Her other big gifts were an exersaucer from Mike's parents and a bumbo seat from mine. Here's a picture of all the other gifts she got...boy, this girl is spoiled!
We were traveling around a lot for the holidays, but she was a trooper and loved getting all dolled up.
She got a lot of 6-month clothes for Christmas and they're close to fitting. She'll be 6 months in a couple weeks, so she right on target. She loves to smile and is laughing even more. She's also quite an independent little lady. She sometimes gets fussy when being held too long because she wants down to play. Laying down surrounded by toys is her favorite place to be.
She is rolling over a lot more and we've been encouraging her to start crawling, but she just gets impatient and gives up. I'm sure it's a little early, but we can't wait to see her grow. She loves to be on her feet and we wonder if she'll be walking before she crawls!
We started giving her rice cereal at the 5 month mark. She was going through quite a growth spell and couldn't get enough to eat. She seems rather indifferent to it, but we usually try a few bits a couple times a day. I was so excited a couple nights ago when she actually opened her mouth when the spoon came near. I was worried I was pushing her too much, but I'm glad she's starting to understand it.
She's been reaching for things now. When we're talking to her, she'll reach for her face and I know she loves her daddy's beard. She's growing faster than my emotions can prepare for. I'm just so proud of how smart and beautiful she is. I'm excited to see what 2015 will be like for her!
