6 Months Old

In mid-July Lily had her half birthday. This year is going by so fast! It was the first time that she sat on her own when we took the Pooh picture in the rocking chair. She went in for a check-up and the doctor was pleased with all that she can do and how she's growing. At her 6 month mark Lily can roll from back to tummy and tummy to back. She figured out how to roll across the room to get what she wants. (Uh oh for mommy!) She can sit independently and "talks" and laughs more and more.

Lily started eating solid food (other than rice cereal). Her first food was applesauce and she did not like that at all! She shivered after taking a bite! But continued to eat a few more bites and ate most of what I offered her the next few days. I think sweet potatoes were next and she liked those better. It seems she likes veggies more than fruits, which is different than most babies, but fine by me. The good thing is that even though she gives "icky faces" she still eats everything we offer her.

Now that Lily can sit and play she loves picking out toys from her toy box. She pulls every single toy out and puts it on the ground. I've been working on teaching her how to put things back in the box but she is not interested. ;)
