Six Months Old!

Seriously?  A whole half-year out of the womb?  Not possible!  This little cutie of ours has been quite the world traveler lately.  She's been to Michigan, Chicago, and Texas all in the past few weeks.  Thankfully, she's great in both a car and plane.  Binkys and puffs help.  We tried to eliminate the binky habit (mainly for Carrigan's sake--she just can't resist those tempting things) but desperate times call for desperate measures. 

Laney's been an overall good sleeper, but ever since our final days in Texas she's been up a few times during the night.  Ugh.  She is also a little crabby falling asleep for naps and bedtime which leads us to believe a tooth or two may be on the way.  That hasn't affected her eating at all.  In fact, the riverboat tour guide in San Antonio stated that she looked like she "hadn't missed a meal!".  (Have you ever known a Ward to miss a meal?)

She's certainly still a sweet girl even when she scoots herself on her tummy further in this house than we could have imagine.  We love how she shakes her hands and feet when she's excited whether that's about a swimming pool, her stuffed animals, or just another round of rice cereal.  Her laughs are contagious and even her hair-pulling charms us.  Love, love, love her.
