Six months old!

Lynsey turned 6 months old yesterday! We didn't have any kind of formal celebration. Our day was pretty normal actually, but it's exciting to know that she reached this "landmark":). She almost rolled from her stomach to her back, so I think she realizes that she's old enough now that she really should be doing that - ALL her friends have been doing it for ages! She also started screeching a lot more yesterday, too, so I wonder if she thinks 6 month olds need to have more of a voice. Hmmm.

So last Saturday night we let her cry at night, and it was an awful night. The bright side of this is that she has been getting progressively better over this week:). I definitely know better than to say that she is "sleeping through the night", but I got 8 hours of sleep last night for the first time in probably 8 months so things are looking bright to me right now! I no longer wake up anticipating her to wake up, so now when she sleeps through, I can sleep through, too which is wonderful. Ahh the journey of having a baby. I have come to the conclusion that I have to stop expecting anything to become "normal" because I can only be let down when things change. I could say now that she is officially napping really well, but what if it is a phase she is going through?? Nope, I am just taking advantage of good phases like this and hoping they last, but not expecting it.

Basement update - Brian is finishing up framing and electrical odds and ends today (hopefully!) and tomorrow the plumber is coming and the inspector (hopefully he finds nothing wrong fingers crossed) and then drywall on Tuesday. I am so excited for it to be done! Our house is a bit of a mess right now with all the basement junk upstairs, but soon I will have that space downstairs so I can organize - can't wait.
