Melanie is 6 months today!

Can you believe Melanie is 6 months already? She's gone from this skinny newborn to a plump, grabbing-for-everything infant. She is still sleeping from 8pm to 6:30 or 7am! Something that Allie never did (and still doesn't do). Melanie loves to watch Allie dance and make funny faces. Allie has finally stopped asking, "Is she awake?” Melanie laughs and smiles from the moment she wakes up to the time she goes to sleep. We've been feeding her baby food. Her favorites are sweet potatoes, squash, and all of the fruits. She's not too sure about carrots and peas. She sticks her tongue out when I try to feed her. When she laughs, I sneak a spoonful into her mouth. She goes to the doctor on Monday for her 6-month check up that includes shots and recording her weight and length. We'll see if she's off the charts in both areas. Until Monday...
