Sweetie is a good word to describe Evelynn at 6 months, that and a little toot, wiggle worm, squeeler, fireball. I tell you, that girl is going to be a handful once she figures out how to get moving. Just to give example, the other day I sat Evelynn on the floor in Silas's room while I started a load of laundry a few feet away, and when I turned around she was gone. I quickly found her playing with toys under Silas' bed. Then, I put her hair in pig tails yesterday. I set her down to strip the sheets off the bed, turned around and one rubber band was missing- swallowed. I gotta keep my eyes on that girl!
At this point Evelynn has tried to eat oats, banana, and rice cereal, but she hasn't really taken to any of them. I think she is just too full from her milk and isn't hungry. It is hard for me to get her to drink much milk before she goes to bed around 7:15, so she has been getting up around 10:30 every night to feed and then one more time before my alarm goes off at 5:30. Silas was sleeping from 7:30-6 by 4 months, so I am having a difficult time figuring her out. One thing I know is that she eats when she wants to- you can't make her stock up on milk or cereal before going to bed.
Funny Habits: She is not a peaceful eater. She is always playing with hair or looking around while she nurses. She always puts her left hand behind her head before she goes to sleep- it is a good signal that she is sleepy.
She just got in 2 teeth.

Before we had fully decided on our name for our girl, I hesitated with Evelynn because I knew that it would be difficult for the people around here to say. And I was right. I don't think anyone says it correctly. It normally comes out as "Ellen", "Evan", "Elyn" or some variation. I have thrown around the idea of giving her a Hindi name, but I just can't decide. I should just have people call her Sophia. Of course everyone calls her "Guria" meaning "doll". They say that she looks exactly like a doll.
