Happy 6 Month Birthday!!!

I cannot believe that Belle is already 6 months old. Time is truly FLYING by. She is changing every day and we love watching her personality develop. This is a week late because I wanted to wait for her doctor's appointment to post her new stats. She is rolling all over creation and scooting backwards on her tummy. She can conquer surprising distances in little amount of time. She pulls her knees underneath her in order to crawl but cannot really muster the strength to get anywhere at this time. We aren't sitting up without support yet, and this was a big concern of mine. The doctor confirmed today that she is just so little and petite that she really doesn't have a good balance or strength to accomplish this now. She is loving rice cereal and has started squash. Her face is hilarious after she swallows the squash. We have found ourselves in the swing of teething and separation anxiety. Fun stuff!! I cannot wait till the day I find a tooth in that sweet mouth. Mark and I fall more in love with her everyday, and are immensely blessed to be her parents.
The Stats:
12 pounds 6 ounces (5th percentile)
25 inches (25th percentile)
Sweet baby girl with her daddy and birthday cake! Her Gran bought her a cake with her name on it.
Not too fond of her birthday hat.
Love those gorgeous baby blues!

They did notice that Belle has a hip "click" at this appointment. We are going to have an ultrasound done to make sure there is nothing else going on. We are praying fervently that is completely normal and we ask you to pray with us. I will keep you all updated on the day that we go for the ultrasound.

Such a pretty girl! I can understand why she didn't like the hat...it took the place of her stylish bow! Very much my niece - I'm proud. We'll be praying with you for your sweet girl.
