six months old

thea started babbling in multi syllables this month - lots of babas, dadas, wawas with a mama or two thrown in for good measure - which is so much fun to hear. she's been making a lot of girly noises lately, squeals and giggles, which are her dad's favorite and pretty much the cutest sounds i've ever heard. she loves to laugh, jump!, swing at the playground, go for long walks in the bjorn and generally is always up for a good time. [that last sentence sounds like it could be from her eHarmony profile.]

i can't believe she's half a year old today [or point five as zack likes to say]. just one of many small milestones but it feels really amazing to see her thriving and growing more and more into her own person each day. it's becoming abundantly clear that said little person has a lot of energy. and likes to move. like ALL THE TIME.
