6 month rewind

1/2 year old

I'm 6 Months Old!

Stats: 24 1/2 inches 10-25%
16 lbs 6oz 50-75%


We celebrated her half birthday with a half cake and pictures
Mmm... Looks Yummy

I can't open it.

Let me in!

Is this what cake taste like?

I'm Eating Food!

And I LOVE it. We started Ashley on rice cereal last month and the four-month old gave it rather mixed reviews, sometimes devouring as if there wasn't enough bland, lukewarm gruel to sate her appetite and sometimes making that "eww, this is disgusting, why are you feeding me bland, lukewarm gruel" face

You know the face.

Now, here at the end of February, she basically stares down everything you put anywhere near your mouth and starts drooling. If she's being held at dinner time, she's now grabbing arms and trying to redirect food from our mouths to hers.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I realize that this post is a little late for the holiday but Happy Valentine's Day! It also happened to be Ashley's 5 Month mark, so our holiday picture is her photo with Lion-O. Her official stats this month are:

Fatter: yes
More active: yes
Weight: about 16 lbs.
Ashley also has begun to sit up very well and has started getting grabby with things and putting them in her mouth. She's especially fond of the ABC's (she did this all by herself):

4 months and growing

My Stats: 24" tall (25-50-%); 13.13lbs (50%); and my head is only 39cm (5% - no I didn't forget a zero)Fun things I can do now

As you can see I now reach for things and I'm learning how to sit up by myself. I've also found my voice and like to be very social, and if you missed the post I surprised mommy by rolling over from front to back. I've tried rice cereal and also some water, I'm not sure if I care for this change (pics to come). And tomorrow I get my first plane flight. Texas here I come!

laugh with me

She has such a cute laugh.

She did it! She rolled over from belly to back for the first time this afternoon. It happened so quickly that I missed it. I had just laid her on the blanket for belly time and knelt down to get a play mirror for her and before I even grabbed it she rolled, just like that. Can I get her to repeat it for anyone to see, of course not. So you'll just have to take my word for now.
