mid year review

a six-a-month baby! so what’s the latest scoop on baby afton?

well, first off, i’m not going to report that she sleeps through the night, because the constant droopiness of my eyes indicates that she surely doesn’t. however, she does sleep for a six or seven hour stretch, which is good enough for now.

so far, no teeth. and no eating solids. she spits out everything we’ve given her. what can i say? i guess my breast milk is pretty phenomenal; nothing else will do.

“tone tone” has taken over as afton’s newest nickname, totally dominating all others because summer has really picked up on it and runs through the house screaming “TONE!” if she doesn’t know where baby afton is.

afton’s latest hobbies include her constant chattering –often serenading us with midnight renditions of BAAA BAAA BBBB – and grabbing everything in sight. she’s pretty vicious with that grab, too, knocking over mug trees and pulling out hair and all that. our little lamb is very strong. and tall. she’s nearly outgrown this round of clothes (it’s only been a month!)

but afton’s number one favorite pastime hands down is spending time with sister summer. these two are inseparable love bugs.

afton is still the smiliest baby that there ever was and lights up every room she enters – not to mention enchants everyone she meets. she has a fairly easy going personality (what a relief!) but can definitely crack the whip when she wants to. and by “crack the whip” i mean scream for an hour and a half until she gets what she wants. yup, she can be just as willful (and loud) as the rest of bryan’s girls. lucky him.

and lucky us for our baby girl bright. i think we’ll keep her.
