6 Months Tomorrow!

Tomorrow our baby girl will be 6 months old, and she just gets more and more fun every day! She's becoming an expert at grabbing anything and everything in her reach - the mail, her food bowl (I haven't let her dump it out yet, though), her toys, Mommy's cup, Mommy's hair, Mommy's jewelry, you name it, she will try to grab it. Thankfully, she's not upset when things get taken away yet.

Just this morning, Gail figured out she can click her little teeth on the plastic high chair tray, and attempted to do so with bites of apple still in her mouth. She is also starting to hold things in her mouth using her teeth. She still doesn't get tipping either the bottle or the sippy cup, but she does know which part goes in her mouth. And she's still impatient for food. After her bottle, she got mad the other day when her cereal and sweet potatoes took too long in coming. It's hard to get a picture of the angry face, since the camera distracts her from being mad, so here's the best we got:

Matthias had the camera sitting on the table so she forgot about it, so that's why the angle is funny.

Her other eating quirk is that she doesn't ever stop, as far as I can tell. She just eats anything I give her, even when her tummy is clearly full, as evidenced by the colored drool that comes back out, and is generally upset when the food is gone.

And lastly, here's a link to some selected favorite photos from this last month:
