Paige 5 & 6 months

Paige just turned 7 months, so I have some catching up to do! Here's what she's been up to the past 2 months:
-She's very into rolling. Grandpa got her into it over Christmas and now she rolls everywhere...into the kitchen...in the back of Sunday school...in her crib...she's on the move!

-She has become a great sitter and loves being able to sit and play with toys (we still fall over occasionally)

-She loves baby food! We started her on rice cereal at 5 months because I just didn't feel I was producing enough and she seemed so interested in food. She tried baby food (sweet potatoes first) over Christmas break and is now on the "stage 2" food and usually eats 2 at each sitting. Some of her favorites are berries, anything banana, and peach cobbler. She's not a huge fan of vegetables, but tolerates them if mixed with fruit. She actually likes the chicken stuff, too (which smells terrible!) She's become pretty demanding about her food and there is usually a melt down if I take too long getting the food from the kitchen. We've also started giving her little pieces of our food, and she tried her first french frire (yes, I count that as an exciting milestone), and loved it! And of course, she still loves nursing.

First time trying rice cereal

Thought her high chair was very exciting

-She uses a sippy cup with water! She thinks its very fun and looks like such a big girl

-She can shimmy her way almost completely out of her bouncer (before I grab her)

-She is too heavy for the swing to swing her....sad day

-She now sits in the cart sometimes (instead of in her car seat) and thinks it is very fun. She holds on to the bar, plays/sucks on the groceries, and smiles at all the customers.

-She is still an awesome sleeper, usually sleeping from around 7:30pm-7am, and usually takes 2 naps a day

-She still rubs her eyes when she's tired, and loves her blanket, binkie, and to lay on my chest. And when in doubt, a few verses of "I love you, a bushel and a peck" does the trick.

-She is very into grabbing hair and earrings

-She thinks everything Ben does is funny and has the sweetest little laugh

5 months

-She loves to blow bubbles and has a very serious face while doing it. She also has really "discovered" her voice and can talk quite load at times. Both bubbles and Tarzan talk are very fun to her while shopping.

-Her hair almost totally lays flat now, but can still get some crazy poof in the back

-As long as she's been fed and isn't too sleepy, she is a happy little girl and smiles at just about everyone.

My sister-in-law, Camille, took some fun 6 month pictures for us. Paige was totally happy to sit in the chair and smile...she's a little poser.
