Blueberries

Lola had blueberries for breakfast this morning. She loved them. So far we haven't found anything she doesn't like - except peas and carrots mixed together. She likes peas, and she likes carrots, but not mixed. I don't blame her... green and orange make brown. It did look pretty gross. So, she has now tried sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, apples, bananas, avocados and blueberries. It's funny how I was so reluctant to start her on solids - I guess because I didn't want to think of her as being "big" enough to eat anything besides milk. But, mealtime is so much fun now!

Doesn't she really look like Matt here? I don't mean her actual looks, but her table manners. :)

"Um, is it just me, or is there a tiny person creeping up behind me?"

Six month stats

Lola went for her six-month well-check on Tuesday. She now weighs 17 pounds, 6 ounces and is 26 3/4 inches tall. She's holding steady in the 75th percentile for weight and 90th for height. She had three shots in her thighs - the shots are still not fun and never will be, but they're getting easier. (I think it's because her thighs are getting chunkier.) We've been introducing a new food each week for the past three weeks. So far she's eating sweet potatoes, peas and apples, and she likes everything she's tried! Up next is avocado, bananas, blueberries and carrots. She smiles and giggles and babbles all the time. I swear she's been trying to say "mama" this week. She rolls around everywhere and is soooo close to crawling. She can pull and scoot forward. Today she got up on her hands and knees for a few seconds and then went back down on her belly.

Who is this active little bean, and what has she done with our baby?

Out and about

Getting ready to go for a walk...


No more pictures, please! Let's get this thing moving.

Just being silly

Comfy? Hmm...

I put Lola down for a nap on Friday morning, and when I went in to check on her, this is what I found...

181 days = 26 weeks = SIX MONTHS!

Well, it's time to start planning Lola's first birthday party. She's six months old today. Boy, how time has flown. Here's a little recap of how we got here.

Sweet taters

We mixed a little sweet potato in with Lola's rice yesterday. She seems to like it! She slept through the night last night. She's been going 11 to 12 hours at night (for the most part) for about a week now, which is WONDERFUL.
