Brooklyn at 6 months. . .

I was doing so well getting the cute month-to-month pictures of Brooklyn in her "Monthly Onesies" but I totally dropped the ball on her 6 month pictures.  I did find some time to take pictures of her in one of her gorgeous dresses that we got from some of our good friends so hopefully those will do :)


What's new with Brookie:

• She's rolling over. . .I was a bit stressed out, but we did meet this milestone. . .wahoo!!
• She's sitting up with only a bit of assistance.  I usually put my boppy pillow behind her just in case she has a tumble, but she's enjoying being able to see the world from a different view.
• Brooklyn has started to get a bit of "stranger anxiety," especially around men and particularly men with facial hair.  She just does NOT like it.  Uncle Josh just recently went a couple weeks without shaving and Brooklyn gave him the total stare-down and started crying when she normally has no trouble going to him. 
• Napping has been going well during the day as long as Brooklyn is at home in her own crib/environment. 
• Brooklyn LIKES her bottle now.  We went in for our 6 month check-up with Dr. Peterman and told him that Brooklyn doesn't take a bottle very well.  He told us not to even bother using a bottle and to start working on a sippy cup with her. . .that way we wouldn't have to break her of the bottle habit later.  I swear as soon as she heard him say those words she decided she'd LOVE to drink from a bottle.  Bottle problem solved!
• Ryan and Brandon are enjoying playing with Brooklyn more now that she interacts with them better.  I still cringe when they try to carry her around the house though.  It pretty much looks like they are giving her a choke-out.

 Awww. . .so sweet!!
