I'm 6 months old!!!

Well Megan is a whole half-year old, it has gone by so fast and yet we can't believe it's only been six months since our beautiful baby girl came into our lives. We have loved every minute of it. Megan continues to make us laugh every day as she learns to do new things. Here are some of the new things Megan has learned to do in the last month:

• She can't get enough rice cereal to eat
• She can sip out of a sippy cup (when she wants too)
• She has set a schedule that she follows everyday
• She can roll, turn, spin and scoot to reach her toys
• She is able to hold herself up in the crawl position
• She can play quietly in her crib in the morning (for about 15 mins)
• She has mastered taking her pacifier clip off her shirt
• She can play with her toys long enough for me to do dishes
• We are working on sitting up and eating vegetables

Megan has also figured out that it is hard for her mom function first thing in the morning so she "plays" in her crib while I slowly wake up. I can hear her moving around and talking to herself, which makes me laugh. After about 10-15 minutes she starts pushing her pacifier through the slats on her crib. At that time I am awake enough to go get her and we play in bed watching "Good Morning America" and reading books. She is just so happy when she wakes up that we just giggle at each other.

Megan is now getting to the point where she won't lie still enough for me to get a close up photo so this is the best one I took. I think this is why candid pictures are popular! This morning was also the first time she giggled when she hugged her elephant pillow. We go to the doctor for her six month well-baby appointment on Monday so I'll give you an update of her size then, she'll be in the lower percentile for everything I'm sure.

Now normally I have all of Megan's previous "month" photos but due to technical difficulties those pictures are on a disk and I haven't had time to load them on the computer agian. Hopefully next month I'll have the pictures to complete her update.
