My sweet baby girl is 6 months old. You are growing up so fast and I can't believe how much you've changed, even in the past two weeks. We've enjoyed the summer and making memories with you. For your first 4th of July, you were able to meet some of your cousins for the first time and then we went to Stillwater. Walking around OSU's campus with you was so special. Later, we spent time with the Corbins and finally watched fireworks with Ryan, Amanda, Brenton, Rylee, Piper and Grandpa Sewell. You loved watching them and only got startled one time with a really loud one. 

We also went to a Tulsa Drillers baseball game and you slept through most of the game, but we had a good time. When we first got to the park, I took you out of your car seat to see if you needed a diaper change. One minute later, you and I were both covered in poop. I had a change of clothes for you, but nothing for me. I now own a really cute Drillers t-shirt, so thanks for that. It's always an adventure with you and I love it. You keep things interesting and keep me on my toes. 

You've tried all sorts of foods and so far you love everything except peas. You are still unsure about those, but we'll keep trying. 

We found that you love to be active. You like jumping in your jumpy jump toy, swinging and swimming. You are pretty much always on the move. This makes changing your diaper or your clothes very difficult.  

Your hair is now long enough to put into two pigtails. It is so curly and beautiful. I love it and hope you will embrace it later in life as well. 

I love your little personality and watching it develop. You are still a happy and content baby. There are these moments when you smile that big gummy grin and look up at me and I just melt. I love how you are so genuine and pure with your emotions - when you're happy, your entire face lights up and there's no denying it. It's one of my favorite qualities you have right now.

Thanks for another month of fun you little thing. I adore you.
