skubby

 

what's a *skubby* you might ask? well, it's lucy's head. brian coined this term one day when he remarked that she has such a chubby skull. hahahaha...so, now...lulu's cranium is referred to as a *skubby* - one pretty darn sweet skubby i might add.

on the 29th, the bean was 6 months old - we're halfway to her first birthday. what? this past week she also started sitting up on her own (hopefully you can tell that in the pics); she can hold the position solo pretty well but most often looks like a little tripod w/ both fists in b/w her knees balancing. she's also grown into some pretty mad vocal skills...this past w/e it sounded like she was jabbering away in conversation w/ my mom. she still loves to play w/ her toes & often falls to her side when she's on her back & reaching for her toes - but she's still not rolling back to front; each time she falls to the side when reaching for her toes she quickly jerks her feet & legs back down to keep from going over! we cannot leave a thing w/in her reach or it will wind up in her mouth or the floor.

today she was sitting @ the diner play table w/ garrett & knocking everything off (which G gets in trouble for doing) - he just looked @ me to see what my reaction was going to be towards lucy - of course, i tried to explain that she's a baby, she doesn't know. in reality, he seemed to accept it & would just run around her seat picking the things back up & putting them on the table for her to knock off again. guess he figured if he couldn't get away w/ it, somebody might as well!

we go next week for her 6 month check but i had her @ the dr last week for her tummy troubles & her weight is up to 16.5 pounds! don't know about length & the rest. i've had to go up a size in diapers during the day & @ night b/c they weren't exactly fitting around her thighs anymore. ;-)

this past month garrett has also FINALLY mastered saying "lucy" and not "woo wheese" (sounded like a scary way of saying louise) - hahahaha! when she shrieks loudly he'll look @ me & say, "baby scker me!" he's great about going to see what she's doing & will walk up to her & say, "oh lucy bean!"

the days just continue to become more fun w/ her little personality emerging...her laughter & smiles are just infectious!
