Happy Half Birthday

To Pierson! Since Pierson was born on December 31st she doesn't exactly have a marker for each month so June 30th is her half birthday. The last 6 months have absolutely flown by and I cannot believe our 3rd child is already halfway to her first birthday! She is a sweet baby girl and we are so thankful for her life. She is the easiest baby and very laid back. Maybe it's the third kid thing and she has no choice but to be easy and go with the flow. She is always happy and eager to grab your attention and smile at you.

So here are Sweet P's updates at 6 months of age:

• She goes down at 7 p.m. and sleeps until I wake her up, which is between 7-7:30 a.m.
• She drinks 4 bottles a day and one jar of baby food.
• She naps 3 times a day, each nap lasting between 1-2.5 hours. Yes, be jealous! When she does wake up Pierson is talking and super happy. Of course I do not think this will always be the case because Ella-Ann used to wake up like that and now she is quite moody before breakfast!
  
• She lights up at the sight of one of her family members.
• Pierson spends a lot of time in her exersaucer, but her bouncy seat is her favorite spot, especially when I put the fish attachment on it. She kicks like crazy when she watches the bubbles and the fish move. Ella-Ann always asks if Pierson can watch her show!
  
• She cannot sit unassisted yet, but she is closer to sitting than rolling over! She doesn't roll much and will just fuss while on her belly until someone saves her by rolling her back over to her back.
• She sucks her thumb and sleeps with her bunny lovey right now.
  
• No teeth yet.
• Pierson loves to sit in her Bumbo seat and watch me work in the kitchen.
• Spencer has decided to learn how to play the guitar recently so when he is strumming Pierson goes bananas. She loves the tune!

Spencer and I have really enjoyed just spending time with Pierson this week. We really miss Ella-Ann and Rane like crazy but getting one-on-one time with little P has been great. She is precious!
