Six mois de pommes de terre sucre


look at those toes, you can see her little webbed ones on this picture

that butterfly decided to die on James' bumper this morning, I decided to put it on the baby for pictures this afternoon

6 months has gone by so fast. I am still waiting to see if our little girl is going to have red hair...it only looks like it in pictures and when the light hits it just right.

She can sit up on her own...for 3 seconds at a time, I know she has all the muscles for it, she just needs the balance/confidence in herself.

She has now had rice cereal, peas, and sweet potato. I have made peas, broccoli, and carrots, but have not fed her the home made stuff yet.

She is now babysat about 3 days a week as my new job is looking more like a full time vs part time job (which we are ok with, because we need the income)

She loves to talk and talk and talk.  And in the video on the last post, she is talking to me on the phone. She is even more talkative now.

She falls asleep in her swing every night now. We are ok with that, we will try the self-soothing when she gets a bit older.

She can still fit in some 3 month clothes, and I like to use 12-24m shirts as dresses on her for church.

I am pretty sure she is teething, but I have said that since she was 4 months old. The only difference now is that she is coughing and has a runny nose for seconds at a time throughout the day. And the drool picks up when she is chewing on something.

I am excited to introduce fruits to her. I am slow with this whole food thing not for fear, but because I have a hard time finding the right time to feed her where she isn't starving or full. And when I am not too tired to do it (since I am not using jarred foods too much [or intend not to]).

She reaches for her toys, and she still hates tummy time, but instead of crying now, she just rolls over again and again and again (till I stop turning her back to her tummy).

I  plan on uploading a video of her laughing once blogger decides to cooperate.

It is getting cooler outside, which means we can bring baby girl outside more, that and now we can use sunscreen being that the doc said not to until 6 months old.

Her 6 month check up will be when she is almost 7 months, I am pretty excited to see how she is doing...I know she is growing for sure.

We took her a couple weeks ago to get photos done at Sears for the free collage.  She was all smiles which made for a better shoot than when she didn't know how to smile.

Our baby is pretty cute, and I know that we have set her up for a lifetime of people calling her Rosemary vs Rose-Marie, but that is ok, people call me Rachel all the time....even when I am not around a Rachel.
