Hard to believe The Bean will be six months old on the day after Christmas. Six months has just flown by, though I admit at times I thought I was going to lose my mind. She’s been sick with a bad cough all week, a fever off and on, and hasn’t been eating or sleeping normally, but even through all of that I’ve found myself thinking about whether we should have another one! If I can seriously consider that, then I guess motherhood hasn’t scarred me too badly.

We set up her Jumperoo (early Christmas present) yesterday and she has spent some happy hours bouncing around in it. Between that and her activity saucer, she’s spending more and more time entertaining herself. She can almost sit up by herself now and rolls enthusiastically from side to side, though she hasn’t quite gotten to the point of rolling onto her tummy. Her babbling has taken on a very speech-like quality, and just today, she said to me:

Ahhh ya ya ya buh! Na na na na blooooo.

I don’t know what that means yet, but I’m working on it.
