Hayley Ann Mae: Six Months

Half a year old! Say it isn't so! I was hoping that, being our last, time would slow a tad, but it has not, so here we are with a 6 month old already!
Hayley is just pure joy to be around! There is no other way to describe her. She is happy 99.9% of the time, and flashes a smile for anyone who looks her way. The newest thing she has learnt is to give hugs and kisses and it is my favorite thing ever! First she grabs my hair at the bottom of my neck with both hands, then lunges towards my face with her mouth wide open and eats (kisses) me. It is the most adorable thing ever and she gets so excited when she does it.
She is thoroughly enjoying food and is up to two meals a day. Over the next month we will be introducing pieces of food and weaning off of purees.
Even though we call her Lady Hayley, she is absolutely the least ladylike of all our children. Spit ups are multiple times a day, she needs a bath after almost every meal and I've lost track of the number of diaper explosions...good things she's super cute!
The first 6 months with Hayley have been nothing short of amazing and we can't wait to see all she does in the second part of her first year!

Stats: weight 17lbs 1oz (72%) height 26.25 inches (72%)
