The Sass Family: Finally... 6 month photos!

Things have been a bit crazy around the Sass house, so I'm a little late getting some of Adelyn's 6 month photos uploaded. I have to admit, I thought if I didn't add these photos maybe she wouldn't really be 6 months. :) Our little Peanut is growing so much. At Adelyn's 6 month checkup, the doctor told us she is growing and developing just like a term 6 month old. Good news, she doesn't need age adjustment anymore!! She is 50% for height and head circumference, and 25% for weight (no wonder she is still in 3 month clothing). Some of the other recent accomplishments for Miss Adelyn are responding to (and ignoring) her name, knowing Ginger & Baxter by name, eating cereal like a champ, giggling like crazy, sitting unassisted for 10-15 seconds, inching her body backwards (although not entirely sure it is intentional), putting both feet into her mouth at the same time (not sure that is an accomplishment or just gross), and the sweetest thing of reaching for us when we go to pick her up - love this one! Hopefully by the next monthly update she will be able to sit up by herself and drink from a sippy cup without causing her eyes to water & a coughing spell.

Wish I hadn't put those silly white socks on her.

Gather round the magic carpet children, its story time.

The headpiece started on the left, but kept moving toward the middle.

She thought a fun game to play with daddy was catch Ady before she falls off the frog.

Every once in a while its all worth it for a shot like this!

Might need to train Daddy on fixing the props & where to stand.

By far the worst part of going to the checkups is the shots. She let out a scream at this round of shots that we had never heard before. Daddy thought it was refreshing to hear that sound, since fortunately we aren't use to hearing her cry like that. He might be eating his words now. The last 3 nights have been horrible. Our little angel who has slept through the night since 8 weeks decided to go on vacation and leave the screaming, cranky sidekick. The calm before the storm she was rolling around (see the photos) having fun, and then it was time to sleep. It doesn't help that mother's intuition is failing this week too. Not sure if it is the shots, teething, growth spurt, or separation anxiety. Now I can finally appreciate when other parents say, just when you think you have things figured out - they change! The good news is there is improvement from night to night, bad news I'm still not sure what is going on. As long as my sweet little angel comes back from vacay, I can live without knowing.
