Six Months!!

Here we are, six months after the cutest baby in the world was born.  She lights up the world in her own special way and makes her mommy and daddy proud every day.
Six months is a big milestone for any one, but especially for my baby girl.  It was six months ago that a 4 pound, 2 ounce baby came into the world and captured the heart of any one and every one that saw her.  It was six months ago that they took that baby and kept her in the "Special Care" part of the nursery because she was so small.  It was six months ago that they told me her tummy wasn't working right and that they thought it best to send her to Kosair Children's Hospital to make sure everything was ok.  It was six months ago (this week) that she started her week and a half stay learning how to eat and sleep on schedule.  In these past six months, she has never stopped growing and learning.  Here we are six months later and we have a baby that you would never have guessed was premature.  She is the size of the average six month old and maybe a little bigger.  She has learned that her voice is powerful and that she can squeal at the top of her lungs and it makes her happy.  She has learned that her puppies love her and are always available to give her kisses.  She thinks they are hilarious and they think she is fabulous, too.  She sleeps well through the night and is learning to eat solids.  She is eating cereal like a pro and is starting on some vegetables and will be moving on to fruit in a few weeks.
  She's working on rolling over.  She hates being on her belly but would rather complain than do anything about it.  When on her back, she finds toys very interesting and will pretty much have her whole body rolled over, but can't get her arm out from under her.  The day after she turned 6 months, she learned to sit up for longer than half a second.  She can sit up in a high chair at a restaurant like she's been doing it forever.  She's so smart and learning so much so fast.
I am amazed at my baby girl.  Adrianna is one blessing I can't thank God enough for.  He continues to bless us over and over and I'm excited to see what He has in store next.
