E is Six Months Old!!!

Wow, who can believe half a year has already passed! I really think I'm starting to figure this whole motherhood thing out. E has learned a lot, but she's also taught me a lot.

1. Babies give the worst "purple nurples" of anyone. Cut the nails.
2. Eating solid food means less pumping/breastfeeding.
3. Eating solid food also means the cute poopy diapers of breastfeeders is replaced with rotten dingleberries that smell like death.
4. Sitting up for the first time is good.... until the falling-over for the first time.
5. Playtime encompasses many more activities now than it did at three months!
6. Teething means even more drool than I ever thought possible. I have to pack at least 5 bibs for every outing of one hour or more.
7. Babies do not have "allergies" - or at least, it can't be detected until after one year. If she has a snotty nose, it's because she has contracted some vile illness from the cesspool they call daycare.
8. Babies suck on everything. This includes (but is not limited to) bottles, pacifiers, boobies, fingers, toes, stuffed animals, blankets, car keys, plants, real animals (if they get close enough), and germ-infested toys from daycare.
9. Although she thinks it's hilarious, do not let E stick her hands in your mouth or you will get sick (see number 8).
10. She is, despite any disgusting diapers, vomit, drool, infestation of disease, anger, tears, or sneezing directly in your face, the CUTEST little thing ever.

Next is baby-proofing the house in anticipation of pending independent mobility. She has not yet decided to crawl anywhere, but she watches us with those eyes that seem to say, "I'm waiting for you to look the other way, and when you look back, I'll be halfway down the street." I'm SO looking forward to that.

I enjoyed reading your ENTIRE blog. I too am going to be one of those pregnant dummies. I'm a year into my marriage and I know the day will be approaching someday in the near future. I will probably read your ENTIRE blog over again! Good luck with everything...your daughter is beautiful!
