Six Months of Loving Victoria

Victoria LOVES Klamata Olives... one of the only things I could eat that would stop my morning sickness with her. She also really likes liver pate, not sure where that came from, but I'm glad she's getting her iron. Not going to fight that!
 

We are slowly cutting out co-sleeping, which I am comflicted about. I am happy I get some me time, but one of the best things is watching her wake up, take a look around and then giving you a HUGE smile, because it's like that that's exactly where she wants to be.


We are SO lucky to be living so much closer to family now that we've moved. I didn't realize it before, but we really needed it. Almost desperately.


I hope that you don't have anything really terrible happen to you in your life, but I hope you have serious challenges that you need to learn how to overcome and rise above.


Bathtime is one of my our favourite times in the day. Little Miss laughs and smiles SO much during our baths. She loves to relax and lay back in the deep water while she rests her little (and growing) feet on my belly while I hold her under her armpits and support her head and neck so she doesn't tip back so far.


We've started using Burt's Bees products. The Baby Bee bubble bath and the Baby Bee lotion smells AMAZING! I really like that it's 98%-99% natural, tear free, not tested on animals and that the bottles are mostly from recycled materials.

 
She took her very first photo this month. (With some assistance, but I was surprised to see that I got in there. I fully expected it to be a full on picture of the ceiling.)


And she took her very first selfie, too! (Again, with some assistance.)


I am SO choked up (and unbelievably proud) that she will be 7 months old tomorrow... and shortly after, eek! Let's not go there!
