6 Months Old!!

I can't believe our sweet little girl is already 6months old!! The time has really flown by. Adelyn has been developing well, and as her Dad and Uncle Skip would say, is a lot more fun b/c she actually plays with you. She is sitting well and loves reaching for whatever is around her. She babbles a lot and does this soft singsong noise that is precious. She has not developed stranger anxiety yet, but she certainly has started to develop separation anxiety, especially in the afternoons. If I leave the room, I often hear a loud wail from the room she was in. The problem is accentuated by the fact that her two bottom, front teeth came in this week. She is generally pretty happy, though, but evening times can be a little difficult, especially if I need to get anything done. Thanks goodness for Praise Baby and good teething toys!
We went to her 6month check up today, and she weighs 14lbs 4oz and is 25in long. She is in the 25th % for both weight and height, and, as the doctor says, is just petite. (which is evidenced by the fact she still wears some of her 3month clothes). Everything checked out well and she didn't even seem to be bothered too much by the shots. Fortunately, she was able to get both her H1N1 and seasonal flu shots since she is 6months old.
I just started Adelyn on solids this week and was putting it off b/c it was just more convienient to stick with nursing her. She has taken to the rice cereal pretty well, and I am excited to introduce sweet potatoes soon.
We adore our little girl!

Looking at the Christmas tree with Lisee. She was helping put the ornaments on...or take them off...

She loves grabing her toes, which can by nice when I am changing her dirty diaper.
