Mollie at 6 months

Wow...six months...to say it's been a whirlwind would be an understatement! But boy do we LOVE our Mollie Gage!! What a sweet gift from the Lord.

I took her for her check-up today. Praise God for a great report...healthy little girl from head to toe : ) She weighs 15lb 13 oz and is 27 1/4 in. (50% for weight and 93% for height!?!)

Mollie is a sweet little baby, generally very content. She loves people and especially loves her brothers and big sister. They always want to play with her, and everyday Kate and Carter both ask to hold her. Hudson asks occasionally, but mostly just loves to smile at and laugh with her. He still will not say Mollie, but calls her "Bebe".

She's sleeping pretty good. Right now we're transitioning her into her crib in Kate's room. Hoping to stretch her from waking up at 5am to waking up at 7am with the rest of the kiddos! She's not a fan of baby food. We've been trying to give her baby cereal for about 3 weeks now, and she just about spits every bit of it out. We've mixed in baby fruits, tried both rice and oatmeal, even tried just plain baby fruits and she still wants no part of it. The Dr. said today to just keep trying, so that's what we'll do.

Here's some pics of our doll-baby...so big sitting up!!!

She's not quite steady yet...so, when she gets a little too excited, she tips over...

But being on her back is not so bad....that way she can reach her #1 toy...her feet!

Can you see what Mollie's doing here?! Pushing up on all-fours!? Who is this kid? She's been doing this off and on for the last week or so. But today, even a couple hours after I took this picture, she had done it again, except this time had pulled her knees up under her and was ROCKING!?! She's gonna crawl soon, which will be the earliest of any of ours, by far. This mama is not really ready for all that yet. Crazy.

Sweetness.
