Growing Up Fast 3

On the 23rd Mariah will be six months old. Pretty soon she will be running all over the place. She has moved along to number two foods and Tawanna will allow me to give her some juice this week. I hope. She stares at our plates more than she does her own. I think she wants our food, which is why her teeth are coming in now.

Her Pattern

She has a very consistent sleeping pattern for us. When I pick her up from daycare I wash her up and feed her. She takes a brief nap and then hangs out with us for a little bit. She eats again a few hours later and then goes to sleep around 8pm or 9pm. She wakes up again around 1am and goes right back to sleep, sometime after a feeding. She will then stay sleep until around 6am. Sometimes she will sleep through the 1am wake-up call and sleep until 5am. Sometimes she sleeps in her crib, sometimes our room, sometimes in the living room. The temperature normally dictates how well she sleeps.

Here she is playing with toys as I am trying to get her to say Daddy.

Daddy attempt number two.

We are planning to make a trip home sometime within the next month. We are paying close attention to the weather. We will keep everyone posted.

God Bless,

Looks like Daddy?

The family is doing well. Mariah's second tooth is coming in. She sucks on her gums a lot. We have gone out to eat with her twice. Both times she was pretty easy going until she started looking at our plates.


Next week I think we are going to break her into some more foods and introduce her to some juice. Tawanna is keeping me from giving her a bunch of different kinds of foods that I think she is ready for. I am trying to be patient.


Many people have discussed who Mariah looks like. I have always said that it does not matter to me. I see some of myself and Tawanna in her.


Here is a baby picture of me and one of Mariah. You be the judge.


Mariah 5 months

Mariah ready to crawl?

Mariah is getting closer and closer to crawling everyday. She knows how to kick her legs and she has built great arm strength. Pretty soon she will be all over the house. Check her out in the set position in the video below.

God Bless!
