Foisy Family: 6 Months Old

Lots changing with Zola as she passes the six month mark. One thing, however, that hasn't changed is how much she smiles. She smiles all the time, and her smile is the most beautiful smile in the world. It's also very easy to get her into laughing fits by tickling her.

One downside lately is that she is sick all the time. She's had a cold for I believe three weeks now. It all begin the day after she started daycare, and it hasn't gone away. There's always snot running out of her nose, and she's coughing frequently. I guess it's good in a way to get her exposed to some germs.

Exciting news! Her first tooth is beginning to poke through! It's in the front on the bottom side. Likely related to this, there has been extra drool lately, and also more frequent bowel movements.

Also some breaking news: as of this morning, she has begun saying "ba, ba, ba" continuously. She had done hints of this before, but now it's much more frequent. She has also been trying to say things such as "I love you". She hasn't said it super clearly yet, but she is getting close.

Zola is still getting the hang of crawling. She has no problem continuously rolling over and scooting backwards, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of going forward. She's getting up on her knees and lunging forward briefly, but not doing the full crawling motion. I dreamt last night that she was crawling, so that must mean it will happen soon. In the last two weeks, Zola has mastered sitting upright. As long as she isn't drowsy, she can sit upright for long periods of time without falling over.

There still isn't much hair on Zola. She probably won't have much hair until two or three years old. The lack of hair makes things confusing for some people because they don't know if she's a boy or girl. Heck, even when we dress her in pink, people say "What a cute little boy!". She also is still quite large for her age. Even though she's six months, most of the things she wears are 9-12 months or 12-18 months.

Here are a few pics from this month. Sorry, we haven't been as frequent in taking pictures. We definitely need to pick things up.
