Personalities

I absolutely love this time in a baby's life. We are reaching the 6 month mark for my Little Miss, and she is becoming very independent. She's been able to sit up by herself for about a month now, and she's finally on her hands and knees attempting the crawl. 

This is usually the time you see their personalities come about. Wide eyes filled with curiosity at the world around them. Things are almost in reach. By now, she has figured out that if she leans and reaches far enough, she can get whatever she wants. I try to give her toys that can't roll away too far, because she gets very frustrated with them. But it is imperative, and fun, to watch babies go for the toys. It helps get them moving!  

Little Miss loves to eat everything. I am kind of worried about that. My first snug bug didn't care much about shoving any sort of anything into his mouth. He is more interested in how things work. He likes to take things apart and put them back together. He's very smart. Of course, I end up with more broken things, but I make sure he only plays with things that I can fix, and don't have small parts. Again, I'm not worried about small parts with Snug Bug, but if he drops something, I know Little Miss will eat it!

She. eats. everything.

It is her way of figuring out the world. It is common, I know that. My younger sister was the same way. She would eat everything from rocks to grass, from hair to actually biting people (well, gumming). So I am concerned that she will find something small and try to eat it and choke. But luckily, we already have our house child-proofed for her age. The wonders of having children closer in age!

Another fun aspect into Little Miss' personality is the bashfulness. She loves to smile at people, and when people smile back at her (because she's too cute to resist), she will partially hide her face, hang her head, and bat her eyes. She's a little flirt! Daddy is going to have to beat the boys away with a bat! It is very adorable.

Little Miss also gets very angry. She will yell at you if you are not giving her attention or if Snug Bug takes away something she is playing with. She gets horrendously jealous. She doesn't cry at you, she yells and babbles. And if she is really angry, she'll start to blow raspberries. That also goes to the other extreme. If she is very happy, she will blow raspberries. 

Have you looked at your baby and seen peeks of their personality? Take note of it if you can! 

What other things are you doing to document the beginning of your little one's life?

Have a Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I will be back with news about Snug Bug's 2nd birthday party!
