6 Months

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Addie is 6 months old today! It's hard for us to believe that 6 months have already gone by, most days anyway ;)! We love our Addie. She makes us smile everyday. At 6 months, Addie is starting to be a wiggle worm. For the last month, she has been able to roll from her tummy to her back, and she is now getting close to rolling from her back to her tummy. Addie has now also realized that she can reach out and grab things, and without the fear of falling, she dives for the chance to get her hands on the prize. Addie laughs when we tickle her, and she's starting to think that peek-a-boo is funny. She loves tub time and has graduated to the big people tub. Addie started eating solids about two weeks ago. We've started out really slow. She has had green beans, squash, yams, avocado, pears, and bananas. She hasn't been wild about the whole eating thing, but yams seem to be her favorite so far. I found a great website about homemade baby food, http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/. I'm not sure if I'll make all of Addie's food, but I have liked this method. Sadly Addie is now experiencing her first cold. She had a low grade fever about week ago and now has a stuffy nose and a cough. We hope she gets better soon. She has her 6 month doctor check-up on Monday.

So this funny and kind of gross picture is Addie with spit-up all over her face. I came back up stairs after changing laundry and spotted something on Addie's face from across the room. When I got closer, I couldn't help but laugh out loud because she had managed to spread the spit-up all over her face - yuck!

Addie is a patient baby. She needs to be, because I still feel like I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. She is happy and smiley. We just love her and are excited about continuing to watch her grow and learn.
