6 wonderful things about being 6 months old
6 month olds are about as lovely as life gets.

Around Motherly, we think 6 month olds are about as lovely as life gets. With the thigh rolls and the belly laughs and the first messy bites of food, there’s nothing better than a chubby little one to snuggle up with.
Here are 6 things we adore about sweet 6 month olds:
I couldn't be happier

At 6 months old, the world is wonderful and exciting every day—and you make it that way mama. That’s why I always love to greet you with a squeak and a smile.
I'm showing my personality

Whether crawling or rolling, I’m about to take over this place. Enjoy these last few weeks with me stationary because pretty soon it will be. . .

At 6 months, I have accumulated quite the baby rolls, and now that I’m starting solid foods, I’m reaching maximum chunky monkey. Squeeze me while you still can.
I can sleep through the night
I didn’t say I will sleep through the night—but I’m capable of it and one of these glorious days I will surprise you and do it. You’re welcome, mommy.
I love my mommy

I just show it in funny ways.
You have spent the last year and a half growing me, feeding me and taking care of me and I LOVE ya for it! I pull your hair, scratch your face and (ouch!) bite your nipple because I love you, mama.
