6 Months

Time has flown by! I can't believe our baby is already half a year! Penny is still holding steady in the 95th percentile at 18lbs, 4oz and 28 inches (and is still bigger than friends who are 10-12 months old).

She can sit up well on her own now. People ask if she can roll over- yes, she CAN. Will she? No. She did it twice but she hates to be lying down. She will scream her head off til you pick her up or help her sit up.

She thinks baby food is really fun- bananas are her favorite. But she needs to feed herself. She steals the spoon from me and then puts it right it her mouth!

I know she is more interested in the spoon than the food but I don't care. She thinks everything needs to go in her mouth.
Including her feet, which have become a favorite.

She has recently started trying to talk. She's always made those cute baby noises but just a couple of days ago she started actually moving her mouth like she is talking while she is making her noises.

She is now becoming interested in other kids- before she only had interest in adults. She loves playing with her cousin, Travis, and her friends Blake, Deacon and McClain.

For some reason, she always does this when she is sleeping! She turns herself 90 degrees in bed.

She is Daddy's girl all the way.
She already knows our roles. She will only go to bed for Mommy, but Daddy is so much fun!

She went on the swings for the first time yesterday.
She liked it.

We like her!
