She's 6 months

I have a feeling that for every monthly update for Arrielle, I will start with-- I can't believe she's already (insert number here) months!! Truly, these past 6 months have flown by. I can't believe my baby is a half of a year old! She has been such a delight and as her personality develops I can see that we are going to have a very, very lively house!

This little one is quite the active baby. She's not quite crawling yet but she is determined to learn. Whenever I put her on the floor she immediately flips over to her tummy and begins what I call the bunny hop. She sort of kicks her legs out behind herself and scoots forward. And before I know it, she's across the room!

She has mastered the art of the "stare down" especially when she meets new faces. But after a few moments, the stone face turns to a warm, sweet, drooling smile. One thing that I love about her is that when she sleeps her eyelashes are so long that they graze the top of her cheeks. It's so precious. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for her as she grows!

Fun Facts:

-She's quite ticklish under her rib cage.

-She sucks her thumb and refuses to take a paci

-Although she is somewhat bald in the back of her head, she sometimes wears pigtails in the front.

-She loves to watch her brother run and jump around.

-She started eating solid food last week. (See pics below)

Arrie wasn't too excited about the high chair. She wasn't sure what to make of it...

But she LOVED her rice cereal. She helped me by grabbing the spoon and pulling it to her mouth. Next week she'll start sweet potatoes and bananas!
