6 Months Old



We cannot believe Lily is already 6 months old!  This 1/2 year has flown by way too fast!  Lily is still such a sweet, "zen" baby and so much fun to have around!  Here are some highlights from her past month:

-Lily is officially sitting up by herself!  She has shown so much interest in doing it all by herself that we just let her get it a try and she got it pretty fast.  Big sister Caroline loves that she can sit a they laugh and "play" together on the floor.
-Lily's favorite thing/person is still Big sister Caroline.  Caroline likes to sing and dance for Lily and Lily just giggles and giggles.  Lily also enjoys Caroline greeting her first thing after her naps!
-Another thing the sisters are enjoying together is eating breakfast next to one another!  Lily is officially in the highchair and eating her yummy rice cereal every morning with Big Sister.  We just started this but Lily is showing a lot of interest!
-Lily is a big "grabber".... you have to be careful what your have in your hand when you are near her or she might just grab it from you!  The other day she grabbed my sandwich out of my hand and put it in her mouth!  I think Lily will do very well with solids next month!
-Lily is starting to become more and more vocal.  Currently she likes to make a throaty gurgling sound which makes us all laugh!
-Lily actually is showing a bit of personality lately in that she gets frustrated when she can't get to a toy or grab a toy just right.  It's special to see this little personality forming!
-Lily loves outside and she loves riding in the stroller now with big sister sitting upright and looking at the world around her
-Lily is still the strongest baby on earth... she loves to stand up (with our help of course) and LOVES tummy time!  She has even started to roll from back to tummy especially when she is trying to go to sleep... we may have a tummy sleeper on our hands!
-Finally, Lily had a great first Easter, attending many Easter egg hunts, playing with cousins and eating at yummy potlucks!

We love you Sweet Lily!  Thank you for being YOU!  You are so dear to our hearts and you make us smile so much everyday!
