Raiah is almost half a year old! I can't believe how fast she's growing. She's already developing a hilarious personality. Some things that she's doing by today are:
- She sleeps through the night and still takes at least 3 naps during the day. it's wonderful!
- Chews INTENSELY on everything and especially loves hands. Sometimes she'll turn away when I'm nursing her just to chew on her hand (or mine). She can be 3 feet away from someone's hand and she still opens her mouth wide to try to attack it from far away. It's pretty funny.
- She's been saying DADADADADADADA for a few weeks now. She says it in times of happy/cooy-ness, boredom, anger, frustration, etc. but when she notices one of us leaving the room, she'll use it like a name, calling out to us. I know, you're thinking she's way too young to do that but SHE DOES! Scott was playing with her and left the room for a minute and she started saying "da da da da da" and when he didn't come back she started screaming "DAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!" like a freakin teenager!!! (ok, maybe she doesn't know what she's saying but we like to think she's way advanced)
- Rolls all over the place. There's no need to even put a blanket on the floor for her because she'll roll off of it right away.
- She's a very happy baby. She wakes up smiling (and almost upside down) every day. mornings are her favorite time of the day. She's cranky at night tho. She warms up to people very fast and as long as we're close by, let's anyone hold her and smiles at them. If you let her chew on your hand, she'll fall in love with you!
- She usually falls asleep with a blanket pulled over her face. If she doesn't have a blanket, she'll pull her bib over her face.

- She's still going bald and we find her fine little hairs all over the place!
- She LOVES when we sing to her. it can calm the biggest freakouts like magic. it's a good thing she doesn't judge my horrible singing voice.
- She used to HATE taking baths but the last 2 times she's been calm. The look on her face is still unsure and questioning like she'll freak out at any moment. She definitely doesn't enjoy it yet, but we're making progress.
- She loves to taste the wind. If we're outside and it's windy or even if you just blow in her face, she'll stick out her tongue.

- She's very interested in our food and expects the food to go in her mouth instead of ours. We gotta start her on solids next week.
