Nellie Louise - 6 months old


weighs 13.12 pounds and is in the 11th percentile 
is 26" in length and in the 60th percentile
still just a little peanut of a gal
she now has her two bottom pearly whites
still sleeps next to momma in the co-sleeper
has blessed me with a few decent naps lately
went to her first mardi gras party 
has the sweetest little giggle & is always laughing at her big sis
says "da-da-da-da"
enjoys playing with her baby toys
drools all the time
celebrated her first valentines day
met some of her extended family in Kansas

My sweet Nellie Belly, Nellie Bean, Peanut Pie, Little Bit ... you have so many fun nicknames that we like to call you! I can't believe you've been apart of our family for 6 months, it seems like it's gone by so quickly but at the same time it feels like you've always been with us. You bring so much light to our family sweet girl. Your smile makes my heart melt over and over again and I love how incredibly cuddly you are. You love your momma and you love to nurse and we have such a special bond, I want to hold onto every moment we have because you seem to change a little each day. But as the saying goes, "babies don't keep". Your big sister is head over heels for you and is always so concerned for you. You are the first person she wants to see in the morning and when you cry, she is always informing me of your needs, she says she understands all your baby babels and I am quite certain to some extent she may! She is great at entertaining you and is the best at getting you to laugh and she loves to pick out your clothes and splash with you in the bath. You definitely love you some Daddy time and he adores his precious girl, he is a great "girl dad", so you and your sister and certainly blessed. Happy 6 months to you my precious Nell, we love you so!
