Annie Bananie turns 6 months

Oh my sweetest of sweethearts!  Our little Ace truly is incredible and oh so loved.  She turned 6 months on the 14th and I just can't even believe it.  Our lives are blessed beyond understanding with this little doll.  She is happy, spunky, lively and such a good sleeper.

This was taken the day she turned 6 months.  Just chillin in the pool

She loves to sleep on her stomach and this picture is my favorite cause of all the pink!

Those thigh rolls through the white pants.  I can't even!

We started her on solids and she is a fan!  Mark fed her the first bite off a silver spoon that her Aunt Rae gave her and then the boys help feed her as well.  It is tradition that they get to feed her the first solids.  Seeing her in the high chair was a bit emotional for me.  Why does time move so fast with littles?

She went to her 6 month appointment with Mark (I was sick) and did great with the shots.  Not much really gets to her.  She has been a bit sick but other than a runny nose and slight cough, you wouldn't know it.  She is so agreeable and is so easy.  She weighs 15 pounds 13 ounces, is 26 inches long and her head is 17 inches.  She is rolling all over the place to get where she wants to go and is pretty proud of herself.  I feel like she is close to sitting up and does for a few seconds at a time but isn't quite there yet.  She will play with anything she can grab, including her toes.  She is very vocal in a happy way and we love to hear her voice.  Oftentimes she just growls and it is hilarious!!  I hope she never stops.

Talking to herself in her crib at night

Most days she just waits and plays until we get to her and is so patient.  She still likes to suck on toys or blankets to fall asleep and enjoys playing with and sucking on anything put in front of her.  She likes to be sung to and talked to and giggles and smiles with her entire body when you say her name.  Her eyes light up and are the most beautiful brown eyes ever...that is what people always comment on with they see her.

Luke wanted her to hide so he surrounded her with pillows...she didn't seem to mind

The boys adore her (that is the understatement of the year) and love showing her new toys.  They get as excited about the milestones as Mark and I do.

Showing her a new toy.  I am so glad she has these big brothers to protect her and love her

Fullback cannot hold ACE without giggling almost the entire time

 I am blessed

 Daddy kisses!

 After a long Sunday of church meetings, this is Mark's favorite thing to come home to...and she looks pretty pleased as well

 Mommy-daughter selfie.  But I guess something other than the phone was more interesting to look at

Sometimes I find quiet moments to read...and then I look up and get distracted by that beautiful face

I see a similarity here....you?

Reading to little sister

She LOVES food

"Hey...what are you looking at?"
