Lila: 6 Months

Ok. 6 MONTHS?! That means that she's halfway to turning one!! Which is kind of freaking me out and making me nostalgic at the same time. I started looking through some pictures and videos of Lila as a newborn. What a difference 6 months makes! We sure love our Lila Loo! There have been some challenging days and frustrating moments these last 6 months BUT there have been so many moments of pure joy that make up for anything that has been hard.

Here's what Lila has been up to this month:

She's learned how to sit up! Which makes her seem like such a big girl! She still has some tumbles, but for the most part she is sitting up all on her own.
Lila is liking her start to solid foods. We've tried oatmeal, applesauce (which she hated), and avocado. She loves to grab the spoon and "feed" herself- which really means that she gets it all over.
She loves blowing raspberries.
Lila loves when Dad comes home from work. She gets so excited and will squeal. She also loves to try to grab Dad's work name badge and get it in her mouth.
Lila's new favorite toy this month has been a long string of pearls. She loves shaking them and put them in her mouth. Such a girl!
Went on her first flight going to California for Uncle Miles' wedding
Lila loves drinking out of cups. If I'm holding her and get a glass of water she'll reach for it and pull it to her mouth. She'll stick her little tongue out and slurp up some water. It's so funny! We got her her own sippy cup but she still prefers a "grown up" cup.
Lila went to the beach for the first time and loved watching the waves come in
Is such a wiggle worm and has decided it's fun to try to roll over and wiggle while Mom is changing her diaper or getting her dressed.

Most of my pictures of Lila these days turn out blurry because she's always moving...
