Hooray! Matilda is 6 months today!

I can't believe half a year has gone by since Matilda came into our lives. I love her more and more each day and can't wait for the next six months and beyond. She celebrated last night by waking up every hour. Today has been full of naps and cranky episodes. Some exciting things happened this week, which may be causing the sleeplessness. Her second tooth is arriving. I can see it through the gums, and I think I might have felt it just a few minutes ago. This one is much different than the first. No drool or runny nose...however that may be to come. Also this week she has made it onto her side from her back and a few times she has actually rolled onto her tummy, but her arm is still pinned underneath her. Apparently that does not count as a full roll. She should be there in a few days. She hates being on her tummy so I'm sure when she does master it, she won't spend too long looking around. She was on her tummy the other night and I noticed her lifting up her legs and pushing them out, trying to scoot. Won't be long before she is crawling! She has also started using her lovely orange Stokke highchair. She is sitting up in it big and tall and loves to eat her cereal in it.

Tonight is my Papa's fourth annual Christmas party. Sadly Matilda won't be there as it starts at her bedtime. Papa is staying home with her so I can go up and help my mom. He is expecting 35 of his friends! We will all be there for sure next year.

Must figure out how to add pictures...weekend project for Bart.
