Happy Half Birthday Diedre!

my baby is 6 months old today!

here are some milestones she has reached:
-can sit up assisted
-loves to eat rice cereal; has also eaten peas and squash
-can drink from a cup (assisted) and a sippy cup
-is very chatty (says: mum mum and da da da and baa--and will sometimes repeat it back to us if we try to get her to say it)
-responds to her name
-gives us lots of smiles
-can roll both ways
-creeps along the floor to get places
-can push buttons or flick switches to turn music on (on her toy or play mat)
-loves feeling different textures (animal fur, hair, carpet, laminate flooring)
-loves animals (squeals with delight whenever she sees any)
-loves other kids and pretty much anyone who will give her a big smile
-loves baths...or the toys therein
-loves having her teeth brushed (well, really its her gums because although she is teething, she doesnt have any teeth that appear close to the surface at this point)
-loves the jolly jumper & likes the exersaucer & swinging (especially when we say "WeEe")
-loves it when we clap for her
-loves being outdoors, loves the wind in her hair/face and swimming
-does not like falling asleep (especially lately...we've been putting in alot of time and energy trying to get her to sleep...she looks tired, acts tired, but fights sleeping like crazy)

anyway, thats alot of info, but i figure someone out there might care...especially the grandparents
