Eeeek I don’t even know where to start!!! You want the good news or the bad news first? Hmmm….Let’s start with the good news…

Good News

Rosalia is just toooo cute!!! HA! No but seriously she’s hit some pretty cool milestones! She has 2 teeth (and looks like she’s working on a third one) she rolls over both ways, started eating solids and got her ears pierced! We first found out she was rolling over both ways on accident…yeah…don’t ask. She’s definitely strong for 13 lbs! She can wiggle and roll herself over all around the house! I can leave her one place only to come back and find her somewhere totally unexpected! Ayyy ahhh ayyy…indeed!

Solids took a bit of work but we’re finally getting somewhere. We started at 4 months old but she was so not interested. So we kept trying, little by little, until she finally seemed to be ready. So far she enjoys green beans, carrots and sweet potatoes. She doesn’t like the baby cereal though, I’m guessing the texture of it.

Rosalia loves to flirt with daddy! She sees daddy and she gets all googly eyed! Daddy kisses her and she tries to return the kiss by licking daddy’s face! Super cute! All daddy needs to do is whistle at her and she just melts. I absolutely love every bit of it. Rosalia gets so entertained by her brothers too. She laughs at the silly things they do and most times calms down when they play with her!

My most favorite thing about her is the way she loves. Her eyes say it all. I honestly feel genuine love from her. I’ll tell you how…when she looks at you, she LOOKS at you. I can see her study my face or hubby’s face in admiration. She likes to rub her face against mine as if caressing my cheeks! And yup we sit there for a while rubbing faces like cats! Ahhh I love it!

Rosie and I cuddle ALOT! As a newborn, I just couldn’t help myself. I loved the newborn curl so so much so I made sure to soak it in as much as I could. I’m sure that’s why she always feels the need to be held. Sorry not sorry! This is most likely my last baby and I’m a cuddler!

Bad News

So the bad news….she’s just growing too fast!! I honestly can NOT believe 6 months have passed! It seriously just happened wayyy too fast for me! Sorry if you were expecting some other kind of bad news, wasn’t really trying to trick you but dude this is bad news enough for any mama!! The next 6 months are going to fly by too! They will be full of some of the biggest milestones for both mama and baby. She’ll start crawling, then walking, then riding a bike, then off to schooool! Mang!! If anyone has a recipe to slow down time please don’t be greedy! I needs it!!

She does always want to be held. At times it’s difficult to do with all of the demands of motherhood with 3 kids. I don’t blame her though, I would want to be held and carried all the time too! It’s all she knows at the time and maybe once she’s crawling I’ll be hoping she goes back to wanting to be held all the time. Sooo ehhh for now I’ll soak it in.

My precious baby may look small but she’s thriving beautifully…she wears a size 2 in diapers and still fits in 3 month clothing. She’s not sleeping through the night yet, but like with solids, she might not be ready yet. Next, I’ll share MY six month update which is a probably going to be a little bit more raw. Motherhood is beautiful and rewarding but oh so tiring! To my little Rosie bear….you are everything I wanted and needed! Thank you baby girl!

Love,

Mama Bear Mimi
