big girl Gee

sooo, mama's baby is 6 months now, and i figure i should probably blog more often (for real this time), b/c she's growing super-duper fast and i don't want to miss anything! Gee now eats apples, carrots, pears, bananas, and sweet potatoes with rice cereal or oatmeal. she also (semi-) drinks from a sippy cup. it's the funniest thing to feed her because she's always grabbing the spoon; trying to feed herself already, can we say GROWN!? lol :) and ya'll, i could promise that Gee says "mama" sometimes, or at least "ma". her babbling consists of most of the consonant sounds, and she has so much variation in her voice. she's just like a little grown-up! oh yeah, and she hardly likes to be held anymore. little miss Gee wants to get down on the floor and roll around. a couple of days ago, i sat her down on the floor and she tried to pull her self up to standing using my leg! and teething update: no teeth yet, but i may be feeling a top tooth. Gee won't let me look at it, though. she always sticks out her tongue when i try to look. so we may or may not have some front teeth for Christmas; a lot can happen in 3 days!

and ya'll, Gee's hair: it's freaking amazing. pretty much the longest, thickest hair i have ever seen on a baby, and i don't say that to brag, i promise. and talk about tenderheaded? Lawd have mercy! Gee did let me comb it with no fuss this morning, but most times she bucks her head back or tries to snatch the comb from my hand or just leans back and looks at me with those big, brown, bright eyes as if to say "now, mama, you know i don't like this. don't do this to me!" but i don't have a choice. no matter how much she screams, i comb 'til all the tangles and knots are gone. if Gee goes one morning or night w/o getting her hair combed, it is NOT a pretty sight......... i'm already using toddler shampoo and detangler/curl definer. i'm scared of our hair future lol!

i think that puts us pretty up-to-date with Gee's development. as for me? meh, who wants to hear about my boring life? when i have some exciting news, ya'll will know. until next time... :)

love, elle&gee
