at six months you have 2 new bottom teeth.  you are basically a pro at sitting.   you will do everything you can to get the television remote control.  this includes scooting like crazy.   you are a go getter for sure!  you love jumping.  we recently got you a johnny jumper and you are quite the performer in it.   you still are a great nurser …even in the night 😉  you got your ears pierced hopefully for the first and  last  time 😉 .  you recently started panting like a dog when you get excited over seeing something.  jack gets a kick out of that.   you start to giggle when others do.  you love the boys company and already love watching them play upstairs.   daddy and i are constantly asking each other

“isn’t she the best?”

never a dull moment. at. all.

i seriously love this vocation.  the highs and the lows and the times i just need to escape for a bit.

and we also snuck in some ear piercing!   oh anna kate,  that was by far the saddest cry i have ever heard from you,  but it also ended quickly as granny gave you your first sucker. 🙂

that night we celebrated gramps’ birthday { a few days late } 🙂
