6 months old and more

03/09/09 - Elizabeth was 6 months old this past Monday. She liked playing with her sign, and eating it also, way more than just sitting next to it this month! She continues to gain more and more personality and become more fun each and every day. At her doctor's appointment this week she was 27 inches tall and nearly 16 pounds. Yikes!!! It's crazy to watch her grow and change. We were given clear evidence that she is our daughter at the appointment. The doctor was dangling his stethoscope in front of her (to watch her go after things with two hands) and she stuck out her tongue as she concentrated on getting it, just like her dad and me. It was funny to watch. We've seen her do the tongue out concentrating thing quite a few times now.

She has now eaten all sorts of baby food. She is loving everything she has tried thus far in her "second foods." She has also enjoyed ice cream, birthday cake, crackers, flavored rice, and just today (03/12/09) spaghetti!! The picture below is her eating her first "puff," the easily disintegrating finger foods for babies. She's still funny to watch when you give her new things.

Elizabeth loves to ride in her backpack! She fell asleep when I walked her home from church on Ash Wednesday. She has since ridden a few more times, including a few track practices! She likes how she is able to see everything from up on my back.
