Blakely 6 Months

SO MUCH HAS CHANGED!

Mobility is a blessing to a baby {and parents}  ever since we found the right foods (no bananas) and Blakely has been able to sit up, she has been so much better.  She poops on her own (I was having to use a Q-Tip) and burps on her own.  Ryan and I both get lost when holding blakely…we could just hold, play and snuggle her for hours.  We normally get about an hour with her after the boys go to bed. Her personality has been blossoming since she has been less fussy, she is very playful, likes to be tossed and tickled.  She likes silly noises and look at whoever is holding her and grab their face {and rip into their flesh with her razor talons}  The boys just LOVE her…I don't understand it…Riley hated Tate…but Her loves Blakely and Tate loves her too.  Occasionally Tate gets a jealous bone when I hold Blakely.  She is a good eater…good sleeper and really tolerates all the chaos and loud noises of the house.  She just got her 2 bottom teeth this week, which she handled quite well, just a couple fussy moments.  Here are some more B facts:
