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!

What a cute little girl. So nice to have a happy and content 4th child. I have to laugh because I think Lilly is about to pass Sophia up in weight. Sophia might be 17lbs at 16 months.

So Cute! I love that Lilly has blue eyes and light brown hair with some red in it. She has her own personality, and I love it!
What a blessing these sweet little grandchildren are in our lives.
love, MOM

We found your blog and thought you would enjoy our new website www.MommyGiggles.com.

Mommy Giggles is a site where moms submit funny pictures to share with other moms to get a giggle out of. They can either be pictures of their kids or of other hilarious “mommy moments”

We are contacting you to see if you have a funny picture that we could post – we would of course give you the credit, and also post your blog (if you want). There is also a $25 Amazon Gift card drawing to everyone who submits a photo each month.

We also would appreciate if you could spread the word about our site to other moms too!

We hope you will get a “giggle” out of our site.
