Month 6 with Mae was certainly a good one, especially because it was the holidays! Babies and children make the holidays so special and this was no exception.
Here she is in all her 6-month glory!
She got this walker toy from both grandparents as an early Christmas present and loves spending time in it!
First time with Santa-
We had to bring her out of a nap for the picture, but luckily she doesn't have stranger danger and sat there staring at the camera. No smile, but I won't complain!
She also had her first gift exchange with her siblings and Eve drew her name and gifted her this sweet flamingo stuffy.
This gal is so lucky to have such awesome siblings!
First road trip-
And she totally rocked it!
Yeah, there were ups and downs, but for the most part this girl was wonderful!
She had a few struggles sleeping because the hotel didn't have a crib for her, but we made it work...
She fell asleep on the bed, slept on the closet floor, and ended up in our bed...
You do what you gotta do!
Baths in the hotel sink were pretty exciting, too!
And everyone was on board to help wind her down after a day in the car.
She got to see so much family in Utah, they all fawned over her and she just let them. She is just such an easy going sweetheart!
Christmas Sunday
Christmas Eve
She clearly had so much fun joining in all the fun traditions that Christmas brings!
Milk drunk baby girl dreaming of gifts Santa would bring...
First Christmas
She slept through most of the older kids opening their gifts and we woke her so she could check out her stuff before going back and forth a bit between houses.
Lucky enough, she had Grandma Cindy to help her out!
Merry First Christmas, baby girl!
This girl traveled so well, slept well and just let everyone love her.
She tried solids for the first time while we were there-
And had several major "adjusting to solids blowouts" to follow! Luckily Grandma Teresa was around to help with a lot of those clean ups!
The road trip back to Ohio was not as smooth as the trip to Utah, Mae started off the trip home with stomach bug, threw up the first night and then passed it to me, Dad and Eve.
She didn't sleep this peaceful for very long, but taking her to see everyone for the holidays was worth the torture that drive back was.
These two beautiful teeth popped up at some time during the month also--I can't believe that gummy smile is already gone!
Happy 6-months, Mae baby, thank you for being the perfection of a babe that you are.
