Just about a month ago she sat up for the first time...now she's CRAWLING! I tried using some toys as bait, but she went for the shoes. That's mah girl :)

Lily, how are you 6 months old?!
Darling Lily,
You're 6 months old today! Both daddy and I think you're growing up entirely too fast...your sister, however, would like you to speed it up so she can play with you. You do your fair share of playing together, but Mia has some big plans for the two of you. Until then, she'll stick to pat-a-cake and just making you laught with her funny faces or dancing all crazy ;)
You got your first and only two teeth right about 4 months. Since then, you've been working on a couple, but they haven't popped out yet. Since you're busy teething, that pretty much means you're usually soaked with drool...and your daddy and I are usually soaked, too! You talk a LOT and love to sing. Oh, and you screech at the top of your lungs just to hear yourself, then you start laughing.
Rolling to your side is how you like to hang. It was perfect this Halloween...you were a mermaid, and you just relaxed like one. Too cute. You get on your hands and knees thrusting yourself forward pretty regularly, but your primary mode of locomotion is rolling or spinning or pivoting...I'm not exactly sure what you do. I can put you down on the floor and within seconds you're facing the other direction and 5 feet away! You love pushing yourself along with your arms. That means you go backwards a lot. We often find you stuck under the sofa with a big smile on your face.
You've insisted on eating food. Mia LOVES feeding you! (you've got an awesome big sister there!) You can eat a whole bowl full. Yes, you do get super messy...a messy mutt is what Mia calls you. Mealtime buys you a ticket to the tub. You and Mia love to bathe together. You in your bumbo and Mia trying hard to resist pouring water on your head. Water is your friend. Splashing and squealing are your thing.
You spent you first long weekend with your Nana and Pawpaw a couple of days ago. Daddy and I hit New Orleans for a little vacation, while you and Mia lived it up with your grandparents. You did great and were so happy to see us. We missed you so much!
Lily, you're a happy kid who's always ready to play...or eat ;) We love you so much!
Love,
Mama

really Lily?
HOW could you possibly four months old all ready?!
You, my darling are sooooo very different from your sister. You have an actual temper...and don't mind letting it fly without a seconds notice. You're a good sleeper, but you wake up screaming and scare the crap out of your dad and me! You are one of the smiliest babies that there ever was. All someone has to do is get your attention and smile at you to get you to turn your high beam smile on. Lily, you are also very bald! Well, you have a little fuzz, but the back of your head is as bald as a cue ball...it's from all that scooting around you do on your back. It's actually quite cute when you get a little red road rash spot. We got you a Sophie giraffe and you shove it in your mouth until you make yourself cry...it's as if you think someone else is trying to smother you...you're so silly. Rolling over and over is something you're now proficient at, but it still pisses you off when you think you're stuck.
I love to just hang out in bed watching you wiggle your fingers in front of your face. Nana says your daddy used to do that, too. You're getting so good at grabbing and holding on to things. I love your perserverence when you want to hold something...you try and try and try until you get it...if you don't get it, you just SCREAM! :) You ride around in the car facing backwards. We put up a mirror in front of you so I can see you through my rear view mirror. I love looking up and seeing you sleeping like an angel, sucking on your blankie, looking at your sister or staring straight back at me...when you notice I'm looking back, you smile so sweetly. You, my little love have me and my heart wrapped around your little finger.
Let's move on to the drool. I swear you were an old hound dog in a previous life. You drool soooo much. I know you're working on cutting your first teeth, but baby! So, everything you touch, including my hair, is usually soaking wet. That's ok, because if you're chewing on something, then you aren't screaming :)
Your daddy just informed me that you just tried to CRAWL!!! Your top half was swaddled and you rolled on to your tummy and dug your feet into the bed and pushed one at at time...you actually moved forward approx 6 inches. We really don't encourage mobility in this house young lady :)
