Happy 1/2 birthday, Waverly!

A half a year. I just can not believe it. This past month has brought a lot of developmental milestones for Wave.  She can now sit unassisted, she enjoys oatmeal and a variety of vegetables, rolls (somewhat - she's lazy) and is very very vocal.  Like mother, like daughter - Bri is in trouble for sure.  

Sleep has been hit or miss. I just don't understand that part of this girls make up - she'll sleep like a rock and for long stretches for a few weeks and then in a blink of an eye, she's up every 2-3 hours for nights on end.  I would chalk it up to growth spurts but she's not that big.   The only connection I can find is that when the weather is cooler and we run the heat it interrupts her sleep because 1., her hands are freezing and 2. the heat coming on in random intervals wakes her up. I've given up the swaddle this week. I know that's part of our issue as she transitions to just the sleep sack, but I'm hoping it helps in the long run. I know there is a pretty serious 6 mo growth spurt - I'm hoping we're past that. Oh and we're teething. I still can't see any buds but I know what's going on.

We're looking forward to this month.  We're going to get back on schedule from the crazy holidays and then spend the first week of Feb relaxing as a family of four on the Big Island.  My last hurrah before returning to the working world.  Flickr has great new app and because of it I'm doing really well not missing a day of the 365 project.  ok ok - so we're only 9 days in, but still.  Even more awesome, I've got some companions on this year long journey.  My good friend Maura is joining in with her beautiful newborn, Margo and my cousin Dana is also doing the same for Gianna (2 months younger than Wave).  It will be so fun to see these girls change throughout 2013.
