Growing up.

It seems the turning point of 6 months is quite a milestone. Between Sofia's first fever, cough, and also starting to sit up more!! She's been also realizing how to push buttons and adverse... cry, whine, and see if she can get what she wants! It's definitely fun and a challenge at the same time as mommy and daddy trying to figure out what she wants and also if she should get it... like being picked up/ held all the time. :p

Today was a big day as well.  Yesterday the helper Rowena changed your sheets in the crib. They're the dwell ones now. so very girlie, and pretty.  So today mommy decided to put them to use.  At 2:30pm you started to look tired, so at 2:40, into the crib you go! and the tears and crying started... and kept going... it's tough, for mommy, but i know it's best for you, and for our little family-- so that you get used to sleeping in your own crib, in your own room... i'm sure daddy will be thrilled too. haha.  maybe he'll be the most thrilled. :p  The books say that I need to let you cry- and so you can figure out how to self soothe. I cannot pick you up, but can talk to you, etc.  So i let you cry, and cry, and give you a pacifier, and that seemed to help but then the crying persists... i'm glad you don't like the pacifier actually. better. :)  But at 3:10, i put my head on your chest and "shhhh" and it seems to help calm you down. by 3:26pm you're sleeping in your crib. :) i'm sure you're tired; you're definitely sweaty and hot! You've also managed to move completely in the opposite direction- from your head towards the wall to ending up towards the door! But, what a big step... Mommy is so proud of you.  Mommy is letting you cry, but it's for the best. I promise to always be here for you Sofia...

have a good afternoon nap little angel.
