Here's a bit more on Gwyn as a 6 mo. old. She is very strong, she is able to pull herself from sitting to standing. When she is in the tub she reaches for the opposite side and can pull herself to a standing position. Last night she was sitting on my lap and pushed off of my knees to stand, this is crazy right?! She can't even push herself up to sit when she falls over. She does a really funny banana position when she tries to sit from a laying position. She'll have great abs! While all this is going on she gets very mad that she can't do it and screams. It is a blood curling scream that echos down the street so all the neighbors knew we are torturing her. The scream has died down a bit which is nice, I don't know where it came from. We got back from Grandma & Grandpa Bozin's and I think she picked it up from them.
She loves her bouncy saucer. It is quite entertaining for Matt and I as well. She jumps and talks and yells while chewing on all the toys. This is usually when she will poop her pants so terribly that it gushes out the top of the diaper and onto whatever she is wearing. Even Diesel won't come near when that occurs which is daily.
We have recently been able to put her in the pack-n-play to play with her toys. We used to put her on the floor with a blanket but she started to roll everywhere, so now she has to be contained. Well she discovered that if she scrapes her nails on the netting it makes a cool noise and that means that she has to try and eat it so Matt and I got a good laugh at her face mushed up against the side. The only thing not funny is that it leaves rug burn on her nose, so she looks like those cartoon kids in the Puffs Plus commercial.
I have just stopped breast feeding a couple weeks ago and Gwyn has become too good at recognizing what the bottle is for. When she sees me making it or coming to her with it she starts to get excited. She makes a "MMMM" noise and if you don't give it to her right away, for instance you are putting her in her crib to nap with it, she gets so mad and yells at you. When she does "finally" get her bottle she makes a sighing noise until she drops it b/c it is still a bit too heavy, she screams bloody murder, for the pleasure of our neighbors. Another things I noticed is that she will blow raspberries at us when she is starting to get mad at us. It will lead into yelling if we don't hold her how she wants to be held or we leave the room she is in. The doctor says she is definitely attached to us.
She has her first cold right now. I thought it only lasted one day, but it seems to be back. She and I woke up with it one morning. I felt so bad for her, she could barely eat and wouldn't take her real food snack. I put a mister in her room overnight and she appeared to be better the next morning. Two days later her stuffy nose was back. She can breathe at least this time, but there is no fever so I haven't taken her in to see the doctor. It will just have to run its course with both of us, actually all 3 of us. So Gwyn and I have been taking lots of naps this week.
