Charlie is getting more and more wiggly these days. She is never still unless she's in a deep sleep. She's rolling over both from from to back and from back to front, and she's getting closer to crawling. She can creep backward and can stand on her own if I get her holding on to something. She's also very close to pulling herself up. In short, she is one wiggly monkey.
One of my favorite things that she does is "growl" when she's excited. She is also testing out her yelling and screeching skills. How do you explain to a six-month-old the concept of an "inside voice"?
She has tried all sorts of foods now: squash, carrots, peas, green beans, squash/corn combo, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches, pears, prunes, apples, oatmeal, barley, rice, soy yoghurt, beef, and probably some other foods I can't remember. Is it hypocritical to feed her veggies that I won't eat? Cross your fingers and hope she's not as picky of an eater as I am.
She weighs 17 pounds, 7 ounces as of this afternoon. She's sleeping an average of 10 uninterrupted hours a night, and she naps three or four times a day for about 30 to 45 minutes at a time. She's drooling like a firehose, but that's easy to forgive when she giggles. We still need to capture the giggle on video.
It's amazing how much she has changed in the past six and a half months. Each new stage is more fun than the last one!
