Curie turns 6 months – it has been half a year already, and we are not ready for her to grow up so fast. In this month, she learned to sit by herself, then learned to pull herself up to a sitting position, got ready to crawl – rocking back and forth, and began to crawl on her hands and feet. She looks like a little girl, and it almost breaks my heart to see her first pictures so small and frail. . She has bows for her hair, books to read, and toys to play with. The teacher at school says that she has never seen a baby so advanced, and even though she must say that to all the parents, we can’t help but feel proud.
She is well over twelve pounds, she may even be over thirteen, our doctor’s appointment isn’t until the 15th. She outgrew her zero to three month old clothes and is in her three to six month clothes, though they are a little big. She has long feet and is growing out. She is curious and opinionated, tried to take a pacifier from another baby, and a little manic at times. She makes pterodactyl noises, and monkey noises, and baby noises, and laughs when you rub your face on her belly. She is small, feisty, angelic and perfect. When the days are long and wearing, Curie makes the weary go away with a smile and a head resting upon your chest. Happy 6 months, Baby – and thank you.
