The half year mark

Lily E--

Hello my sweet baby girl. You have grown more this month than any other month, I think. The first day of your 6th month of life you decided you were ready to roll from your back to your tummy. I can't even describe how proud we felt; it was a very exciting moment! You also learned how to roll from tummy to back (that come second because you're not very fond of tummy time), you have really perfected your ability to pick up and maneuver objects with your hands (and mouth!), and you learned some pretty cool new sounds. The video below shows your current favorite sound: the cluck.

Tried for another 4 Gen photo. We're not a very photogenic group.

You had everyone entranced in Sesame Street
(except Great Grandma of course.)

You chew on anything and everything you can get your hands on,
no exaggeration! This is you knowing that you shouldn't
be chewing on a gift bag, but you are anyway because
it's just too hard to say no to that face.

Hanging out with Uncle Luke.

Cuddling with Uncle Shawn.

You and Sophie are warming up to each other quickly. The picture on the right shows Sophie sharing her ball. It didn't last long, but it's the thought that counts! Below you can see she even decided to cuddle for a moment. You took the opportunity to eat her ear.

Perfecting your tummy time skills.
Also a very cute picture.

First taste of "real" food: peas. You weren't entirely impressed,
but we have yet to see you turn away food.

Play Date

You had a play date with Julian and Aria, which you were very excited about. I had never seen you so content for such a long period of time. 

Watching Jazzmon do something interesting while you eat in
your twin Bumbo's.

You weren't incredibly excited about the fact that Julian
was chewing on your arm...

All the babies lined up in a row. 4, 5, and 6 months.

6 Month Stats:

17.5 lbs (75th-95th percentile)

27 1/2 inches (over 95th percentile)

Sleep update: You finally are taking all your naps in your crib, but we're still working on getting you to sleep through the night.
