6 months and growing fast

Elizabeth had her 6 month appointment. She weighs 14lbs 15oz and is 26.5 inches long. She grew 1 inch and 1/2 lb in 2 months. She eats 4oz of rice cereal for breakfast, 1 jar of veggies and 1 jar of fruit for lunch and dinner plus she still nurses 5-6 times a day. She is so long that I put her in 12 month pajamas last night and they fit. I will put a picture of her in them. She rolls over and sits up now. She loves to eat Gerber puffs. She has tried mashed potatoes, french fries, yellow cake and eggs. She likes them all. She had to get 2 shots yesterday and she did not cry at all, I was so proud of her. She still sucks her thumb and she loves it so much. She was sleeping throught the night but the past 2 weeks she has been waking up at 4am to nurse. She loves balloons and going for walks in the stroller. She loves to take baths with her sister. Victoria likes to pour water on her and Elizabeth just laughs and laughs. When I am reading her a story she tries to eat the books. Anything that I have within her reach she reaches for it and tries to put it in her mouth. We just love her so much.

Victoria loves to play dress up. I bought her a Snow White outfit and she wears it everywhere including the shoes. It is so cute. She can sing the ABC song. She is growing up to be such a beautiful little girl. She is such a little mommy and it is so cute. She takes care of her sister and helps me with her a lot.

I would not know what I would do without both of my little girls in my life. I am just having the time of my life. We got a year pass to the Zoo and have went twice already in the past month. Victoria just wants to spend hours with the Giraffes. I tell her we have to go but she starts to cry because she does not want to leave them. We are going to Disneyland this fall and the Circus. Victoria talks about Disneyland all the time now that I told her we are going. It will be so much fun.
