Happy half-birthday to you!

I know I've been posting a lot this week, but our lovely little Lilah turned 1/2 a year old yesterday!  I can't believe she is 6 months old!  She just gets cuter and cuter and more and more fun the older she gets.  I don't want her to grow up, but it's amazing to watch!

A couple of videos for proof:
(please ignore the baby talk... I don't think I can help it)

A few things about 6-month-old Lilah:
  • she loves food.  I've been letting her try some different things at dinner time, mushed up.  Her favorites are sweet potatoes, broccoli, peas, apples, carrots, and pickles.  She is NOT a fan of egg yoke.
  • she loves bath-time, especially with Ethie
  • she rolls around a lot, scoots backwards and side-to-side and can almost sit up on her own, although she will fall over spontaneously
  •  she is very happy when we're outside
  • she is very happy most of the time.  She thinks we are all very funny, especially when we make silly noises or blow on her tummy or play peek-a-boo.  Ethie is especially good at making her smile and laugh when he says "potato" or "banana" or falls over.
  • she weighs about 16 pounds and is roughly 27 inches long (we go to the doctor tomorrow so I may have to change that)
  • she is almost too long for her 3-6 month clothes
  • she likes her jump-up, tolerates the bumbo chair and exersaucer (sometimes), hates the stroller, plays on the floor pretty well, but mostly really likes to be held (yay for the wrap!)
  • she goes to bed about 9 and sleeps til about 8 (and wakes up a few times in between)
  • she has definite stranger anxiety, which I don't really mind.  She loves us!
  • she puts everything in her mouth
Happy 6-months, baby girl!!!
