She is sitting up better and better. Only if she is reaching out for something does she tumble over. She can go from sitting to her hands and knees very well now. She is crawling backwards and hasn't quite figured out how to go forwards. She can pretty much roll wherever she wants to go. She is still a jumping bean and takes any opportunity standing up to jump. She now gives kisses, of course on her terms and plays peak a boo! I will have to get a video of it. She likes to babble and talk, but it is usually to cover up gas or she is going poop. We are convinved that she tells us "I poo", and that will be her first sentence lol
Eating is going very well. We are now up to 3 meals a day and trying all new kinds of things. She has liked everything so far, but still isn't sold on the green beans or peas. She especially enjoys the fruit but still eats her vegetables very well.
It was great to be home for Thanksgiving. Her "little turkey" bib was definately very fitting for the day because she wasn't in the best of moods.
So on December 4th she had her half birthday!! I can't believe how fast she is growing. I spoiled with just a few presents. And of course Mickey and Minnie wished her a happy half birthday! Mickey is still her fav and she lights up whenever he is on and loves singing all the songs. And of course she has to stand up and jump when the hot dog song comes on.
I took her to get her 6 months and christmas pics taken. Of course she looked adorable even if we couldn't get her to smile. It was a bit overwhelming and she looked at us like we were crazy with all our antics to try and get her to smile. And yes she has a bow on her head, which I said I wouldn't do, but she looked so cute and I didn't want any mistaking for a boy! Here is the link to her photos...

At her 6 month check up she was 14 lbs 12 oz and 25 inches long. She is the perfect size! Still has no hip or butt and we have to adjust her pants to fit.
She put out her little Nike shoes for St. Nick and got lots of great things for Christmas!
Right now she is really enjoying all the Christmas lights and decorations and loves to get down on her hands and knees and check out the gifts.
I am sure I have missed something but there will be more to update after her first Christmas!
