Six+ Months, eating, teething, sitting, crawling, and more!

Noooooo! I finally found some time to come back and post an update, and after writing so much about everything going on with our baby girl, I lost the post while trying to add pictures :( This is the kind of month I've been having, so I'm not really surprised... for example, I don't have a picture to post of our baby's first solids, because it is on my laptop, which crashed the night before needing it for work! Work is probably the reason it feels like everything has been so hard lately- I'm up at 5:30 every morning, and should leave the house each day by 6:45 to get to daycare by 7... I'm always late, but still early enough that I am exhausted! That along with waking up 2+ times a night with our baby girl, and my brain is definitely not functioning very well.

Anyway, I don't have much time to redo the post, so a quick recap- more time is being spent on hands-and-knees, but crawling is still army-style for the most part. However, the belly is coming off of the ground mid-stride, so I don't think it will be long before hands-and-knees crawling! Our baby sits like a statue now- she is so steady and has great control. It is making things so much easier- especially bath time! Solid foods are going okay so far, but we've only done rice cereal, oatmeal, and avocado. Will do more of an update another day. Teeth are visible, but I don't think they've broken skin yet. It's hard to get a good look- we have to settle with what we can see during laughs. Definitely feels pretty bumpy and sharp like teeth though!

That's all the time I've got right now, but I do have some pics from my phone until I can (hopefully) get my old laptop running again!

Preferred drinking method (over sippy-cup...I've got to get a baby cup with a straw now!)

Grocery store* after my mom went on a baby clothes shopping spree and played dress up:
(I have a shopping cart cover- my mom didn't have it... she promised she wiped off the cart with a disinfecting wipe. At least our baby will have a strong immune system ;))

Trouble- time to lower the crib mattress!!

(and no worries- the stuff you see between the crib slats is farther away than it appears here- she cannot reach anything she could pull into the crib)
