We look back at photos from just a few months ago, and we think, “Wow, is that our Ada? She was so tiny!”
“Seriously, guys?” she says, “That was me?”
There’s something about a six-month benchmark that feels significant, like the next stage of her life has already arrived. The first six months of life with our teeny newborn and sweet infant have been such a joy, and now we’re feeling like Ada is a full-fledged baby. Here’s a bit of the latest…
Chewing on our toes: we don’t call her swami for nothing.
Discovering new toys. In particular, we spend our days loving up the blind pulls.
(Bonus: she’s also helping Mama and Daddy discover all the places and things that will need to be baby-proofed. Oy vey!)
Watching the Olympics with mama, then deciding that the iPhone is far more interesting.
Flirting with independent mobility…
(but no crawing yet!)
Cruising in her stroller for early-morning walks to the latte shop.
Specifically asks for a pain au chocolat every time, but never gets one. Not cool, Mama.
New sounds! In addition to her repertoire of spitting and blowing raspberries, we’ve now got some high-pitched, very loud baby monkey squeals (yet to be captured on recording, sorry!) and a particular fondness for gargling.
