6 Months Old!!!

I can hardly believe it, but our little ladybug is SIX MONTHS OLD!!!

To celebrate, she drank milk, ate some carrots, took a long nap, read a couple books, and got a check up and four shots (she was not too thrilled about this).

Mila has been introduced to solid foods and she isn't too into working on their relationship. She enjoys pears, but only if they are so liquidy that she can drink them. She likes bananas and oatmeal cereal, but pretty much hates everything else.

She now has TWO TEETH! They came through in mid-December. We could feel them one day and they were through within two days. She did pretty well through it, though we are dreading molars. She loves biting spoons and cups AND nipples.

She is doing much better with tummy time and rolls over quite a bit on her own, though she always seems shocked by it.

We signed her up for a parent/tot swim class that starts in a couple weeks. I am super excited about this because she loves to be in the water and I know she is going to have a blast! Other babies from our mommy/baby group are doing it too! Austin is going to be able to come, which only adds to the family fun! We are trying to figure out the GoPro camera so we can get some underwater footage.

I got her a swim diaper and the cutest suit ever: (link below)

I am back at work now... it was a little difficult going back and leaving her, but I feel really lucky to have a job where I am only gone for 3.5 hours 2 days out of the week. Austin takes care of her and they are loving their together time. There is nothing better than the smile I get when I see her face after a morning of teaching.

Anyway, here are some Mila details!

MILA LOVES:
dancing, reading books, feeling everything-- especially the cat and the dog, trying to put things in her mouth-- especially the cat and the dog, being tickled, sitting up like a big girl, read and feel books, music, pulling hair, bath time, brushing her teeth, playing in her activity center, and laughing/smiling in general.

MILA DOESN'T LIKE:
tummy time (she'll do it, but not without complaint), not being held, not being with her mama, having boogers removed from her nose, bed time, and not being allowed to pull on or eat the cat and the dog.
