely love about this age is that she gets excited seeing us after we've been gone. I get a huge smile when I pick her up from Lindsay's. If she is laying on the ground her excitement is partnered with her legs kicking. Its so fun! She is at the stage now where whatever I am holding, she wants. If she has something that she shouldn't have and I take it away- she cries. She is a very inquisitive little girl. In the past few weeks, she has learned to sit up on her own! It started out just 10 seconds, then just 30 seconds, and now she is pretty good at it! Yesterday we were sitting on the floor playing and she started to fall backwards but got distracted by a toy in my hand and after tipping halfway over so brought herself back up to grab the toy! When she lays in her boppy she will sit herself up to check things out and then lay back down. I am super impressed by this little girl!

As for clothes. She is all over the board! She still has some 0-3 month clothes but is mainly in 3-6 months. We got out the 6-9 month clothes last night. The onesies are very close to fitting her but the pants are not at all close. We pulled out a few pairs of pants but mostly the onesies.

On other notes, Jeffrey finished is football season and his 8th grade team was undefeated! I am teaching dance just for the month of October to fill in for another teacher- its so fun but sure makes my Tuesday nights BUSY! Jeff has 2 classes left of his masters and is so ready to be finished! We switched to Tmobile cell phone company last week and are ecstatic! We have great service EVERYWHERE! I talked to a friend on the phone from Rock Springs to Lyman and could hear her the whole time! AND she could hear ME!! We can talk on our phones in our house and at work and even around Lyman! It was definitely a good switch. Another change- I am starting to work Fridays in November. It will definitely be different only being at home with Bryell two days, but it will soon be three again (January). I have loved this halftime set up. I am so grateful to spend time with Bryell during the day.

By the way, last night Bryell must have known it was her birthday- she was up from 2:45-6:15am playing and having a blast! We both finally went to sleep at 6:15 but only got to sleep until 7:30 when she decided to get up and play some more! :)
