Oh how much fun is a 6.75 month old?!

A whole lot, that's how much! A friend in Texas once said at 6 months babies go "from pet to person" and I totally agreed with her then re: Charlie Mac and that theory has been once again proven with Willa Ann. Of course both of them had tons of personality before they turned 6 months old, but you all say that about your malteses too, don't you? She is SO happy and sweet. And when she wants something--oh, she let's there be no doubt. Bradley thinks that her first word will be "now." I think it may just be a phrase--"now; dammit." She smiles almost constantly, and just look below and you'll find yourself smiling too.

See? I bet you are smiling now. She does that to me too.
We are co-sleeping with her as we did with Iddle. She's a nice face to wake up to. Now she doesn't wake me up crying or anything--she wakes up first and starts "patting" us. She's quiet, maybe murmuring a little, but mostly it's just patting us to get our attention. If I don't respond right away, she's patient--I haven't really let it go on long enough to test the "now;dammit" theory in this case--it's just too sweet. As soon as we look at her she's all smiles and ready to go. I need to go get a hug from her ASAP. Writing about her makes me itch for some squeezes.
