6 months old!

Oh my word. This is a couple weeks late, but I was trying to wait till her doctor's appointment tomorrow so I could post stats. I also wanted to share some of her 6 month pictures. However, they are not finished either. Anyways. Izzie is getting so big. She is sitting all by herself. When she sits, she is now leaning over her tummy and putting her hand on the floor trying to move forward (crawl). Most of the time she just ends up laying on her tummy instead. She is so close. We have not been feeding her a lot of baby food. Izzie likes breast milk a lot more. We have tried sweet potatoes and green beans though a couple times. She eats them and opens her mouth wide for the spoon. We, Todd and I, are thinking about weaning her from the breast (yes this is a joint decision for a few reasons). I think we are going to wait a little bit longer though. It is going to be a very tough process, one that only other exclusive breastfeeding moms could understand. She is attached to my hip and will probably be a very angry little girl when that day comes. Izzie enjoys playing with her "ruff ruffs" (puppies) more than anything else. Whenever she is upset all we have to do is call her "ruff ruffs" in the room and she is all smiles. Izzie is still reaching and putting anything she can get in her mouth. You have to keep a close eye on her.. you never know what she can get her hands on. She is officially wearing only 9 month sized clothing. I need to clean her closet out from all the 6 month items. Her hair is growing at a steady pace. It's still not long enough for ribbons alone. She has to use her headbands still.

I could ramble on and on. I think I hit all the high points. Blogging is tough lately. Our family is so busy. We are trying to sell our house still. We have had a few contracts put through, but they all seem to fall through for different reasons. The Kirkland family needs more space! We are currently trying to workout a deal with a builder and will hopefully know something soon. Unfortunately, this does not look good either. Anyways, hopefully our lives will slow down soon so we can document more of Miss Izzie's happenings. We shall see. I will post pictures and stats later. :)
