6 months old already?!

Seriously where has the time gone?!! I hear myself repeat that over and over again...But another month has passed and Lilly is now 6 months old! Well, actually she is 6 &1/2 months old now that I am finally blogging about it. I just can't express enough how much we just LOVE and enjoy EVERY minute with this fun sweet girl! Her little personality is coming out so much and she is almost always smiling and happy :) She is such a good baby! Just a few new things she is doing now that I want to document:
- she ROLLS over both ways and is now pushing up on ALL FOURS getting ready to crawl. She ROCKS and scoots and pushes herself backwards most of the time but seems to be able to somehow get to whatever it is she is trying to get to...and she is quite proud when she does get to it (usually the wipe box on the floor)
- she can take her binky out and put it back in her mouth...comes in handy for nap times when she can see her binky and find it and put it back in her mouth...most of the time ;)
-Lilly is eating rice cereal and baby food 2-3 times a day...and she LOVES it! so far she has had peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, applesauce, pears, & bananas (her favorite I think)
- she can now eat cheerios and does quite well with one at a time without gagging. It's super cute and she loves it! I think she thinks she's a big girl :)
- She takes two awesome naps a day 2-3 hours long. And she sleeps great at night usually from about 7pm- 7 or 8 am! WHOohoo!! Sleep is GOOD!
-Lilly is discovering her voice- no repetitive sounds like da-da or ma-ma yet but just sounds and sometimes little screams and screeches just to listen to herself I think. It's cute.
-She LOVES the bath! I lay her down in it still because she's not quite sitting up on her own yet and she just kicks and splashes and laughs and smiles the whole time. It's so funny to watch.
-She lights up and smiles anytime Zach or Kali or Madelyn talks to her or comes close to her. I love the bond that siblings just naturally have. She has the best big sisters and big brother who love her so much!
- At Lilly's 6 month check up she weighed 16 lbs 9 oz, and was 26.25 inches long. Happy & healthy as can be!

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!!

Believe it or not, this was our FIRST time to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom located only less than an hour and half away from us! Since we are all "Disneylanded" out and we had no major trips planned this summer we thought it would be fun to take a day and get away from the Sacramento heat and head towards the bay area for some roller coaster fun at Six Flags! Zach had earned a free ticket at school for completing a reading program during the school year so that's one kid in free! The kids were super excited and we even got our good friends Dave and Ali to join us for the fun! I really enjoyed the variety of things this place had to offer ...it's like a mix of roller coasters, zoo animals complete with a tiger show and elephant show, and also like sea world with a killer whale show and a dolphin show which was really fun! The kids even talked Mark into riding the river rafting water ride which nobody came off of dry. Madelyn even went too! haha! The weather couldn't have been more perfect and the food was actually really yummy as well. Everyone had a blast!! But, we couldn't leave until we got our Cold Stone Funnel Cake and it was AMAZING!

The super YUMMY Cold Stone funnel cake that we devoured in a matter of seconds! haha! Pretty sure that was our dinner too :)
