The McCravy Monologues: Six Months

Six Months

It's time for another monthly update on our baby girl. It's hard to believe she's halfway to her first birthday already. At six months old Lucy is truly the best baby ever. She sleeps 12-13 hours every night. She takes 2-3 naps a day, depending on how much we're in the car for the day. When it's nap time, I just put her in the crib with her favorite blanket and she sucks her thumb and goes right to sleep. When she wakes up, she usually plays for about 15 minutes before she even makes a sound for me to come get her. She still nurses every 3-4 hours, but she's also started eating baby food. So far she's tried apples, peaches, sweet potatoes, squash, and green beans and seems to love all of them (we started food a tad earlier with her because she seemed to be begging for it). She rolls everywhere, especially if she sees something she wants. She can sit unassisted for about 2 seconds before falling over, so it looks like that skill is well on it's way. She doesn't have any teeth yet and we all love trying to get a toothless smile out of her. We love our baby Lucy!

Jack is our inquisitive firstborn. At five years old, he’s extremely interested in how things work and will ask a ton of questions until he gets a satisfactory answer. He's an active kid who enjoys running, jumping, and playing outside. However, give him a video game and he would sit and play all day if we let him. Lover of anything "Buzz" these days, he's definitely all boy. But don't let him fool you, he still has fun playing princesses with his sister! He is a great helper and loving big brother and his deep dimples melt our hearts every time he smiles.

Anna is our spunky three year old. She wants to do everything her big brother does, as long as she can do it while wearing a dress. She is Miss Independent most of the time, and certainly has her own sense of style these days. She loves being a helper around the house, and when she's in the mood, she's the best cleaner upper in the family! She enjoys reading books, singing, dancing, coloring, and playing dress up with her brothers. She will always be our baby girl, and has the biggest, sweetest blue eyes we’ve ever seen.

Sam is our stubborn number three. He's a stinker who manages get into EVERYTHING! It's hard to resist that wide smile and mischievous giggle, though, even when he's up to no good. He's a boy on the move and will do anything to keep up with his older siblings. He loves balls, trains, playing outside, and wearing everyone's shoes but his own. Some days he's still our snugly little boy, and that's quite alright with us because that boy with the toothy grin has brought an enormous amount of joy to our family!
