Reyen at 6 & 7 months

6 months
This little girl is growing up so fast. I am loving this age. She is not totally mobile yet and I am counting my lucky stars. I wouldn't mind if she didn't crawl until 12 months but she is already on her way. Reyen turned 6 months old on Christmas Eve. She loved watching the kids and seeing all the excitement.

Reyen has started moving so much this month. She sits up perfectly and just after her 6 month checkup started rolling over. The week she turned 6 months we started foods. We started with cereal and was not loving it. She caught on really fast and by the end of the week was a pro at eating. She loves food. So far Reyen has tried peas, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. She loves it all although her body doesn't. She has had some problems with constipation and we are constantly battling it.

Reyen has been getting a lot of playtime with her siblings.They often fight over who gets to play with her. The cute thing is Rylan put a little play area in their room just for Reyen. Kaden and Rylan are often the ones who like to play with her.

Reyen loves music. She starts moving her arms when she hears it. She like to play the piano with Elsie and watches her hands move. 

7 months

This is Reyen getting herself into a corner. She moves across the room backwards.

Under the couch isn't so fun when you hit your head and can't get out.

Here is dad and Reyen hanging out. They were playing a game of pinching. Reyen kept trying to get Mike's fingers.

Reyen is in love with dad.  Whenever he is in the room she is constantly watching him. 

We got a picture of Reyen in her pretty dress from aunt Mary. It is so cute.

Playtime with Reyen.

Brent and Spinney came over for Elsie's birthday. Reyen was very shy. Every time Brent would look at her she would cry or turn her face away from him. It was almost automatic. He really wanted to hold her so I let him feed Reyen her bottle. She did fine with him but the minute he sat her up to burp she started crying. It may take a few more visits for her to get use to him. 

Cousins came over for dinner one Sunday and Reyen got to play with them.

Domino effect...

Happy Reyen. She is such a happy baby and puts up with so much from her brothers and sister. Even when she doesn't get the sleep she needs or that mom thinks she needs, Reyen is happy. She is growing so much and on the verge of crawling. At her 6 month checkup Reyen weighed 15 lbs. Formula has helped her grow and I am so grateful she is happy and healthy. She isn't sticking everything in her mouth, which I just love. I wish I could freeze time and enjoy this a little longer.
