she is six months
how has six months gone by in the blink of an eye? our baby girl is six months old! that seems unreal to me. in one way i think, gosh, it's only been six months...it feels like we've had her forever. and in another i think, wow, six months already? it feels like yesterday we were going in to have her. i remember finding out we were having a girl and thinking what were we in for? we were used to our boys, used to boy ways. how would this little girl fit in? the answer is perfectly. she fits in perfectly. our boys adore her. couldn't love her more. i'm sure they will have their moments with her as she gets older but the look in both of their eyes when she smiles at them is priceless. carson loves being her "biggest" big brother. he's so sweet with her in every way, very gentle, very carson. he loves to introduce her to everyone he meets. "this is my brother, brooks. and THIS is our new baby sister, shelby!" his favorite word to describer her is cute. she's very cute.
brooks i think will be very protective of his baby sister. he tells her everyday how pretty she is and how much we wanted a baby sister. she'll learn some good wrestling moves with him in the future. he loves to hug her just a little bit too tight. she's learning to push him back or yell out. he still struggles with not being the baby anymore and maybe those extra squeezes are payback but for the most part he is very helpful and very caring with her.
at six months our girl is almost sitting on her own. at least enough for a quick photo shoot or two. she's eating all kinds of baby food and will finish just about any bottle put in front of her. she doesn't love to nap but will sleep pretty good in her carseat while were are out and about almost every day. she's gotten so good about putting herself to sleep at night and dare i say it out loud...she's slept all night from 7pm to 8am for the last two nights. go baby girl. i think she could sense how badly i needed my sleep back! she loves to watch mommy play tennis on thursday and would bounce herself silly in her jumpy. all in all, she is a very happy very loving baby.
we have no complaints with this precious gift from God. she is our whole world and we couldn't love her more if we tried. we love you, shelby cooper! happy six months to you!

she had so much fun in this big fluffy dress. (who am i kidding, I had so much fun with her in this big fluffy dress!) she kept trying to eat it.
i could squeeze this face all day long
not gonna take credit for this one. brooks took this picture. he was dying to use my camera and when he said he got a good one i was floored to actually see that it was really good. a little photographer in the making.
costume change. i mean, for real, it's just too much fun!
check out these legs!
don't be talking about my legs, mama.
next up is crawling. i don't think any of us are ready for this little one to crawl but she is raring to go. ready to get into all of her brothers' things.
