6 months

To my little babushka...at six months.

You weigh 17 lbs and are 27 inches long. You are growing by leaps and bounds.

You look at your big sister with such awe and admiration...even when she is being a bit rough with you. You smile through it all. It touches me to tears to witness such love.

You hold your pointer finger in the "one" position and open your palm and then do it again. Mama mimics you and you smile and laugh.

You say "Nananana" when you are upset.

You do this thing where you put your lips together and blow and sound like a high-pitched motor boat.

You have been chewing on your toes lately. When you're on the changing table, you immediately start to chew on your toes and it's impossible to pry your foot out of your mouth, you strong girl, you.

You can sit up on your own! Hooray!

Gosh, are you a vocal little one. You scream! You squeal! I love it so much. I love you so much, my darling Estella.
