six months old

Our little lady celebrated her half birthday this weekend.

i could go on and on about how fast time has flown, 

but i'm sure most of you are moms too, so you know exactly what i'm talking about.

i wish i could come up with a word other than "sweet" to describe her, but that's what she is.

sweet. happy. easy going.

she is full of smiles, but for some reason when i whip out my huge camera,

she gives me this blank stare.

oh well, she's still cute.

her and finley are really starting to become friends.

watching their interactions pretty much makes my heart melt.

she loves to sleep, and we love her for that.
getting her out of her crib in the morning is one of my favorite moments with her.
she's always so happy, snugly, and ready to chat me up.

still no teeth, but a heck of a lot of drool.

she's tried out rice cereal a couple times now.
she's a champ at opening her mouth for the spoon, but hasn't quite mastered swallowing yet.

 {if you're ever looking for a great book about feeding babies, and making your own food,

i highly recommend Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron}

she's getting pretty close to sitting on her own.

and you know what that means.....

i can photograph her doing something other than laying flat on the floor. hooray!

our little adalaide is the most precious gift.

we look forward to watching her grow into a little lady 

{but please don't let it happen too fast}

 

happy half birthday, sweet baby.
