mushy

This baby girl loves herself some food! Even bland mush.

She will take whatever she can get, whenever she can get it.

When she sees food and can't have it, she has a mini-seizure. Her hands go crazy, she starts moaning and she does a whole body shake.. as if every fiber of her being is starving. She hates it when I deliberately keep the food away from her just to watch her freak out for a minute longer.

She's a very serious baby. Smiles are given if you work for them, but laughs aren't an every day luxury. Zack can get them most often, Daddy comes in close second. Mommy is in dead last place. I think I've gotten her to laugh twice. It's so not fair.

At six months of age, she is creeping up on 20 pounds. 19 point something. She is too heavy for Simon to lift and that's a wonderful thing. He will still try to pick her up and after a few minutes, he'll give up and say, "Mo-Mo is too fat."

We call her Mo-Mo. I am not really sure how it happened, but Mo stuck. and it fits her. She also goes by Monkey, Little Sweetie Pie, StinkyPants and Baby Doll.

She loves being a part of the crowd and will look you straight in the eyes, as if she's reading your thoughts. We can already tell she is one smart cookie.

She can roll over, but she doesn't want to. She won't sit up, either. She doesn't like exerting too much energy to do anything. She's the kind of diva that would rather be carried everywhere and be held all day long.

people ask me if it's different having a girl and I always answer YES. She has changed my world. She is a much more demanding baby than any of my boys ever were, but she is so worth it. My life and future is brighter because she is in it.

She is the baby girl I've always wanted.
