Tilley Grey is 6m!!!

Tilley Grey is 6m old and I can't believe she is half way to her first birthday!!!

At 6m Tilley:


*Loves to laugh
*Likes to roll over...particularly from back to tummy which is odd since she hadn't been too fond of tummy time until recently
*Still refuses a bottle
*Eats her weight in food daily...or so it seems.  Seriously I am sometimes concerned about the child exploding with the amount of food she takes in
*Despite early training to be a competitive eater she is still a little peanut.  At her 5m appt (which was really at 5 1/2m) she was only 11.4 lbs.  The doctor was happy that she was gaining but still wanted to see more so I have added avocados (fatty food) to her diet and thin out her homemade baby food with formula instead of water (formula=calories water=no calories).
*Seems to rediscover her hands daily and looks at them as if to say "oh my goodness where did these come from...they are awesome!"
*Is attempting to sit while holding on to a toy but is very easy to topple over. 
*Is getting better at riding in a car...Dear Lord, Thank you for answered prayers.  Amen.
*Loves to grap a hold of your hair and pull as hard as she can...she is surprisingly strong
*Wants to eat big people food.  If she is on your lap while you are eating you better guard your plate.
*Has a knack for peeing in the midst of a diaper change.  This is a daily occurrence...  It is absolutely uncanny how often she does this.  I even put a fresh diaper right underneath the old but by virtue of changing her diaper there is a split second where the new diaper is not fully attached and in the split second she pees.  This is particularly fun when she wakes up in the middle of the night to be fed and then ends up with a wardrobe change. 
*Still not sleeping through the night...

I dare to say it but I think she is starting to get a bit easier or maybe I am just getting used to having a very high maintenance baby.  Either way I love her to absolute little itty bitty baby pieces and can't get enough of her.  Her smile and laugh are absolutely contagious making every single sleepless night worth it :)  Although if she would cut it out on the sleepless nights you would definitely not hear me complaining...
